I did the same thing, didn't get the sync email yet. Been an hour, did it through Twitter though.Signed up on the Facebook App, added the offer to my card, and bought a $75 Amazon.com digital gift card. Got the 'Thank you for using your synced American Express® Card ending in ##### at AMAZON.COM LLC!' sync e-mail shortly after. Took all of 5 minutes.
I got the sync email right after tweeting the hashtag, but I haven't received anything since making a purchase at Amazon.I did the same thing, didn't get the sync email yet. Been an hour, did it through Twitter though.
I read on SD that it took someone 4 hours to get the email.I got the sync email right after tweeting the hashtag, but I haven't received anything since making a purchase at Amazon.
Just took a chance on a $75 GC. I'll report back with my results.
I found the deal through my account page on the AMEX website, no need to give up more of my info to AMEX via Twitter or Facebook.
Thanks, OP!

Yes, the Amazon e-gift card for credit towards Amazon.com purchases. I chose the one that just sends an e-mail. I sent it to a different e-mail account just in case.[fixed]
Did you choose the electronic gift card option?

Thanks, was typing on iPad while still half asleep....Yes, the Amazon e-gift card for credit towards Amazon.com purchases. I chose the one that just sends an e-mail. I sent it to a different e-mail account just in case.
How did you get the confirmation from Amex of the qualifying Amazon charge? I ask because I also just bought a electronic GC and I am wondering if this confirmation is coming via email or I need to go to my Amex account to see it, or something else?Just took a chance on a $75 GC.

I am starting to get worried since I haven't gotten an email yet.I received an e-mail.
I didn't need FB or TW, I redeemed the coupon on my offers page on their website. They are good for the money as i've already received several promo credits for other offers.
Same here. I got the confirmation tweet from Amex and my account page says the offers is saved to my card, but no email from AMEX after I purchased $75 worth of e-GC from Amazon.I am starting to get worried since I haven't gotten an email yet.
So my full story is that the first time I tried to do this deal, Amex gave me a call about a fraudulent charge. Then Amazon told me that transaction was canceled although I verified through Amex that this charge was ok. Then I had to do the purchase all over again. Now that a few hours have past since my last transaction, I decided to call Amex. They told me that they were "100% sure" that I was going to get this deal. They said it just takes up to 48 hours for my charge to hit my account.Same here. I got the confirmation tweet from Amex and my account page says the offers is saved to my card, but no email from AMEX after I purchased $75 worth of e-GC from Amazon.
EDIT: Did you happen to redeem your GC? Mine are still sitting in my inbox. Plus my AMEX charge is still under Pending Charges, hoping once they spill over into Posted Transactions, I'll get the AMEX confirmation email.
Me too- thanks OP! I just got the eGift card email and the one from AmEx confirming that I used the card I enrolled in the offer. I wish the email mentioned the $25 credit I should be receiving, but oh well!thanks for sharing this. just purchased 75$ e-GC with my amex.
I got this with a purchase at Microsoft this weekend. Not sure why it happens sometimes. The $1.00 hold is still there even though my charge for Lego Marvel has gone through. I would not worry too much about it for now.finally got the same email as cancerman got. There is a mysterious 1.00 charge on my amex. I have a 75 and a 1 dollar charge-- anyone else with this? they wouldn't need to pre auth my card since I use it there WAY TO MUCH__UGH --
Yeah I did not get an email after the sync. Only after the purchase. I did check my card website under the "My offers" tab to confirm the sync applied to my card first though.Should you receive an email once you sync your card or after you do that and make your purchase? I just synched the card to the offer at the website but didn't order yet. I should just order and then I should get an email right?
I have a Costco AMEX card, it worked for me. Just logon to your account on the AMEX website and look for offers. You should see it there if it's available to you.does anybody have any insights on whether promotion works with Costco-issued Amex cards? In the past I've noticed that some Amex offers does not extend to the Costco-issued Amex variants.
Any help would be appreciated!
I'm in a similar boat....I have an Amex card from the Bank of America. I seemed to be able to link to my Twitter account without any problems, but I can't create an Amex account on the main website as I can only manage the card on BoA's site. Hopefully I'm eligible for this deal as I've already purchased a $75 eGift card.does anybody have any insights on whether promotion works with Costco-issued Amex cards?

3rd party sellers are usually billed as Amazon Marketplace Payment or something like that so I wouldn't risk it. Just buy yourself a $75 GC and then use the gc on the FBA stuff you want.Will this work for orders on amazon that say "sold by suchandsuch, fulfilled by amazon"?
Too late... I already ordered... Do you get another confirmation from Amex one your stuff ships?3rd party sellers are usually billed as Amazon Marketplace Payment or something like that so I wouldn't risk it. Just buy yourself a $75 GC and then use the gc on the FBA stuff you want.
This is my situation as well. I did that Halo 4 offer through AmEx but I don't remember how. I'm assuming my facebook is already linked because when I went on the site I just clicked add and there it was. I'm assuming I don't have to add the card somehow cause it wouldn't let me add the offer if it wasn't already linked...I'm in a similar boat....I have an Amex card from the Bank of America.

Me too- now I'm waiting to see a second credit of $30 for the similar Tigerdirect.com/AmEx offer.Got my $25 credit this morning on my $75 GC purchase.
Just checked my account and I have also received the $25 credit.Got my $25 credit this morning on my $75 GC purchase.
