American Express is partnering with Twitter on a program that syncs with credit cards for automatic merchant discounts and coupons.
“The service is similar to one that American Express has with Facebook, letting consumers use their favorite social network to take advantage of special offers,” reports GigaOM.
Amex customers who sync their cards to their Twitter accounts can use a special hashtag to redeem coupons. “Users don’t have to actually clip a coupon or print anything out to take advantage of the service. They just have to send a tweet and the discount is stored for them,” explains the article.
Best Buy, McDonald’s, H&M, Whole Foods and TicketMaster are among the early participants.
