When I beat Gran Turismo for my dad, he bought me Brian Setzer tickets. Try harder, Amex.

oh boy, you got a wonderful dad. Setzer rocks

fuck you, dad, for never buying me the Queen at Wembley tickets when I beat Ultima IV in 1986
 
What's the quickest way to get an Amex card? I gotta win that trip to E3.

I got a friend who wants to know if this deal is able to be done using a pre-paid/reloadable American Express Card.

If anyone here knows, he would greatly appreciate it.

I have one of those. I need to dig it up at my parent's house though. Anyone got an answer?

Nope no prepaid or corporate Amex cards. Check the FAQ I linked https://sync.americanexpress.com/XBox/FAQ


Which American Express Cards are eligible for this program?
You may enroll any valid U.S. American Express Consumer Card or Business Card from American Express OPEN. Corporate Cards and Prepaid Cards (such as American Express® Gift Cards and Serve® Cards) are not eligible. If your Card cannot be validated, please call the customer service number on the back of your Card for assistance. See our Program Terms and Conditions for full eligibility rules.

Get the game early, play Legendary offline for the past week then go online and finish the last level starting at 12am on release = win a trip to E3?

To be honest if I cared about the game at all I wouldn't want to rush through it, I wanna absorb every bit I can, savour the long anticipated event.

But the money just for finishing whenever one is cool lol.
 
god i love amex.

there's also a buy 100 at Best Buy get a 50 dollar credit through the Xbox too according to the website

*slow clap*

If I had an Amex this would basically mean the game costs me $10 combined with Newegg's $15 off promotion. Alas I do not.

If my calcuclations are correct:
$59.99 - $25 (Microsoft Store coupon) - $35 (Amex cashback) - $5.99 (ShopDiscover) = -$6

I come out $6 ahead.

If I can get $100 in Amazon gift cards at Best Buy for $50, then even better.
 
They've been doing this for awhile with retailers and restaurants. Video games? Shit why not?

Get money back if you check into Halo 4 using your Twitter, Facebook, or Foursquare account! ;)

I bet all of the E3 trips will be claimed within 1 minute of midnight Eastern. Anybody not able to get an early copy shouldn't even bother.

Except the $25 is for a future purchase, not $25 off the Halo 4 price. You would effectively be paying $19 for Halo 4, with a $25 MS gift certificate. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but if you only wanted Halo 4 then the Newegg promotion would have been cheaper.

Fine print sez you must be online for the achievements to register.

Offline achievements = no sale.

Only the Lone Wolf Legend achievement is being looked at. Nothing in the rules precludes you from playing up to the last mission offline beforehand.
 
Screw the haters that don't even plan to get the game and are complaining about getting free money for doing Halo 4 achievements!

I for one will enjoy beating the game and then getting free money for doing it!
 
So can you beat it on any difficulty by end of the year to get this?

I found out today my power might not come back on until Nov 11th, which is plenty of time to but I wanted to take my time on Heroic
 
Got a code for the sync but I guess they might pull the Tile in the dashboard for console sync after Nov6, worth a shot anyway.
 
Turns out I had BOA Amex card. Signed up. There is also a $50 back deal for spending $100 at BestBuy. That will come in handy during Black Friday for sure.
- Complete the "Operation Completion" achievement and get $50 back as a
one-time statement credit when you spend $100+ at Best Buy with your
synced Card. You must wait until you receive an email confirmation
before redeeming this offer, which may take up to 7 business days.*

Sessler: I give this marketing effort a 3 dorito popes......................out of 5.
 
Brilliant move on American Express's part. Now all of your purchases are through them, and they'll make it back on ridiculously high APR fees.
 
So for the achievement that gives you the Best Buy "$50 off $100" promotion, is that something you can easily earn in a day by joining someone's online game?

I'm wondering if I can unlock that promotion before the Wii U launch, as I have the system reserved in Best Buy and plan to pick it up on Midnight.
 
Too many adds on the dashboard. Add one more for credit card companies. This is a ploy to put credit cards on accounts. This is sick. Free money is never fucking free. Question to those that have American Express cards. How much does it actually cost to have a card annually with and without a balance?
 
Will I get 2x if I add both my card and my wife's card? They're tied to the same account but have different numbers.

Profit from beating Halo 4 if so.

Way too much of a headache if you get hacked/want to remove it later for whatever reason.

Unless they fixed that second part.

Seriously guys...stop making things up without doing any research. This DOES NOT add your credit card to your account. This is the same thing AMEX does with social media accounts like Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare.
 
GAF gets mad that Sony never markets their games. Microsoft pours tons of marketing cash into Halo 4... GAF gets mad.
