AmEx Links Up Facebook With Coupon-less Deals, And Lets Merchants Go Social
American Express is going all in on the daily deals business, striking a deal with Facebook that is similar to the one it already has with Foursquare. Through a new Facebook app called "Link, Like, Love," AmEx cardholders can link their cards to their Facebook accounts (just like they can already link their cards to their Foursquare accounts. Once they do so they will get a dashboard of deals from brands such as Whole Foods, Dunkin' Donuts, Virgin America, and Sports Authority. Unlike Groupon or LivingSocial, these AmEx deals don't require anyone to pre-purchase anything or present any coupons to merchants. One of the biggest challenges for the daily deals industry is how to measure how many offers are actually redeemed at thousands of different participating businesses. But AmEx has an advantage here in that it is already a payment network that is set up and accepted in businesses large and small around the world. All people have to do is buy the deal item with their AmEx card and they will be credited the deal amount. The Facebook twist is that the deals you see are influenced by what you and your friends "like" on the Web using the Facebook like button.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/pOd1ZGbCmUE/
