Our Verdict
Visa Checkout has always worked to trigger Amex Offers (though Paypal does not), and you should be able to stack the two deals. The Visa Checkout deal expires at the end of the month, so just a few days left for the stacking.
Make sure your final cost – after taxes and all – is $50, use Visa Checkout to bring down the total to $30, then get another $10 off with Amex. Total cost will be $20 for $50 of stuff.
Stack the deal further by using a shopping portal for 5-7% off.

Hat tip to Slickdeals
No $10 credit yet. Usually these post faster
HSN charge $42.35 posted on 3/29, but so far no $10 credit. Is that because I used VISA check out? I hope VISA check out doesn’t void the amex offer.
My Amazon Fire just came via UPS. I love that it comes with a case too.
Just logged into my AMEX, and the charge is all good, at $37.05. I hope my $10 AMEX credit posts soon.
Got the Kindle , and was surprised that they included at CASE at no cost.
Pending charge on my Amex was $63.57. Called today about the $20 visa checkout not being applied and the agent applied it manually. Will see what charge actually posts on my Amex
Worked for me. $20 off $40 for Visa Checkout and immediate prompt from AMEX confirming the $10 off $30 has applied.
I purchased Candle by the Hour refills – but they start at $25/each and are pretty awesome gifts for chicks if you have a friend/family members birthday coming up.
Judy- code didn’t not work together for me. It removed the visa coupon. Also this is a terrible website it’s practically non-functioning
Garth – Did you manually type in the code? I went through BeFrugal (5%) and clicked on the code to copy it. I agree their site is awful, and like others above, I can see all kinds of weird “Pending” charges on Amex, but I have faith in Amex to back me up if something doesn’t wash. However, I would NEVER shop HSN again, not only because it’s weird, but the prices on most things are ridiculous (although Mod Podge was cheaper than Walmarts, even before any discounts.) I just realized that when I mentioned the 15% new customer discount, I forgot it was through BeFrugal.
Also: If you’re a new customer, sign up for 15% off order. It successfully stacked with the Visa Checkout/Amex offer. And all items in “craft” supplies ship for $5 per order right now.
Please update the thread if the 20$ VCO is refunded back to you. I plant to do this deal only after since most of you seem to be encountering that issue. The combined deal is ok till 3/31 so…
Doc, called in and the system mentioned the amount I was charged ($38.05) and the rep asked me if the charge on my card ($59.83) was a “pending” charge, she confirmed that everything should be good. I’ll take her word since it does sound reasonable and I think everything should be all right, thanks everyone here for your suggestions!
That’s what I read on FW too that the VCO -$20 will show up in your order page , but will not be taken off immediately on your credit card till the order is finalized. So the full price will appear as pending charges on your cc till then.
