  • Tweet special #hashtags and look for a response from @AmexSync with the confirmation #hashtag
  • Tweet the confirmation #hashtag within 15 minutes of the response from @AmexSync to confirm your purchase. Your product will be delivered to your billing address on file, with a free two-day shipping.
