Are the general public ready to connect their card number to a SNS account?

And now there's an actual reason for hackers to take over Twitter accounts. If hackers were willing to hit Twitter accounts for the lolz, how much more will they do so when money is involved?

In the UK at least, Amex are already doing this with Foursquare, and offering pretty large paybacks for doing so (e.g. you check in/eat at a restaurant and they give you £15). These are very popular offers.
So I'd say given the right incentive, Joe Public's unease disappears pretty quickly!

Interesting incentive for sure, but I can see some drawbacks as well. You have to be careful what you click on Twitter I guess and the troubles with hacking accounts has also gotten for rewarding now. However the incentive to check-in somewhere and get a discount will definitely appeal to many users.
