Just thought I'd pass this along for people to look out for... I was playing Sky Force this morning and I saw this ad from American Express about a $5 iTunes credit. You click on it, accept it, type in your iTunes password, and it'll get applied to your account.

Should be something that shows up on other apps/games that use iAd.
 
American express gives you $5 credit for clicking on ad, is that legit? I would be concerned entering details and accepting on the ad without knowing the source.

I didn't enter any details, just used my Touch ID. It showed up again later on and told me I had redeemed it already.

iAds are meant to be interactive and be for that sort of thing.

Here's screenshot of the balance in desktop iTunes...
