5Scenario 4: Counting coffee beans to earn a coupon

Product placement

(a) American Express (AmEx) Gold Card: ACTS; the creator uses it to pay for a transaction, explains its rewards/benefits, and attempts to use it for lounge access. Removing it would change the entire premise of the video. (b) Dunkin': APPEARS; the logo is visible on the menu board in the background. Removing it would not change the video.

Transcript

The total for the donut and the drink is ten dollars. Cool, yeah. So put seven on this and then the rest on this. Uhhh, okay. Can I ask why? Because the gold card only gives you $7, duh. Hey man, you wanna get something to eat? Yeah, sure. As long as it's either B-Dubs, Cheesecake Factory, or Five Guys. Uhhh, yeah. Why do you want to go to those spots? 'Cause AmEx will comp me for those. Bro, not this again. Hi, I'm here for the steak and bottomless lobster. Sir, for the millionth time, that card doesn't get you in here. What do you mean? I pay $300, that's gotta get me in. Bro, what are you doing? Dude, I only get a thousand of these each month. Are you actually gonna sit here and count out 1,000 coffee beans just for a coupon? I lost track of where I was. I have to start all over. One, two, three.
