In 2012, Amex offered a $25 statement credit on each registered Amex card whenever it was used to make a purchase of at least $25 at a qualifying small business. In 2013, they reduced it to $10 statement credits per Amex card.
But regardless of the specific dollar amount, the best part of this promotion is that each one of your American Express cards could be registered (including multiple authorized user cards under a single master account).
For 2014, they're sticking with the $10 level, but allowing you to do it 3x per Amex card! Click here for details. So you can get $30 of free purchases for each of your Amex cards - as long as you break it up into 3 separate transactions.
Imagine you had just 3 different Amex cards. That's up to $90 of free purchases as long as you spend it across 9 different transactions of $10 each. Not bad at all! Free Tip: Many local restaurants will qualify for Small Business Saturday and sell $10 gift certificates that can be used (and combined) for later.
Just remember, that to make your Amex cards eligible for Small Business Saturday, you need to sign up online and register each on Sunday, November 16th. It's a limited offer so don't wait too long.
In fact, my father's going to wait until 2AM tonight to be one of the first to register (click here) his LONG list of eligible Amex cards...
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI think I never commented but I've use a lot of your tips. I live in NYC and have a toddler myself.
Any tips in NYC? I just saw Alice's Tea Cup has $10 gift cards and it is a great place to take a little girl. I'm not planning to go shopping but I would love to get some gift cards from different merchants.
Thanks and keep up the great work.

@Tania P, thank you for reading and commenting. We're actually going to have a post in a few days with our exact plan of attack, but spoiler alert version is lots of $10 gift cards from small grocery stores, gift cards from our favorite local restaurants and then errands (hair/nails, dry cleaning, bottles of wine from local stores).
