American Express Small Business Saturday FREE $25

I love "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday" but American Express Small Business Saturday (November 24, 2012) is the best yet.  Who doesn't love free money?  American Express Small Business Saturday gives American Express card holders $25 credit on their statement for purchases at small business locations nationwide. I like to frequent a small local grocery store to get my $25 credit.  Some people have even bought $25 gift cards at small businesses.  But Maria, your local Starbucks is not considered a small business.    

Click here to register your American Express credit card to get the credit.  Enrollment opens this Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 12:00AM MST and continues until November 24, unless the maximum number of enrollments is reached.  Last year some of my friends did not heed my advice and delayed in trying to register and by the time they got around to it the registration was closed.  

The best part about Small Business Saturday is you can register more than one American Express credit card, so I will register both my Costco and SPG American Express cards. Below are the terms and conditions:

1. Limit one (1) $25 statement credit per American Express Card. To be eligible, Cardmembers must enroll an eligible American Express Card in this offer at ShopSmall.com. Prepaid and Corporate Cards are not eligible.
   
2. The number of enrollments is limited. Enrollment opens at 12:00AM MST (“Mountain Standard Time”) on November 18, 2012, and will continue until 11:59PM MST on November 24, 2012 unless the enrollment limit is reached sooner.
   
3. To receive the $25 statement credit, the Cardmember must use his or her enrolled Card to spend $25 or more in a single, in-store transaction at a qualifying small business location on Saturday, November 24, 2012. To receive the credit, the transaction must equal $25 or more (for example, if your transaction is only for $15, you will not receive a credit). Multiple transactions of less than $25 will not qualify even if the combined total of those transactions is over $25. You may purchase multiple items that together equal $25 or more, but you must purchase them in a single transaction to receive the statement credit.
   
4. Qualifying small business locations are those identified on the Shop Small® Map, available at ShopSmall.com. In addition, small business locations that accept American Express through Square also qualify and can be found on the Square Directory at https://squareup.com/directory/?cmpId=amex or from your mobile phone using the Square Wallet app. Small business locations that do not appear on the Shop Small® Map or that do not accept American Express through Square will not qualify for the $25 statement credit offer. Please note that business location information provided on the Shop Small® Map and Square Directory may contain inaccuracies or errors, including as a result of information provided by third parties. Transactions with political campaigns or political action committees are not eligible, regardless of whether they appear on the Shop Small® Map or in the Square Directory.
   
5. If American Express does not receive information that identifies a transaction as having occurred in-store at a qualifying small business location, the transaction will not qualify for the statement credit. For example, the following transactions will not be eligible for the credit: transactions made using an electronic wallet or any other transaction made through a third party; and transactions not made directly with the merchant.
   
6. Statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 8 weeks after American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. Note that American Express may not receive information about your qualifying purchase from the merchant until all of the items from your qualifying purchase have been provided or shipped by the merchant.
   
7. The Card Registration Terms and Conditions will also apply at enrollment. 
   
   
   Have A Great Weekend!
