Hot on the heels of Black Friday comes a holiday created just for American Express cardholders. Want a free $25? Read on to find out how!
Register your AMEX card (
Prepaid, Corporate Cards and ExpressPay transactions are not eligible) starting now via the Small Business Saturday Facebook page. Then you can use your card to make a purchase of $25 or more on Saturday, November 26th at an eligible small business merchant and get up to $25 credited back to you on your statement! (
Independently-owned small businesses located in the United States that accept the American Express Card. Purchases made at large or national chain stores, at franchised business locations and at government agencies are not eligible.)
See: Free money!
The Facebook page has a participating small business locator so you can check out which businesses are eligible for the credit. In my zip code it included a number of dry cleaners, an independent pharmacy, a tire store, nail salons, chiropractic and acupuncture services, restaurants and much more!
After the spending spree that kicks off the holiday season on Black Friday, couldn't you use some free money to treat yourself? Make sure to
register your American Express card, circle November 6th on your calendar and get ready to support small businesses,
Problem with AX is that many stores don't accept it.
