Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    American Express Small Business Saturday is November 29, 2014, (the Saturday after Thanksgiving!).   This year you will get three $10 statement credits when you make 3 separate $10+ purchases at a small business in your area!

    AMEX Has Increased the Small Business Saturday Credit From $10 to $30 This Year!

    How to Participate in AMEX Small Business Saturday

    Link:   Sign-up for AMEX Small Business Saturday

    Step 1 – Register

    You must register your American Express card for Small Business Saturday to get the $30 in statement credits.  It’s free to sign-up!  Registration begins November 16, 2014.

    The number of registrations is limited, so if you’d like the discounts don’t wait too long to sign-up.

    Step 2 – Shop

    Use your registered American Express card at a small business in your area.  Check out the Shop Small map to find businesses that are participating.

    You Will Only Earn $30 in Credits When You Shop at a Qualifying Small Business

    You will earn three $10 statement credits when you make three $10+ purchases!

    Which Cards Will Get You a $30 Credit?

    You can use any credit card issued by American Express.  Other cards you might not suspect qualify as well:

    So this an excellent time to sign-up for American Express cards like the AMEX SimplyCash with $250 sign-up bonus.  That’s because there is currently no annual fee on this card.  So the more AMEX cards the better!

    Update:   The AMEX SimplyCash card is no longer available for new sign-ups.

    For example, the AMEX SimplyCash card with an authorized user card can give you $60 in credits.  Plus you get $250 in cash back when you sign-up for AMEX SimplyCash and spend $5,000 on purchases within 6 months of card membership.  But you have to apply by September 21, 2015 January 25, 2016 April 27, 2016. 

     

    So that’s a total of $310 ($60 in statement credits + $250 sign-up bonus) to put towards your holiday shopping!

    You will NOT earn the $30 credit with these cards:

    Bottom Line

    American Express Small Business Saturday is November 29, 2014.  This year you can earn $30 in statement credits per AMEX card, which is a $20 increase from last year!

    To earn the credit just register your qualifying AMEX cards and make 3 purchases of $10 or more at participating small businesses.

    While you will only get $30 in cash back per AMEX card, you can register every AMEX card you have.  And for folks like me who have lots of AMEX cards in their wallets, that adds up to significant savings!

    So if you sign-up for the AMEX SimplyCash card and add an authorized user, you can earn $60 in statement credits on Small Business Saturday.  And you’ll get another $250 in cash back for signing-up for the card and spending $5,000 within 6 months.

    This is a fantastic start to the holiday season!
