How to Get the Most Out of Your Statement Credits
Here are a few tips on how to maximize your statement credits.
1. Buy Gift Cards
You will still get the statement credit if you buy gift cards. This is a great way to get the full amount from your credit.
2. Split the Bill
If you decide to use your AMEX credit cards at a local restaurant, you could ask the server to divide the bill into separate checks.
3. Pay in $10 Increments
Some shops may allow you to pay for a larger item in separate payments on different AMEX cards.
Where to Shop
You can find small businesses in your area using the AMEX Shop Small Map. Eligible small business categories include:
- Dining
- Entertainment
- Services
- Shopping
- Travel
The small business must be on the list in order for you to get your statement credit.
Bottom Line
AMEX Small Business Saturday is November 29, 2014 (next Saturday). This year you will get three $10 statement credits when you make 3 separate purchases of $10 or more at a small local business. This is an excellent deal! Especially for folks who have multiple AMEX cards!
Registration is now open. But keep in mind that registration is limited so it’s better to sign-up sooner than later.
What do you plan to buy during this year’s AMEX Small Business Saturday?
Do you know if you can get credit back from AmEx for multiple $10 purchases at just one qualifying small business? I have 3 AmEx cards registered, so I’m wondering if I can go to a store and basically buy nine $10 gift cards, pay three times each with the three registered cards, and get $30 per card credit back! Confusing – sorry. Thanks!
So the Cit AAdvantage Amex IS eligible? I thought those weren’t. They r usually excluded from Amex offers, no?
Do you know if Authorize user on the same account with their own cards can also receive statement credit?
The gift cards that are eligible for $10 statement credit – are these gift cards for the small business itself or gift cards for other businesses like amazon that are purchased at the small business?
Amex website explicitly states Serve is not included. Am i missing something?
@CJL – I believe that was changed.
