American Express Offers (Amex)

[planteria]

a mere 5% for me Sarah.
doubt i'll use it anyway though as vouchers for Sainsbury's, we've been away in Africa and i'm heading to Italy on monday.

Amex 'Shop Small' is back 7 – 22 December 2019. It's now limited to 10 purchases.

ah yes.. we can't register until 31st October.

[Sarah]

Yeah, it's available now. Also have Morrisons (10% off £30 minimum) back again; it kept giving an error when I tried to save it a few days ago but appears to have worked anyway. Waitrose too (5% off £20 minimum).

[planteria]

I’ve saved Shop Small and Waitrose - though I’m unlikely to use that one. No sign of the Morrisons offer for me though.

They're currently advertising this quite heavily (e.g. on the radio) without mentioning any dates; however it doesn't start until Saturday!

[planteria]

yes, started yesterday, 7th Dec.
fwiw i tend to just ignore it and find that i get one or two fivers i didn't expect.

[Sarah]

I went to a local family butchers on Saturday and asked what they could do for £10... ended up with £11.50 of high quality sausages that will only cost me a fiver. Also made another yearly purchase from a specialist bookshop (nice books, but expensive); the owner told me he's been trying to stop accepting Amex for years yet they're still on the 'Shop Small' map and the transaction went through just fine, but maybe this'll be the last time!

[Sarah]

This is essentially no better than the Chiltern Railways 5% cashback at Quidco (except perhaps the season ticket exclusion); however I'll give it a try as 1 of my 4 credits for 'Shop Small' had to be added by Customer Services, leaving me with a positive balance that needs to be spent:
