American Express Supports Small Businesses with Shopper Reward


American Express card holders will get a little something extra back for supporting small businesses this holiday season.

Many shoppers might be immediately drawn into the big department stores and discount stores by advertising and special sales, but American Express shoppers who spend $25 or more at eligible small businesses between now and December 31 will get $25 back on their statement.

I for one think that this is a fantastic idea. People who shop at the big chain stores usually give the reason that they can get better prices than smaller businesses can offer. The $25 credit is a great incentive to buy a couple of gifts at a local shop, and shoppers across the country will be pumping money into their local economy.

If you want to participate in American Express’ “Think Big, Shop Small” program, register at https://enroll.amexnetwork.com/US/sbs, and comment below and tell us where you will be shopping this holiday season!
