FYI, Small Business Saturday is this weekend (Nov. 29th). I like to call it “Free Beer Weekend” as I have a few Amex cards laying around.
If you’ve never done this, find a local beer shop, buy $10 in beer and you’ll get a $10 credit back on your next statement.
BUT WAIT, there’s more! This year, you can get $30 credit per card. Just visit different small business’ and spend at least $10 in each one.
I don’t know what Amex is,
but hell yes to supporting your local hometown businesses. 8)
I wish I had a LHBS to frequent…
Mrs. R signed us this morning. I didn’t know about it, but looks like a deal.
American Express
Good tip. Thanks!
AMEX = American Express
If you plan on taking advantage of the credit you need to make sure it is a business that uses an AMEX card reader. Take a look at https://www.americanexpress.com/us/small-business/shop-small/?extlink=SBS2014_Offer_Wave1_AMEX.com_Hero_OfferMsg&intlink=US-Homepage-hero59-Learnmore to see businesses in your area that qualify for the credit. Many businesses that accept AMEX do not process directly through AMEX card readers.
Good to know! Will have to check out that link
I bought 2 six packs at the same store. I asked the clerk to ring up twice. About 20 minutes later I got two emails from AMEX thanking me for my purchases and letting me know I would be getting my 2 $10 credits. This is awesome.
I may go back if my wife doesn’t use the last purchase.
