This year, Amex cardholders will earn a $5 statement credit when spending $50 or more on a single purchase in the Shop Small portal for Small Business Saturday. As usual, members must register for this offer. Here are the details for this promotion.
Amex Small Business Saturday
American Express founded Small Business Saturday in 2010, aiming to support small businesses on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. To date, Amex cardholders have spent over $184 billion dollars on small business purchases on Small Business Saturday.
This year, American Express launched “Door to Shop Small,” an augmented reality experience in key U.S. cities to promote small businesses. On November 25, a door display will be erected in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles with a QR code driving cardholders to purchase in the Shop Small portal. This is very similar to Delta's Window Seat Shop, except that there's currently no permanent physical location for Shop Small.
Additionally, cardholders can check their accounts for a targeted Amex Offer for cash back when shopping with small businesses.
After registering for this offer, Amex cardholders who spend at least $50 in the shopping tab of the Shop Small map or Shop Small online will receive a $5 statement credit. This offer runs November 20–25, 2023.
Although Small Business Saturday exists in the U.K., this promotion is limited to cardholders in the U.S. All U.S.-issued consumer and business Amex cards are eligible, but you must add this offer to your card before using it.

Our Take
I'm personally quite passionate about supporting small businesses. As such, this is a nice promotion for Amex cardholders. You essentially get up to 10% back on your small business purchase, plus the normal rewards issued by your card. And you're supporting small businesses along the way.
