To date, Amex cardholders have spent over $184 billion dollars on small business purchases on Small Business Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>This year, American Express launched &#8220;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.doortoshopsmall.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Door to Shop Small<\/a>,&#8221; 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 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.doortoshopsmall.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Shop Small portal<\/a>. This is very similar to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/delta-skymiles\/medallion-status\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Delta's Window Seat Shop<\/a>, except that there's currently no permanent physical location for Shop Small.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, cardholders can check their accounts for a targeted Amex Offer for cash back when shopping with small businesses.<\/p>\n<p><img data-aspectratio=\"749\/393\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-137082 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Amex-Small-Business-Promotion.jpg\" alt=\"Amex Offer for cash back on a purchase from a small business\" width=\"749\" height=\"393\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Amex-Small-Business-Promotion.jpg 509w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Amex-Small-Business-Promotion-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After registering for this offer, Amex cardholders who spend at least $50 in the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.americanexpress.com\/en-us\/maps?cat=Shopping,Shop-Small\" rel=\"noopener\">shopping tab of the Shop Small map<\/a> or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.americanexpress.com\/en-us\/maps\/online?cat=Shopping,Shop-Small\" rel=\"noopener\">Shop Small online <\/a>will receive a $5 statement credit. This offer runs November 20\u201325, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/amex-membership-rewards\/beginners-guide-to-amex-offers\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Amex Offers: A Beginner's Guide to Saving Money<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Key_terms\">Key terms<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Enroll in the offer and make one purchase of $50 or more in the shopping tab of the Shop Small map or Shop Small online.<\/li>\n<li>Receive a $5 statement credit within 90 days of the purchase.<\/li>\n<li>Limit of one statement credit per Amex cardholder.<\/li>\n<li>Only available to U.S.-issued Amex cards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"Our_Take\">Our Take<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>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.
