    Could anyone find any bottle shops on the gold coast?

  • piggyfund on 28/10/2015 - 09:16

    Pretty disappointed with the dining merchants on offer in Melb CBD. I found a service station nearby though. Edit: Stupid me, There's a scroll bar with more, I thought there was just a handful. Oops

      If you're relying on the website, you'll get a tiny fraction of what's available. Firstly, there are numerous small Amex merchants displaying the ShopSmall logo. Secondly, the criteria used by Amex are turnover (<$1.3m Amex charges p.a.) and lack of surcharge. The only thing you have to be wary of is where franchises use a central banking system, e.g. 7-Eleven.

      Knock yourself out.

  • Eg51 on 28/10/2015 - 10:12

    I tried to sign up with my amex discovery and velocity platinum. It only accepts the velocity platinum application not that discovery. Strange! Has anyone has issue with signing up with their discovery amex card?

    Thanks

    • 7Alice7 on 28/10/2015 - 12:42

      I registered my Discovery card on the manual registration page because the offer wasn't showing in my account Offers.

        Yeah I tried and I got this message : Unfortunately, this card is not eligible for this offer. This is not a sub card or anything. It's strange though. I have used this offer in previous years. I wonder if this is only for new Amex card holder?

      You can start to use the card from 30 Oct to 30 Nov to receive the statement credit. I have received all confirmation email once I registered. If you use it today, it will not eligible for statement credit.

      4 listed maybe. Pretty much any small retailer who takes Amex will be eligible.

      • strikerzebra on 28/10/2015 - 10:43

        How do I know if they are small enough to be eligible?

        • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 28/10/2015 - 10:54

          They have to have >$1.3m in Amex sales each year. Doubt any company with <$10m p.a. would have those kinds of Amex volumes. So pretty much any small business. Even the dentist I go to (a chain of about 4 or 5 studios) is eligible.

          Are you suggesting that spending at any small business, not only those listed in the Amex website, will give cashback?

        • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 30/10/2015 - 09:30

          @zzyss: if they don't have a surcharge,and aren't part of a vast network,yes.

    Pinewood newsagency in Mount Waverley
    Central Park newsagency in East Malvern
    South Yarra newsagency
    Murrumbeena newsagency
    Caulfield convenience store

    Also Penhallurick's in Caulfield is a hardware store that sells all sorts of things so its a good one as well

          From last year's experience, it roughly goes like this:

          • If you pay by inserting/swiping your card, you are very likely to get a confirmation email (85% of the time?)
          • If you pay by contactless (i.e. PayWave/PayPass), you will not receive a confirmation email but the credit will still come through within a few business days (assuming it is actually from a shop small merchant)

          @illumination:

          I found last year there seemed to be inconsistencies as to whether I received a confirmation email or not - some I received, some I didn't, and it didn't seem to relate to which payment method I used. The credits came through for all transactions though.

          I've done two transactions this morning at Shop Small retailers - one was by inserting the card, the other was by Paypass/Paywave and have received confirmation emails for both!

  • jazzymc on 30/10/2015 - 09:42

    On the small business FAQ, I didn't think they were allowed to charge a surcharge, here is what on the AMEX site for qualified small business:

    b) Do not differentially surcharge American Express Card Members or discourage American Express Card Members from using American Express Cards; and

    I'm pretty sure, online shops will work too, as long as they accept amex. I used it at a florist a year or two ago, in Canberra (while I'm in Melbourne)… also looked up an OzB favourite - Dish'd - and they are listed in shop small, based on their shop in Prahran.

      I think a lot of the City Convenience places initially either charged nothing or $0.50, then towards the end they realised everyone was doing it and they could profit from it so they implemented a $1 surcharge.

        It actually IS still there - I came across it by accident a little while ago when I was searching around suburbs near home, on the way to work and near work to see what my best options were for maximising my Shop Small opportunities :). However (as you probably found) searching any or all permutations of the name Kwik Fuel/Kwik Fuel Osborne Park or even just Kwik comes up with absolutely zero results. However if you set the "search near" to Osborne Park, then let it search (with "Select All" in the category box), Kwik Fuel at Osborne Park is the first search result! No idea why it won't come up when searching by name - why on EARTH do they make this map so difficult to use, it would be so much easier if we could have a better search categories available such as "fuel", "pharmacy" etc. I've also found a couple of local retailers come up in the "Select All' search, but not when "Shopping" is selected - one is a Red Dot store, so it shouldn't be under any other category!!

        I've searched probably a dozen or more suburbs today and that Kwik Fuel is the only fuel outlet that I've come across so far.
