aahh! for some reason I cannot register my ANZ issued AMEX online (even though it says its eligible)..
now on hold to try get it sorted over the phone..!
- TrailerTrash on 30/10/2015 - 13:56
  
  All sorted - they pointed me to use http://amexconnect.com.au which enabled me to register the ANZ issued card!!
Jad on 30/10/2015 - 13:55

Just used at my first eligible business to buy lunch. Used contactless and email had arrived before I'd even sat down!

Interestingly the email mentions the name of the business redeemed at, I don't think this was the case in previous years.

Thank you for shopping small at XXXX XXXX using your registered Card ending in XXXXXX

Will help to keep track of which cards used at which businesses for those with multiple cards.

Last time they had this promotion I never got the credits, despite getting emails confirming each qualifying purchase.

Tried to sign up for the current promotion under my existing account. You have to enter your card no but it doesn't accept my security code since I think I've had a renewal card since the last promotion. If I try to register as a new account it says an account with that name already exists. Too hard.
- hamwhisperer on 04/11/2015 - 10:49
  
  This is an underrated piece of interesting feedback - did you follow up? People are presumably paying more for goods, or going out of there way to make savings, only to be shafted.

Good first day for me, I got $30 in total from GloHealth, Fruit Nest and Cannings butcher. I was hoping for another $10 at Core physio when I went there today but they paid the $15 hicaps instead so I guess no double dipping on that one. The emails came through right away.
fatwombat on 30/10/2015 - 21:03

Has anyone tried the Shop Small deal at Harvey Norman, Bing Lee etc? I have tried small businesses not on the AMEX list and I received email confirmations. Those in the city, you can try Spice Alley at Central Park. They take Amex, no surcharge.
- tqf8h on 30/10/2015 - 21:33
  
  I did at harvey norman Cannington last year, but did not recieve a credit. I contacted amex and they then credited me. It is still on the list for this year
  - fatwombat on 31/10/2015 - 22:41
    
    Thank you. Harvey Norman in Sydney is not on the list. They probably wont be classified a Small Business.

  You can write to shopsmall and they'll remove it from the list.
  Happened to me a couple times last year .. best to ask if a shop takes amex before you make your transaction.

one question,

if a store is not on the shop small list, but it is accepted Amex and it is small shop, do i receive any credit?
- Sweetnsour on 01/11/2015 - 23:23
  
  Most of the time you should but if its a small store part of a big chain then you wont. Only way to confirm is to try it out and share your success or failure.
  
  Also i notice the shop trading name is sometimes different to the credit card receipt business name. So that could be one reason why you are not able to find on shop small list.

one question,

if a store is not on the shop small list, but it is accepted Amex and it is small shop, do i receive any credit?

Be careful- I went to Prahran market on the weekend and shopped at five different retailers, they all took amex. I got four emails right away. When I got home, I called amex to find out why Pete n Rosie deli was not on the list. They said they would add them to the list because they are eligible and I would get the $10 next time I go there but not this time. They told me that if I can't find a merchant on the list or if there is one on the list that doesn't accept amex (I found that also) you can email [email protected] and let them know.
I am happy though, only a couple of days into the promotion and I have used up the ten on my first amex and am on to the next card.
JohnHowardsEyebrows on 02/11/2015 - 13:06

If you want to know if a particular merchant is listed, you can simply search for its name on ShopSmall. Of course, many businesses are not known by their trading names to Amex, so you may have to check the merchant name on your Amex statements.

NSW Convenience Store - 119a Macquarie St, Parramatta, surchange for Opal top up - 0.60 cents.
City Convenience - Shop 2, 138 -140 Church Street, Parramatta, surcharge for Opal top up - $1.00
OK Supermarket - Floor 232, Church St, Parramatta. They accepted Amex card on 30 October (last Friday), today (2 November) I went back, the shop said they don't take Amex anymore, she was telling all her staff don't take Amex card from now on as all Amex customers brought just $20 of goods and too much merchant fee for them. This merchant is in the shopsmall list. I will report to Amex.

    AMEX advised they will forward my concern to shopsmall team, shopsmall team will talk to OK Supermarket re T & C of shopsmall promotion. So I question Amex WHAT IF after Amex talk to OK Supermarket, OK Supermarket told Amex they will accept Amex card, but they still refuse to take Amex behind the scene, Amex said they can't do much about then as they can't force the Merchant to accept Amex card.

      I've found them either on "Services" or "Shopping"
      very inconsistent :S
      
      Some petrol stations aren't listed by their name… but by the company running the franchise.
      Best to look for specific petrol stations (rather than a search in my opinion). I think some of the "metro petroleum" and "United" are on the list.

      In my experience ive had a few merchants last year who didnt accept amex even tho they were on the map
      
      Best to ask before you fill up which is what i do. And if they don't accept amex i usuallly report them so they can be removed from the map.

I called Amex as I have not been receiving any emails despite using this promotion four times. They said the email will be sent after the transaction is processed.

I have used Pay Wave and inserted the card. I am not sure why the email system is different for so many people.

  If you have online banking setup you could check your transactions that way. I've only made one SS purchase so far and it was with Telecube (VOIP provider) and the cashback was credited nearly immediately.

Does anyone know if you can buy $20 iTunes cards and get the $10 credit?

  If you can find a participating small shop business that sells iTunes vouchers, then there's no reason why it wouldn't work.

    I was looking through the T&C and it said something about gift cards not being a valid transaction. However I think 2 years ago I managed to purchase an itunes card and still got the credit, but I can't remember if they had the same T&C conditions back then

      Are iTunes cards even considered to be gift cards? Aren't they more like mobile phone credits?
