        Use your card in Brisbane. :) for other things.

      • virhlpool on 17/09/2016 - 11:03

        Or ask someone to use it in Sydney for Opal for you. They can always enter the card number instead of tap.

    • bluedufflecoat on 23/08/2016 - 20:53

      There have been shops that trade online that will still qualify for shop small.

          I've ordered flowers before from a shop in Canberra.

          I think a footy merchandise shop in North Melbourne, also had online sales and they were listed on the shop small merchants late last year?

      I posted this below but you can consider donating to charity.
      There is a list floating around with charities that work for shop small and depending on your marginal tax rate, you could literally be donating $2-3 real word money for every $20 the charity gets :)

    Last time round 3 of 4 the listed stores I went to told me they did not accept the Amex card. One even had a handwritten sign displayed at the cash register. Did not bother going to any more stores after that.

    Hoping for better results this time. Did not have this experience with the previous 2 November Shop Small promos.

    • King Steuart on 23/08/2016 - 20:48

      Yep I had this issue at a nursery. My local music store also doesn't accept AMEX but has one of those AMEX OPEN/CLOSED signs on its door.

      • Elijha on 25/08/2016 - 15:09

          Yeah there is probably a fine print next to Amex "is not accepted here".

    • TrailerTrash on 23/08/2016 - 20:50

      Got this a bit last time round but just pay-waved my AMEX and the cashier was none the wiser! Got my $10 credit emails instantly too!

      I'd call their bluff. They've signed up for Amex, they've been added to the Shop Small listing and probably have a Shop Small sticker on their front window.. worth a shot!

      • spacecowboy on 24/08/2016 - 09:40

        I tried this at the cafe & card was declined on their eftpos device.

    • Dacs on 23/08/2016 - 20:54

      Other people have reported that Amex will still honour the statement credit if had to use another credit card and contact Amex customer service to let them know.

      • King Steuart on 23/08/2016 - 20:56

        Other people, not me. I contacted AMEX via e-mail and got no response. Couldn't be bothered calling for $10.

      • spacecowboy on 23/08/2016 - 20:58
        +1

        The 2nd & 3rd time it happened I just walked out of the store. First one was a cafe & we'd already eaten (doh!) so had to pay. EDIT: Kept receipt but never bother to email Amex for the $10. Too pissed off with the overall experience.

        In Novembers promo I did call Amex up about same problem, & they reimbursed my account the $10.

      • Bunnycat on 23/08/2016 - 23:33
        +1

        I found Amex remarkably helpful in issuing me $10 credits for stores that didn't accept my card. Bit of a pain, but hardly amex's fault.

        • spacecowboy on 24/08/2016 - 09:38
          +8

          It is Amex's map. I searched it to find participating stores. When 3 of 4 stores tell me they don't take Amex I conclude the map is wrong.

    • T-man on 23/08/2016 - 23:16
      +2

      I reported them to Amex immediately and they credited the money back to my Amex account manually. I never go to those stores again.

    • neonlight on 24/08/2016 - 07:56

      I agree. Either THAT or they slug a surcharge which means less of a bargain or impose minimum opal recharge for $40

    If you can find some local bottle shops on the list these shop small offers are great for grabbing 6 packs of craft beers.

    • IMadeYouReadThis on 23/08/2016 - 20:51
      -2

      Good idea but doesn't work for me. I prefer buying 24 packs to get the best possible value for money. If you are using this deal for 6 pack beer, I guess you are not losing (or saving) any money at all.

      • bluedufflecoat on 23/08/2016 - 20:55
        +5

        Pay over two or three transactions with different Amex cards?

      • herbo on 23/08/2016 - 21:13

        Last time round I picked up 6 packs of stuff like Two Birds, Mornington Peninsula and others. It's a good way to try new beers and the 6 packs work out about $11 to $13, multiply that by four and you're well under the normal 24 pack price for these.

        • spacecowboy on 23/08/2016 - 21:25

          Last time went to an indie liquor store where I got a case of Italian brewed Nastro Azzurro in Novembers SS. Now they stock the 'made under license' aussie version :(

          I chose a couple of craft six packs instead, & cashier told me they don't take Amex card. WTF??

    • morrisoc on 24/08/2016 - 12:04

      These guys opened in Mitcham Victoria recently, they take AMEX with no min or surcharge and a have a excellent selection of craft beers. Will be hitting it hard for this promo :)

    Guys make sure that you check the shop in the small shop map first to ensure that its a qualifying shop. Do not simply do Opal top-ups from the NewsAgency based on your past experience. I learned it hard way last time when I topped up my Opal using my old list of Small Shop and didn't get cash back for at least 6 out of 10 transactions.

    • King Steuart on 23/08/2016 - 20:57

      Every store I've previously got it from is not on this time. Hairhouse warehouse, a couple of pet supplies store, a toy store… it's like a completely different list of stores this time!

    • shuffle1 on 23/08/2016 - 21:23

      That happened to me at world square newsagency. The guy at the counter definitely knew about the promotion but I never got the email or credit. Checked later and they weren't on the map anymore even though they were last time.

      • Jared17 on 25/08/2016 - 07:03

        Same here. Never got the email. Checked and realized they were not listed anymore. Nevertheless I gave it a shot and called Amex. was told to wait for another month in case it was delayed. Called 6 weeks later and got the cash back.

  • King Steuart on 23/08/2016 - 20:56

      Don't worry about signing in. You can't sign up until the 13th of Sep.

      I made the same mistake.

      On the day, just sign into your account on americanexpress.com and it should be under your offers tab.

    Remember everyone, if you don't have anything in particular to spend it on (like me last year) then put it towards some charities.
    I know that there was a list floating around of about 10 charities that are valid for Shop Small.

    I was able to donate $100 last year between my two Amex's.
    Cost to me $50.
    Tax deduct $100 x 0.325
    Real cost $17.50 to me and charities got $100! :)

      Can confirm Lucky Charm newsagent in the downstairs foodcourt at Corner of Elizabeth/Park/Castlereagh St works, $1 fee.

      Lucky Charm Centrepoint (Shop 2017a, Westfield, 188 Pitt St) should be good too.

          Thank you for shopping small using your registered Card ending in **** at THE LUCKY CHARM FOODBASE.
          Your $10 credit should be in your account within five business days upon completion of your eligible transaction.

    Maybe Amex use this opportunity to let us do the compliance work with small shops for it, as small shops are more likely to breach their agreement with Amex.

      Plenty of free AMEX options out there…

    • bluedufflecoat on 24/08/2016 - 08:37

      what the Kapt said.

      Apply for a free Amex like the Qantas Discovery. It's likely they will do the month-long shop small campaign in November, so if you get it now, you would probably get to qualify for the September AND November shop small campaigns.

      Disclaimer: I'm not giving financial advice. :)

      And if you are not sure which free Amex card, my recent comment provides comparative info on them.
