          Yeah I mean once it's active, like there must be some motivation for registering 6 cards so I'm keen to get bargains too :)

        • haru on 13/09/2016 - 11:06

          Unless you live in the same area, my small shops will be different to yours so the bargains won't apply. As a start, my local Guzman y Gomez, pharmacy, produce, and fish shops are on the map so I'll be visiting them.

        • strawberrybug on 14/09/2016 - 14:54

          @haru: oh cool thanks. It's the first time I've signed up so I was just trying to get an idea but I'm in Sydney and it looks like everything is just in the CBD.

    Registered thanks. what's everyones tips for stores?

  • fomal on 13/09/2016 - 10:14

    emporium gift cards, here I come!

    • gadgetguy on 13/09/2016 - 10:30

      Emporium Melbourne? I thought those card have a fee.

      • fomal on 13/09/2016 - 10:32

        yep, cant remember how much exactly but I think $1.5.

        The good thing is you can use it for the next year, not limited to this weekend :)

        • 99altezza on 13/09/2016 - 10:52

          Is Emporium on the list?

        • gadgetguy on 13/09/2016 - 10:54

          I thought its $5 so a bit of a waste. And I'm not sure if is a "small shop".

        • fomal on 13/09/2016 - 11:03

          Actually, last time (may 2016) the gift cards purchases weren't a valid cashback transaction.

          I got the cashback on shop small November 2015, so still need to confirm this

  • theguyrules on 13/09/2016 - 11:13

    So we can only get cashback once per merchant (per card)?

  • Peck on 13/09/2016 - 11:21

    Lots are not showing up on the map, but when I put their name in the search, it then shows up. So try this for your favourites from last year.

    • piggyfund on 13/09/2016 - 11:31

      Do you think its just finding the business as it is a map but they aren't actually participating? Slim pickings in Melbourne CBD this year if this is the case.

      • Sharp on 13/09/2016 - 11:44
        +1

        My guess is Amex is purposely disguising some retailers in the map such as petrol stations and opal recharging newsagents. You can only find them if you know their actual names. Whether we get cashback from those disguised retailers is another question we'll all find it out on the weekend.

        • piggyfund on 13/09/2016 - 13:59

          When I search sushi about 10 'shops' come up and obviously there more than 10 in town so yeah .. a bit of a grey area, I searched other shops I was hoping would be on the list and it says 'not found' so will wait and see but looks promising. I always find these Amex offers confusing and follow up is needed.

      • bluesky on 13/09/2016 - 19:33

        You are probably right, from what Amex said.

    • jackofspade on 13/09/2016 - 12:04
      +10

      If you zoom in your area and click 'Redo search in this area' then more places will show up as blue dots.

      • folken on 13/09/2016 - 13:12
        +1

        Good find!

      • bluesky on 13/09/2016 - 18:37

        Yes, I was asking essentially the same question here. So if you click on "Redo search in this area", lots more places show as black dots. These are the ones which if you use the search box, put in the name, and they show. But they are not the balloons with a number, which corresponds to a store with details shown on the left pane.

        I was wondering if these places will be eligible for the shop small cashback. Any thoughts? Thanks.

        • jackofspade on 13/09/2016 - 18:49

          Yes, they are eligible. If you zoom in further and click redo search then the dots will turn into balloons.

        • bluesky on 13/09/2016 - 19:05

          @jackofspade: Hi, I rang Amex on this, pls see what they said for additional info. Yes, the ones that turn into balloons should be fine. Be careful of those that do not.

    • sintro on 13/09/2016 - 11:59

      there are hardly any shops on the map…
      Small shops or "Small number of shops"?

      • Dacs on 13/09/2016 - 12:22

        There are many thousands (unless you're in Whoop Whoop). See comments above.

      • [Deactivated] on 16/09/2016 - 13:44

        you need to tick the box in the right hand corner of the map then zoom into the suburb you want to shop in.

    According to the link, AMEX is picking up the bill, not the businesses.

    "We’re sending Card Members through your door with a spend $20, get $10 back offer — on us*"

      There are heaps in Perth. Bear in mind that the map server was (is) having capacity issues and kept stating no results found for a while. Wait a few mins and refresh the whole Page and results will start appearing again.

      • hypie on 13/09/2016 - 13:30

        Yeah went from 10 to 100 this time. Not bad, a few I could use.

        • Dacs on 13/09/2016 - 13:32

          Map will only show a maximum of 100 dots at a time. Zoom in to see all the shops in the area.

  • hamwhisperer on 13/09/2016 - 12:20

    Damnit I promised myself to get a few more AMEXs to solve the limit problem on this last time. I got a $240 Myki on this about a year back for $130 or so.

    • andy100 on 13/09/2016 - 12:30

      Do you mind to share where/which shop did you topup the Myki? Thanks.

      • hamwhisperer on 13/09/2016 - 12:48

        I can't recall, I made a map of it which was linked in one of the previous shop smart posts. I found about 11 stores but it is an old map now…

      There are a few places that I have not found on the Shop Small map this year:
      Metro Lane Cove
      City Convenience Store North Sydney
      EzyMart Waverton

      These places are confirmed on the Shop Small map:
      Nextra Newsagency, Chatswood Westfield
      Convenience at the Cove, 116 Longueville Road Lane Cove
      Neutral Bay Newsagency, 6 Young Street Neutral Bay

      St James Pharmacy refused to do Opal topups last time.

      I have no comment on the other locations.

          That's what roughana just said…

  • bluesky on 13/09/2016 - 19:00

    I just spoke with Amex, and was told this info, so I thought I will share it. It is the question which I asked here.
    In the Shop Small map, if you click on "Redo Search In this Area", you will get lots of places with black dots. And you will also get balloons with numbers which correspond to store names/details on the left pane.

    • the balloons, Amex and we know for sure will participate in the shop small cashback.
    • black dots - (if they do not turn into balloons upon zoom) are places that accept Amex, but may or may not participate. If they participate, they will have a logo given by Amex, to this effect, displayed at the store.

    So to be sure, if it is simply a place marked with black dot, best if you ring first, before going. Or make sure you see the logo about the "shop small" participation in store. Otherwise, it may not be part of "shop small".

    • sintro on 13/09/2016 - 20:57

      WTF?

      From what I can see the balloon with the numbers are the 10 shops that are currently listed on the left. When you click on the next page for the next 10, 10 new balloon with numbers show up and the ones that were previously ballons are now black dots!

      • bluesky on 13/09/2016 - 20:58
        +1

        If they can turn to balloons, you will be fine. There are some dots that just won't turn to balloons. Those are the ones to be aware of. Anyway, I find if you move to the black dots and click on them, sometimes, they show as light blue balloons. Again, I interpret that as fine.

        • sintro on 13/09/2016 - 20:59

          was the card eligible for the offer? seems odd that if the card was registered for the offer and used at a registered store that amex wouldn't honour it? they're usually good like that. maybe push a little harder for free $10 credit

        The ones I went to in the cbd are still there. Just match it up.

        I bet they are hiding because they don't want to do multiple opal recharges.
