    Got imposed a surcharge at Nextra Chatswood; 5% or $1 for $20 Opal top up

    Some Chinese couple in front of me had at LEAST half a dozen AMEX cards between them as they topped up their Opal card(s) …

        And that's why Chinese are buying property all over Sydney. They make use of deals and are able to afford property. Is that right?

  • SomeGuyOnOzB on 16/09/2016 - 15:14

    What's the process, when a payment hasn't been picked up?

    • SimbaGirl on 16/09/2016 - 15:24
      +1

      What do you mean "picked up"? That you didn't receive a confirmation email after a purchase?

      If it's just that the confirmation email hasn't come through, this is quite common and there's no point in contacting Amex yet - usually happens to me on several purchases during any Shop Small promotion (I was quite surprised to receive emails for all 3 purchases this morning LOL) but the credits have always come through within 4-5 days at the most. If the credit doesn't come through after that time frame, then contact Amex to chase it up and as gimme said, they're usually pretty good about sorting it out.

    • gimme on 16/09/2016 - 15:26
      +3

      Email the through 'securemail' and they'll fix it. In most cases they are very helpful you'll get the credit. Just be polite and don't act self-entitled. That's what I do anyway.

      • SomeGuyOnOzB on 16/09/2016 - 15:28

        Aye, sorry, I meant to ask more politely … I was multi-tasking while typing

          No you were fine. I meant be courteous when you email them. I've been credited for vendor that aren't on the list by just asking nicely :)

    My go to place for shopsmall is Prahran market in Melbourne. I went there today and got emails right away from Reliable Fruit, Gary's meat and Cleo's deli. I wanted to buy a pan at Essential Ingredient there and they were not on the list but I thought I would chance it…bingo! got the email. Just goes to show that the map is very unreliable. No email from the pasta place in the market that was plastered with shop small signs. I also got a book at Books in Print in Malvern and more deli stuff from Bambra Deli in South Caulfield so those are all proven.

    • ruski23 on 16/09/2016 - 16:51

      Might try it at Essential Ingredient in Rozelle (NSW) tomorrow morning then! thanks for the heads up

    • Iwantthatbargain on 16/09/2016 - 17:42

        Its true. the one on george street wynyard had $2 surcharge. Went to the one on carrington street which is close to it.
        Hope that helps for those who are doing their last minute shopsmalling

    • illumination on 17/09/2016 - 22:46

      EZYMART 58 Pitt St also decided to increase their surcharge to $2, and the person there is pretty stern/rude. Insists on only doing 1 card per person. Apparently he is the boss too (French accented guy).

      Someone else also mentioned 23 Rawson Place Haymarket - they also increased their surcharge to $2. Decided not to do it.

      300 George St (24 hours) surcharged $1 and worked well for me earlier today (flyingfox - what time did you go?)

      Also did EZYMART 14 Carrington Street (closes at 12am, I think he said) at $1 surcharge and that worked well too.

      Decided to roll the die and do one transaction at Quay Newsagency which used to be part of Shop Small, has the logo outside their shop, but was not on the map this year. Didn't get the email, so I only did one and stopped.

      Also did EZYMART 770 George Street (24 hours) $1 surcharge.

      edit: Sorry, that was a bit messy.

      TLDR:

      EZYMART 14 Carrington Street - got email, $1 surcharge, able to PayPass, close at 12am (or 10pm - forgot, sorry)
      EZYMART 300 George Street - got email, $1 surcharge, able to PayPass, 24 hours (however, people say they've increased surcharge to $2)
      EZYMART 770 George Street - got email, $1 surcharge, not able to PayPass, 24 hours

      All done between 5-9pm today.

      • verisimilitude on 19/09/2016 - 00:49

      That's disappointing, I had two shops this afternoon refuse Amex even though they're on the shop small list. Even offered to pay a surcharge at one of them and she still refused. Guess not all these shops are interested in increased patronage.

      • t25 on 19/09/2016 - 09:54

      You need to register for shop small with both cards (go to switch cards in Amex connect) and they need to have different card numbers.

        • lisamay on 17/09/2016 - 11:26

          Just go to menu & 'switch card', then register for the offer again with the new card. If you haven't registered the new card go to 'add card' first.

        • virhlpool on 17/09/2016 - 11:33

          @lisamay: Whoa.. I had added the additional card to my online account but the system needs its separate registration (username and pw) to make it eligible for offers, which I did now and it works. I can now save offers on both cards using their individual accounts.

          Convenience stores had inflated prices, don't accept all cards and have limited hours. Such an irony, they are still called 'convenience stores'.

        If spend is more than $10, it doesn't suck. Otherwise it does.

    For those in Brisbane

    Go to Garden City and recharge your go cards!

    I topped up my go card at Nextra on the bottom floor and Nextra on the top floor successfully, got two Amex emails within 10 mins saying $10CR is on its way.

    Go card charged in Brisbane yesterday. Received an email for Qantas card but not for bank issued card.
    Please call before going, as I am not sure whether they are open on weekends.
