          Complained to amex about a store doing something potentially against the law. Not sure exactly what amex can do… the whole reason the airlines changed their fixed $ surcharges were because it’s against the law.

    • henestto on 01/11/2017 - 17:04

      King of the Pack (888 Wholly Tobacconist) Shop 26/ 61 Oxford St Sydney - still 1% surcharge
      City Convenience 136 Castlereagh St Sydney - 2.5% surcharge

      could anything above 3% be illegal now?

      • tanoshiiki on 01/11/2017 - 20:46

        I guess it depends on how much it costs to process for a business. If a business was mostly small transaction based, the % might be higher to cover the fixed-base fee.

    • aztecian on 02/11/2017 - 00:10

      whereabouts is Allied Mart? 389 Pitt st seems to be Rydges hotel? Also it doesn't show up on this year's map

        Its the corner of Liverpool and Pitt st, the old City Mart - now renamed to Allied Mart. Its showing up on the map under their old name.

        Its 379 Pitt - sorry! typo

    • kyeh on 02/11/2017 - 14:00

      Darling Park (201 Sussex Street) - 2.5% surcharge

      This place only accepts AMEX where you have the physical card :( i tried to pay with my apple watch and they rejected it!

          Yeah, they were using suncorp terminals.

    A warning to those using amcal chemists

    the cream I was looking for was $17.99 at amcal
    $11.99 at woolworths
    and $10 at Kmart,

    Struggled to spend $20 at amcal

    • jasonb on 01/11/2017 - 19:14

      Stock up on toothpaste.

      I'll need to get a bit more than last year this time around, last year's shop small haul only lasted me until August.

    • mmd on 02/11/2017 - 14:11

      I'm stocking up on household essentials at Amcal. Last year, i bought Quilton for $2.50 a pack

    • [Deactivated] on 05/11/2017 - 15:29

      Amcal is a waste of Shop Small if buying items at regular prices. Even their specials can be everyday prices for discount chemists.

      There are several chains of discount chemists participating in Shop Small. Most of them are franchises so you can hit several stores. Personally, I'm waiting to see if Cincotta release a catalogue this month. Last Shop Small they were selling Claratyne 60 tabs for $20.

      • Samsungnote10 on 05/11/2017 - 16:30

        I in Vic but can't seem to find any franchise chemist's in the list.
        They all seem independant

  • anna10 on 01/11/2017 - 18:48

    I rego’d DJs AMEX and got a confirmation, spent at a nominated business today, but no email confirmation or refund showing. Anyone else tried a DJs AMEX card yet?

    • jasonb on 01/11/2017 - 19:16
      +1

      Email confirmations are flaky at best.

      You won't see the credit until the day after the transaction posts. Which won't have happened yet (it will still be pending in your online services/app) if you made the purchase today.

    • Samsungnote10 on 01/11/2017 - 19:17

      In my experience with statement credits.
      Yes different to shop small
      But they generally email. Instantly.

      That's been my experience
      Ezcept for the dimmi ones. Which took days

    • kerfuffle on 01/11/2017 - 19:36

      Yes; paid for my dinner tonight with my DJs AMEX on Android Pay and got the e-mail confirmation immediately.

  • aztecian on 01/11/2017 - 21:27

    CITY CONVENIENCE STORE 173-179 BROADWAY , ULTIMO; Opal top up cash only not accepting Amex. I told the owner "you're losing business big time" Anyone knows how much commission they get from opal top up?

    • shortgum on 01/11/2017 - 22:46

      But why challenge the owner? just walk away peacefully and report to amex if bothered. challenge them make them even more arrogant in result, unless your case is really bad that they piss you off too much

      Very small, apparently:

      "newsagents are paid a commission of only 23 cents for a $10 top up and 45 cents for a $20 top up"

  • arctan on 01/11/2017 - 22:57

    Anyone tried Sushi Hub? Is it part of shop small? It has Amex cash back spend $20 and get $10 back, combine with shop small you get another $10 back from Amex. Free $20 worth of sushi from Sushi Hub!

    • SydneySwan on 01/11/2017 - 23:07

      This has been discussed upthread. It is not yet clear if Sushi Hub are part of SS or not. I tried at QVB and did not receive SS email.

      • aztecian on 01/11/2017 - 23:20

        Works at 815 George st, just had my free sushi dinner tonight. That's the only Sushi Hub that you can double dip!

        • arctan on 02/11/2017 - 07:53

          Any other sushi hub place we can do this in Sydney cbd?

          @arctan: unfortunately not

      Went into to get an opal recharge. Must have accidently flashed my AMEX. Guy says the Opal Machine is down. Yeah right, these machines go down that easily. Looks like the prick unplugged it.

      Sushi Hub has completely vanished now. 815 George St in the City showed last night - not there now.

    • RtN on 02/11/2017 - 11:26

      Yes… I spent at one this morning unknowingly and tried to find it on the map…. I got the credit email but it's not showing on AMEX map…

      So basically is it any shop that is obviously not a huge operation that accepts AMEX?

      • orangeblossom on 02/11/2017 - 11:34

        I am planning to go to sushi hub later today. Are you still getting the shop small credit email even though the shop has dissapeared from the map ?

      • RtN on 02/11/2017 - 11:36

        Should clarify "spent at one" being spent at a store accepting AMEX, not a sushi hub.

    • zzyss on 02/11/2017 - 13:10

      It still was a few weeks ago when thydzik pulled together his list…

      • [Deactivated] on 02/11/2017 - 14:10

        zumbo stores were on the map yesterday. i'm guessing they were pulled because another offer was stacking.

        • rogsamsy on 02/11/2017 - 16:48

        • [Deactivated] on 02/11/2017 - 19:16

          @rogsamsy: were you also registered for the $10 spend/$5 rebate zumbo offer?

        • rogsamsy on 02/11/2017 - 19:31

        • [Deactivated] on 03/11/2017 - 12:26

        • rogsamsy on 03/11/2017 - 12:38

          @tveye: I received an email for 2 $10 credits. 1 for shop small and 1 I can only assume for both Zumbo $5 credits put together.

          @rogsamsy: I just bought at Zumbo QVB this evening and also received 2 emails mentioning $10 credits, assuming 1 from shop small & 1 from Zumbo offer

        • SydneySwan on 03/11/2017 - 19:34

          @SydneySwan: Yeh that's what I thought so I was pleasantly surprised when the Zumbo email stated $10 credit, must be because I spent $20 so 2 x $10 purchase each, $5 back up to 2 times was the offer as an above poster mentioned

        • Nanigugu on 04/11/2017 - 11:19

          @SydneySwan:

          May be a problem with the Chatswood store? I had to ring to get my 2nd $5 applied manually. I got the first one ok but they seemed to have changed the merchant name since then.

    Topped up my Opal card at Darling Harbour View Convenience Store (7 Erskine Street, Sydney). Google Maps has the address as 24-26 Erskine Street, which is incorrect.

    Surcharge $0.50 per credit card.

          Told him that it was 50c a few days ago but he wouldn't bulge and showed me a handwritten note (presumably by the manager).

    • strawberrybug on 03/11/2017 - 19:16

      I went this arvo at about 3.30pm and paid 50cent surchage for each card, not sure where the $2 came from. how annoying!

      I also went to Darling Park newsagency, 50 cent surchage but each card needs a pin, they cant paypass (not sure why, annoying).

      Got emails for both

      • kerfuffle on 03/11/2017 - 20:33

          true! they charge about $5 for a 125g bag of lollies so I guess the profits aren't going towards the POS systems

    Probably repeating what others have said, but can't hurt to confirm emails from the following in Sydney:

    King of the Pack (888 Wholly Tobacconist) - Shop 26/ 61 Oxford St - 1% surcharge
    Allied Mart - 389 Pitt Street - 1.5% surcharge
    Oxford St Newsagency - 1/18-32 Oxford St - 1% surcharge

    Other than these, has anyone found places that charge 1.5% or under in the same area (near Wynyard or Town Hall) + email confirmation?

        Well, with some people having 20+ cards, and more people signing up to AmEx in 2017 (courtesy of ANZ, NAB etc scrapping their partnerships), it makes sense that more cards are being enrolled hence it going faster.
        Just thinking - 100,000 cards, $50 total rebate each, that's… $5 million! Wow that's huge, but still not even a drop in the ocean for a large international multinational corporation like AmEx :)

    Am finding good value in small local bottle shops

    So if a 40 dollar slab costs 45
    As long as you can split it into two payments.
    That's a 40 dollar slab at Dans for 25 after two credits.

    Good enough for me

    • 51ngh on 03/11/2017 - 03:29

    Have updated the Opal Wiki & Google Maps. Keep the comments coming about all your successful (or unsuccessful) top-ups. Some surcharges get raised the further into the promotion.

    Also any Myki updated but only 1 updated entry for this year.
