        Might give amex chat a go then

        • Yola on 22/11/2019 - 18:36

          And you can cut and paste a copy of the conversation.

    • Jared17 on 22/11/2019 - 16:04

      I had no issue with them. But the local chat was disappointing

    • shortgum on 23/11/2019 - 23:41

      amex chat experience is a hit and miss

      i find you may get more better experience non local centre response. however chance you need follow up calls to confirm getting your credits or charges sort out.

      local are relative little more arrogant attitude towards handling customers. sometimes you can hear from the accent. however again, some rare case is different

  • oringal on 23/11/2019 - 13:03

    Pyrmont bridge convenience store (19 Pyrmont Bridge Rd, Camperdown NSW 2050), $1 surcharge

    3 more shops to add in Western Sydney for Opal Top Up

    St Marys NEWSAGENCY- No surcharge

    Kingswood NEWSAGENCY- No surcharge

    Rooty Hill NEWSAGENCY- No surcharge

    • Neoika on 24/11/2019 - 17:58

      All OK with multiple cards today. Thanks for sharing them.

      • Ash-Say on 25/11/2019 - 08:06

        No worries

        Mount Druitt newsagency is also listed but they don't do Opal top ups.

        • currentfad on 29/11/2019 - 11:14

          Just to add to this St Martin's Newsagency in Blacktown also does not do topups on Amex although they are on the small shop list

    An update, Pinewood newsagency does not accept Amex for miki top up.

    • raiseyoursteaks on 27/11/2019 - 07:31

      Wow really. I managed to get 4 in early Nov.

  • ChaseTheSun on 24/11/2019 - 22:23

    Done my myki Melbourne run:

    1. Wattle park pharmacy (Amcal) 1123 Riversdale Rd Surrey Hills
    2. Armadale Mini Mart (IGA Exress) Corner of High St and Orrong Road Armadale
    3. Prahran Central Pharmacy 229 Commercial Road South Yarra
    4. Prahran Convenience 196 Commercial Rd Prahran
    5. The Summit - southbank

    All were without issues, no fuss, no surcharges. surprisingly efficient and quick.

    Only one that wasnt correct on the wiki was Pinewood, as reported by others - they didnt accept amex for myki topups.

  • oringal on 25/11/2019 - 07:45

    Coogee village newsagency (180 Coogee Bay Rd, Coogee NSW 2034) 3% surcharge (60c) for opal top-up

  • zzyss on 25/11/2019 - 09:40

    Newspower Go in Top Ryde City shopping centre has iTunes gift vouchers through their ePay terminal (and other gift cards in general) and happily accept Amex/Shop Small with 4% surcharge.

    Apparently the physical cards with withdrawn for some reason. The woman working there was nice but she didn't know how to work the ePay. The man was very amiable and helpful.

    So that's me setup for discounted Netflix and Disney+ for the following year.

    Nextra in Chatswood only charged 2% surcharge as opposed to 5% in previous years and as stated in the wiki.

      is that the Westfield's one or the chase one?

      • uggugg on 26/11/2019 - 12:59

        Sorry should have stated. It’s Westfield.

        • bashar20 on 28/11/2019 - 07:16

          Thanks. I did top up there.
          What about nextra chase. Did you try your going there too?

          • uggugg on 29/11/2019 - 12:01

            @bashar20: No I already maxed out my 5 allotments.

            • bashar20 on 29/11/2019 - 16:40

              @uggugg: I maxed up today utilising the Roseville and Lindfield ones.

              • ihbh on 05/12/2019 - 08:18

                @bashar20: Are there Nextras in Roseville and Lindfield?

                • bashar20 on 05/12/2019 - 14:43

                  @ihbh: I meant newsagents there.

                  • ihbh on 05/12/2019 - 14:57

                    @bashar20: Good to know they are small shops. Did you get it from the spreadsheet or map?

                    • bashar20 on 06/12/2019 - 11:11

                      @ihbh: Comments on OZB. Roseville just outside station. Lindfield inside station as you go up stairs.

    Today I received a manual adjustment credit of $10 from Amex.

    Description was Dummy Level 8/Hierarchy Re-Structure.

      What a coincidence. I got a similar performance review feedback today

    Did not receive an email nor a credit for a place listed on Shop Small and confirmed in the Wiki as a GoCard top up.

    On checking the Amex site the Shop Small offer has disappeared as a Saved Offer from the cards. I'm not sure that this is the problem as it seems to have disappeared from all cards.

    I guess this requires an Amex chat to sort out.

      I guess this requires an Amex chat to sort out.

      I talked to AMEX chat and they confirmed my offer was still valid and I had 3 more to go even though all traces of it had left the Offer areas.

    • gizzard on 28/11/2019 - 17:12

      An update on Myer News for topping up the Go Card, the credit took three days to come through and the email never arrived indicating a successful Shop Small.

  • raiseyoursteaks on 27/11/2019 - 07:36

    Elizabeth Pharmacy on Elizabeth Street, Melbourne also accepts Myki top ups with Amex, charges $0.50 per $20. 9Ok with multiple top ups.

    Myki top up at Press and Grocers (Central Park Newsagency) - 393 Wattletree Road, Malvern East.
    No surcharge. Multiple cards.

    Also sell iTunes gift cards.

    • strawberrybug on 29/11/2019 - 14:08

      did you get the credit for this one? It's not on the official map so just wondering

      • Melbournian on 29/11/2019 - 15:52

        Initially it wasn’t on the map.
        I contacted Amex and they have manually processed the credits.
        The have now included the merchant on the map.

  • ozzbargainer on 28/11/2019 - 10:45

    Did my opal top-up @ Darling Harbour View Convenience Store in Lime St, Sydney next to City Cellars… Multiple cards and no surcharge, received confirmation emails

          • SnoozeAndLose on 28/11/2019 - 20:05

            @airpoe: Which one? The one on corner Liverpool Street and Pitt Street?

            • airpoe on 28/11/2019 - 20:58

              @SnoozeAndLose: Yes, the big corner one

              • SnoozeAndLose on 28/11/2019 - 21:00

                @airpoe: I said 525 and 614 George Street and you are referring to Pitt Street one. Just walk another min or two to those shops I said.

      Did you go to Lime or Erskine St? Lady in Erskine St said $2 surcharge but Lime st no surcharge, same store though

      • donamique on 28/11/2019 - 20:57

        i think you’re right. I was at the erskine street shop. Like daylight robbery.

  • jjj123 on 28/11/2019 - 11:25

    what about i swipe the card on 29/Nov and 30/Nov, transaction will be pending until December, does this count?

      Pretty sure they dropped off last year. Wasn't game to check then, but good luck!

      • SydneySwan on 29/11/2019 - 10:58

        I contacted Amex on chat. They are listed in the spreadsheet but don't currently appear on the map. The city outlets do appear on the map. Amex said there was an issue with the way Yayoi in Chatswood were registered and said they would make a manual credit.

    For Myki topup

    My mom tried to use her DJ AMEX card (Shop Small offer saved in the card)
    at the Laurent Bakery at the Glen Shopping centre, in Melbourne.
    But the staff said that their credit card terminal does not accept DJ AMEX cards ?!

    Has anyone had problems having their DJ cards accepted ?
    I went to the same bakery a few weeks earlier and had no problems using my Velocity Platinum AMEX card.

      I used my Amex Reserve Card at the Laurent Bakery (@ the Glen) during 2019 shop small, there was no issue - I even got the $10 back. Surely this is a misunderstanding, ask your mom to contact Amex and explain the situation and they may credit the $10. I have done this in 2018 shop small where I had a similar encounter.

  • RHSteven on 11/12/2019 - 16:05

    Should i pay these shop small spends with points as 30% off.

    • DrRalph on 11/12/2019 - 16:06

      Got the same offer. Funny stuff from AMEX!

    • neil on 11/12/2019 - 16:14

      15,310 points equals $100 off Shop Small Merchants.
      20,000 points gets you a $100 Amazon, Coles etc. gift card.

      I think if you are into the Frequent Flyer game then that's still probably better value.

      • RHSteven on 11/12/2019 - 16:47

        So i should still leave it for QFF…
