RWRDS Daily Update Oct 2: New Amex Shop Small offers provides up to $50 in statement credits

Here’s your RWRDS Canada update! Your near daily dose of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more.

New Amex Shop Small offers provides up to $50 in statement credits

There is another version of Amex’s Shop Small that was released this week. Select consumer and small business cardmembers are receiving an offer to earn $5 each time they spend $10 or more at an eligible Shop Small merchant until November 30. The bonus can be earned up to 10x for $50 in statement credits. This offer is limited to the first 25,000 cards that register for it.

Personally I did not receive this offer on any of my cards probably because I am already registered for the earlier version that came out in August and also runs until November 30.

If you are not familiar with American Express’ Shop Small merchants we have a feature to help you out: A step by step guide to the American Express Shop Small Program which shows you how to find merchants who participate in the program.

Let us know if you have been targeted for this offer and even more so if you have received this offer in addition to the earlier offer!
