For the past five years, AMEX has run a promotion called “Small Business Saturday” two days after Thanksgiving. For every AMEX credit card you have, you can receive up to $30 in free spend. You had to register your cards and then find any local business around you via AMEX’s Small Business Saturday map.
For every $10 you spend, you receive a $10 statement credit – up to $30, per AMEX card. Have a spouse with an authorized user card? Those are eligible too! The easiest thing to do is purchase $10 gift cards. NSPwife and I racked up 100’s of dollars in “free” gift cards at our local wine shop:
