      Just in case you missed it, here is GnarlyKnuckles post - to collect together the problems with the map, to be communicated to Amex. Hopefully they will fix it before next campaign. Also, a request to just provide a list of all places.

    • thebargainhunter on 21/09/2016 - 12:33

      Also need to fix participating businesses - I tried to use it at a restaurant and they said they didn't accept Amex (despite a sticker on the door)

          @Dacs:

          Cool. Keep in mind the wiki uses Dokuwiki formatting whereas pages use markdown. Best to use a converter from a spreadsheet or a site that converts the code. I used a spreadsheet (with some formulas) then used table generator to output to markdown.

        • Dacs on 20/09/2016 - 14:08

          @neil: Thanks for the linnk. I made the table manually and it's okay but the generator could be useful in future.

      So you can open another one and get extra referral points? ;)

  • mike-77 on 19/09/2016 - 21:35

    Is that correct do supplementary cards allow another 10 transactions?

    • bluedufflecoat on 19/09/2016 - 21:42

      As long as they have a different card number and signed up separately to the campaign.

      • mike-77 on 19/09/2016 - 21:44

        Well that makes November an even bigger challenge :)

        • bluedufflecoat on 19/09/2016 - 22:27

          You have a month to get through the 10 transactions, not 3 days like the last campaign.

        • TheBargainShopper on 09/11/2016 - 10:30

          @t25, @bluedufflecoat: Is that right? I can't go to a store I used with my main card with my supplementary card to get another $10 back?

        • t25 on 09/11/2016 - 11:12

          @chey: From my understanding, one card per store. But no one has corrected me to say otherwise, just a couple of negs. So I am assuming I'm wrong.

          As for your supp card, I am guessing if they have the same numbers you are out of luck.

          +2

          @chey:

          If your supplementary card has the same card number, then you can only use it once. If it is a different number, and you have registered both cards separately, then you can use each card at the same store and get a statement credit for each one.

        • TheBargainShopper on 09/11/2016 - 13:37

      Yes

        Even at the same retailers? So can I get $10 back twice if I use my main card and my supplementary card at the same retailer?

      Only if they have different card numbers to the primary card, and if you have registered each one separately on the Amex website.

    I went to a local fruit and veg store on Sunday to take advantage of the Shop Small promo (16-18 Sept). The store was listed on the AMEX website as participating in the promo.
    When I went to pay, the cashier told me the store didn't accept AMEX.

    • Choc83 on 19/09/2016 - 23:44

      Cover the AMEX logo with your thumb, like another poster suggested here.
      Paste a mastercard logo over the Amex one
      Get really adept at inserting the card and entering your PIN really fast.
      Never let anyone touch your credit card

          "Hello AMEX this is Turd speaking. This shop didn't accept my card even though it's listed on your website."

          "So sorry about that Mr Turd. We will credit $10 to your account."

          "SHIT YEAH"

        • lplau on 20/09/2016 - 13:29

          @uggugg: Note they may also ask you for the receipt as proof of purchase.

        • zzyss on 03/11/2016 - 14:46

          @lplau:

          I've done this about 2-3 times and never had to. But others have had to, so I guess it's a gamble. But if you legit purchased using another card, there should be no problem!

    • tzar on 20/09/2016 - 08:33

      I had that problem at a cafe - contacted AMEX through their secure mail with the shop details and got the credit anyway. They also told me that all the shops on the map had agreed to be a part of the promotion

        +1

        a head up for ppl try contact amex to get $10 credit back. Don't treat this method is a guarantee way to get your credit. I have done this before since last few shopsmall now. most case you get a credit but sometime you will get a miss.

        Just did this today with river cat convience parramatta store, call up amex and the guy refuse to credit it as he mention amex not account for the responsibility if they not able to take the card and you pay with a different method. he mention we will take your feedback but the guy refuse to credit a $10 and as mention it happens to me before.

        Chance is most amex customer service ppl are generally happy to keep customer cheer to credit them, but some may have a bad day or you just hit a shit person no willing to credit you

        • t25 on 25/09/2016 - 12:44

          hang up and try again? speak to someone higher up?

          but may not be worth it for $10.

    • Scumbag on 20/09/2016 - 08:36
      +1

      Similar here. I stuck the card in the machine and it didn't accept it. He said AMEX wasn't supported.

      I've got no idea how they made their list of retailers.

      • Choc83 on 20/09/2016 - 15:50

        I walked into a different retailer on Sunday, WITH an amex logo on the door. Went to top up my Myki, got told by the shop girl that "Oh, we don't do Amex for myki"

        Bullsh!t you do!

        I'm going back there with my modified "mastercard" in November

        • roughana on 20/09/2016 - 16:45

          The reason they said that is because they don't get enough profit out of the Myki/Opal sale to cover the merchant fee. The alternative is to offer to pay a surcharge so the merchant does not lose on the deal.

        • Choc83 on 20/09/2016 - 16:53

          @roughana: Well I've happily paid up to $1 in the past to cover their costs, particularly when I know there's $9 heading back my way. It's just disingenuous of them to not allow it altogether.

          I had a similar experience in a cafe - Paying with PIN (amex logo obscured by thumb), being told them didn't take AMEX despite the machine popping up with "Approved" - and a success email to boot!

        • Baghern on 03/11/2016 - 14:20

          @BadMotivator:

          I think its more due to the surcharge being a manual process, people/employees forget.

          I wasn't given any surcharge at one place some kid behind the register, went back two days later with my other card (forgot first time)… and the store owner was adamant no AMEX

          Too much effort I guess.

          As to why they're under AMEX small stores, I presume they've just been hoodwinked well by AMEX marketing.

          Or they were given small incentives which they took, with no presumption to service or the incentives didn't match the costs.

          If you're a small business owner and someone comes in and offers you something that you think won't cost you or will help you, you take it. Reality is always diff from sales pitch.

          @grasstown: Last one I got I just clicked the get supplementary card option from the Amex account page. Put in the name I wanted on the card and it arrived in the mail a few days later.
          The first couple I got over the phone and I said to the dude I wanna get separate cards so I can track my expenditure and he was like whatever doesn't matter why, we just send them.
          Pro tip, use variations on your name ie Initial and name, Name and middle initial etc to help you track the different cards.
