    Thanks! Will have to check map, but have registered 4 x Amex cards so will see how I go maximizing the rebates!

    Anyone found any other places around Sydney for 'everyday' spending? Cincotta Chemist in Sydney seems to be on the list …

    I'm interested in hearing about other similar places, eg Fuel, but not opal top ups.

    • virhlpool on 26/10/2016 - 23:22

      There are heaps of chemists on list. Is Cincotta Chemist any different in terms of what they sell?

      • [Deactivated] on 27/10/2016 - 00:01

        Cincotta is reasonably priced and will price match chemist warehouse/woolworths/coles easily, so its a good option for everyday items on shop small.

        For prescription drugs above the PBS threshold it probably doesn't make a difference.

    Awesome, I'm out of town right now, but can someone find the post from about a year back, with my myki map on it?
    I'd do it but I'm on my iPad. I'd love to top another 200 up for only 100,…..

    • neil on 27/10/2016 - 11:53

      It's all in the wiki linked in the description.

      Map.

      • hamwhisperer on 27/10/2016 - 12:12

        Don't quote me, but I don't think that one is my map.
        Also, all X regardless :(

        • neil on 27/10/2016 - 12:23

          That's the most recent map for Myki based on the shop small event in September. There are 7 places confirmed by members which take Amex for Myki recharges, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/amex_shop_small_guide#myki…. Unfortunately, when these offers happen retailers ban or surcharge Amex transactions for Myki (e.g. Amcal Chemist in Carlton banned Amex for Myki with a sign).

        • hamwhisperer on 27/10/2016 - 12:37

          @neil: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/215492

          So none of those ( bottom ) any use anymore? :(

          Totally: reasonable to use a newer map, sad to see so many X tho.

          Are any in the CBD usable at all? Is my map useless?

        • neil on 30/10/2016 - 19:10

          @hamwhisperer:

          I wouldn't even rely on the most recent map. You have 30 days to get the credit so it's best we start again so we can confirm for sure if they places still take AMEX for recharges. Myki has a map of retailers so I'd use that and go from there. I'd go through the September list, then last years. Crowdsourcing :)

          I'll create a new map to maybe ✓ in yellow for September confirmation, ✓ in green for November confirmation, and maybe remove the x's until we have confirmation again that they don't work. Hopefully, others will keep the wiki updated so we can have a updated data source.

  • lostn on 28/10/2016 - 17:04

    Damn me for not reading the T&C. It doesn't actually start until Nov 1, but I made a ton of purchases already. :/

    I'm used to the offer being open when registration is open.

  • unfunkable on 29/10/2016 - 11:07

    Any business owners in ACT that is part of the small shop, and have some amex cards message me.
    I'd like to have a quick question.

  • Sunny84 on 29/10/2016 - 15:09

    Anyone have issues registering their NAB Platinum Amex card? My card went through however my wife's card which is on a separate account is unable to enrol with an error message "Unfortunately, this card is not eligible for this offer"

        that's quite disappointing. the absence of these stores really undermines the value of the promotion, at least for me (was looking to stock up on Halo Top ice cream and other IGA-exclusive goodies!)

        • inherentchoice on 31/10/2016 - 15:11

          There may be some prospect of some stores that aren't listed still working? I might try buy $20 of fuel at the servo that was listed last year and see what happens.

        • Hitstachbachman on 04/11/2016 - 10:22

          Any luck with trying Amex at the servos? Was hoping to use the credit on petrol this year as well.

    Just put $20 on my Opal card at Nextra in Westfield Chatswood. Last time I topped up there as part of Shop Small September I got charged $1 surcharge; this time I got charged $0.50. Also got the qualifying e-mail. One down, nine to go!

    • [Deactivated] on 03/11/2016 - 07:07

      Nextra Chatswood charged $1 yesterday

    • SydneySwan on 03/11/2016 - 21:01

      I was charged $1 today and I recharged OPAL using 3 cards. My son has a friend who works there and he confirms that the Amex surcharge is 5%.

  • T-man on 31/10/2016 - 11:48

    Just spent the money but I don't receive any confirmation email from Amex, does anyone get the same problem?

    • CI on 31/10/2016 - 11:50

      I find if you use the chip instead of tap and go its instant.

      I can confirm that this is the case as I've used nine retailers in the Sydney CBD and got the email while I was still in store.

      • kerfuffle on 31/10/2016 - 12:07

        I agree with this observation based on my personal experiences.

    Got the confirmation emails for both instantly.

    • stevoplaystation on 20/11/2016 - 13:50

      Did u use the same cards for 2 ezymart stores ? Was wondering if they were counted as one shop or it's separate

      • bargain ben on 23/11/2016 - 15:18

        They are separate stores, so can go to multiple locations.

    More Opal top-ups:

    Oxford St Newsagency you can get away with paying no surcharge if you buy a Redskin or Milko for 25 cents with your top-up.
    Connaught Newsagency on Liverpool St charge 50 cents surcharge.
    The Lucky Charm Pavilion (opposite Citisuper) charge $1 surcharge. Also happened to run into four Shop Small reps there advising the shopkeeper about Shop Small and giving out advertising material and pens. So I flashed my AMEX at them and asked for a pen too xD

      Nice pen. Looks like you were on the train… travelling effectively half price after topping up Opal card??

      • kerfuffle on 31/10/2016 - 15:31

        Pretty much 😏 My weekly Opal usage is between $35-$40 a week so trying to make the most of Shop Small by using the majority of them on Opal top-ups :)

        • snapper on 31/10/2016 - 15:43

          Yeah, you might as well! Do you have more than one card? That hadn't occurred to me to do that, but the professional ozbargainers on here are all about that!

        • kerfuffle on 31/10/2016 - 16:12

          @snapper: Nope, just one primary AMEX. I could take out a supplementary card but dunno whose name to use ahahaha (unless I put initial surname since my primary one is first name surname)

    I found the pavilion charges $2 and they also pointed to their sign stuck on the counter. So far can confirm Wus Pharmacy still $0.50; B&J at 187 Thomas St is $1; EzyMart at 11 Rawson Pl is $1.50

    • kerfuffle on 31/10/2016 - 14:58

        Perhaps. EzyMart 770 George charges $2 instead of $1 as per the map (or I was unlucky there, as well)
        Confirmed Connaught & Oxford still $0.50

        • kerfuffle on 31/10/2016 - 16:12

          18-32 Oxford - $0.50

          Just FYI, I went to 770 George today and the guy charged $3. I almost walked out but $7 free Opal credit is better than $0 free Opal credit. His machine also screwed up and there are now triplicate charges on my Amex account, but I'm not sure whether or not they'll end up going through. Will be disputing if they do…

    • Sharp on 02/11/2016 - 15:17

      I went to Rawson Pl at lunch time he wanted $2. the same guy did not charge me any fee on Monday. I didn't recharge obviously. Some people must accept $2 surcharge so they can lift up the fee like that.

      Similarly 770 George St charged me $1 on Monday today he asked $2. I didn't recharge there either.

      Kudos to Wu Pharmacy, Connought Newsagency and Oxford St Newsagency. They never increased their 50c surcharge.

      ohh I just see this post.

      City convenience 19 hunter st, I saw on the counter it said $1 surcharge for Credit Card so I give it a go for $40 topup.
      After I topup, he told me to pay $22 per card. I asked why then he said it's Amex.

      RIP OFF!!!!

        I have reported him to AmEx as he is breaching his T&C - which says - no active discouragement of using amex by charging hefty surcharges.

        Did you write that correctly? $22 surcharge or $2?

        • neohazard on 01/11/2016 - 21:14

          oops, my mistake

          I mean I have 2 Amex cards so I top up $40 then end up paid $22 * 2 cards.

        Not sure if this applies:

        Considering a $20 top up with a $2 surcharge is 10%, we happily accept it because of the discount but if it isn't a typo and actually $22, surely the ACCC could intervene?

      That's very unethical

      Crappy City Convenience store that same night at 19 Hunter St poorly lied that the system was "down", so no Opal Amex possible…
      Does anyone know if I can report this poor behavior to Amex?

      Shopkeeper should've just admitted he didn't want to process my transaction instead of cowardly lieing.

        It's possible they ran out of credit with the ePay system
