    Is there the possibility that we could start a suggestion list say under forums of what to buy in general. And people can add to the list. Like a table? But just a list without comment etc. ??

    • bricabrac89 on 06/09/2017 - 12:24

      Agree, but it is also going to be hard as not all retailers participating will be in all states and even then might just be one store in a whole state so not accessible for all.

      As is mentioned in the Shop Small Wiki;

      Scroll down to What are the best things to buy?

      This is somewhat subjective. To my mind though, the 'best things to buy' are any things that you WOULD HAVE BOUGHT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PROMOTION WAS RUNNING OR NOT'; but from a 'verified SS vendor', instead of your usual source. Because that way, each transaction is like $10 cash in your pocket (think petrol, pet-food, public-transport-card-top-ups, standard-priced groceries, pharmacy goods, etc). If you find yourself buying things you would NOT NORMALLY BUY, just because the SS promotion is running, then maybe you are not actually benefiting financially from it.

      • CheapskateQueen on 10/09/2017 - 09:53

        this is why it's gonna be hard if the opal hack does't work this time around. here's hoping though.

    are sub cards eligible ? so main card + sub = 10 times? is that right?

      Definitely seems like a lot fewer convenience stores and newsagencies on the list this year than last year (for doing Opal recharges etc.) Still, with only 5 credits instead of 10, they only need half as many as last year :(

      EDIT: Actually, going by postcode, and assuming the map is accurate (which has been problematic in past years), there seems to be only roughly half the number of businesses participating this year as compared to last. I just did a quick search on postcodes 2000, 2010, 2011 so it may not be representative of every town and suburb.

      • caomei on 31/10/2017 - 10:49

    • Maki on 31/10/2017 - 15:30

      Thanks thydzik for your great work. I did find a few weird ones.
      For example, Kopi Tim (SA) is on your map but not in AMEX map.
      CIBO ESPRESSO GOUGER ST (SA) appears on the AMEX Map but not yours.
      Did you use the lat and lon to generate the list? If yes, it may have picked up the store nearby?!

      • thydzik on 31/10/2017 - 16:26

        thanks, it may have been updated after I posted.

        I do use lat and lng, but amex returns max 100 entries per request, so it should be captured.

      • thydzik on 05/11/2017 - 16:44

        CIBO ESPRESSO is an interesting one,
        if you search '41 Gouger Street, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia'
        which is its address, 100 listings come up but not that one.
        Only if you search the name does it appear.

        Is this what you have found?

        I can only populate based on addresses.

        • gccmelb on 05/11/2017 - 20:58

          Comes up on your list for Victoria. I was surprised when a local IGA came up, after it got taken over by a administrator.

      a number of users have pointed out a few places are not in the list, I'll update it shortly.

    • demiurge on 01/11/2017 - 18:32

      I think the list is wrong, search for sushi hub on amex page and the result is not the same as the excel file.

      • thydzik on 05/11/2017 - 16:49

        can you let me know specifically which places?

        I have noticed some weird thing where a place an be found by searching, but doesn't spear using the address search.

        • demiurge on 05/11/2017 - 17:00

          All sushi hubs have disappeared from Amex, I actually spend 20 at QV Melbourne and didn't get an email.

        'I think the list is wrong…'

        I don't think it is at all. Last year, the similarly (and selflessly) prepared list generated by Thyds was WAY more reliable/accurate/sensible/informative than anything actually supplied by Amex. I think it is much more likely that AMEX is changing their 'list' of participating merchants (and perhaps 'The Map') on the fly, as they receive information from shoppers/vendors/etc.

    • thydzik on 05/11/2017 - 17:54

      I have updated the spreadsheets (not htm or map).

      17,940 places have been added

      • cooni on 13/11/2017 - 09:27

        I noticed for example that Adriano Zumbo stores were removed from their site (and subsequently removed from your spreadsheet).
        But I can confirm that these stores still trigger a cashback.

        Should the two data sets maybe be merged?

    Hats off to AMEX. Most pleased.
    A $10 AMEX Shop Small credit just popped into my account two days ago (on Thursday 18 Oct 2017).
    I had thought I had only got 9 of the 10 credits from last year but didn't bother following it up as I was not sure I'd matched all the businesses correctly.
    Perhaps Shop Small have just done a system reconciliation in setting up for this year's Shop Small. Bonus. Thanks AMEX.

      I was checking to see if the shop small this year is ready to register yet this morning and found the same thing!

      Not looking at it properly I thought I was charged $10 at a shop I didn't spend money on since last small shop and scratched my head trying to find out why I had that transaction LOL.

      Anyways thanks AMEX haha

    • hamwhisperer on 31/10/2017 - 11:49

      Can you and @turd https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/2272 recommend a few cards with a 0$ yearly fee that will work for this? I really need to get 2 or 3 more, I only have 1.

  • joeiwu on 26/10/2017 - 21:24

    I wonder whether it will be a completely FREE meal if $20 was spent at Sushi Hub at QV (which is one of the shop small venues) as there is another AMEX offer running for spend $20 get $10 back valid until 4/11/17 so the dates will overlap. Are AMEX offers stackable anyone?

    • shortgum on 27/10/2017 - 02:44

      Wow good idea. logically should be stackable. however, we used up all credits!

    • Jad on 27/10/2017 - 09:44

      In the past AMEX offers have been stackable, so chances are good. e.g. A HN offer stacked with Mobile Wallet offer last year.

    • jakxon on 30/10/2017 - 20:11

      quite possibly! It should stack! Please try it out!

      Based on my experience last year, AMEX offers stack up. I took advantage of the AMEX Marriott offer (spend $300, get $150 back). Paid for my hotel stay in November 2016 and, to my surprise, received a $10 credit on top of the $150 credit. Gotta love AMEX! I'll test your Sushi Hub suggestion this week and report back :)

        • hamwhisperer on 31/10/2017 - 12:12

          I honestly didn't think there were that many Amex cards available in the country.
          You must have several of those on a yearly fee, rather than 0$ per year, surely?

          (I also kinda don't believe you, seriously?) take a pic - blur out some stuff.

          It must cost you in excess of $1000 a year in fees?

        • illumination on 31/10/2017 - 12:23
          +4

          @hamwhisperer:

          So when I say 27 they are not necessarily:

          • In my name
          • Me as the primary cardholder

          The others who do this like me would we be well aware of how it works, but it's roughly like this.

          • Gather your family - those easily accessible to you, preferably those you have access to on a daily basis (in case anything goes wrong)
          • Get them on a primary AMEX card if eligible
          • Get as many supplementaries under those cards (free). Ideally, get them all in your name. If not possible (usually not allowed), then get it in the name of other family members
          • Repeat the process

          By doing this you can quite easily end up with a large number of AMEX cards.

          Yes, some of them have annual fees but I will only pay it if I feel there is value in it.

          Full breakdown of the primary cards I currently have access to:

          • AMEX Explorer
          • 2x AMEX Platinum Edge
          • AMEX Velocity Platinum
          • BMW AMEX
          • NAB Velocity Rewards Premium
          • NAB Qantas Rewards Premium
          • Westpac AMEX

          Yes, looks like the total annual fee is in excess of $1000 but as I said I would've only signed up if it made sense (i.e. there was a deal for it at the time or there is significant ongoing value).

        • MathNerd on 31/10/2017 - 12:33
          +1

          Chiming in here with my experience too:

          As a primary cardholder, I have a Platinum Edge and an Explorer.

          My Plat Edge has 5 supplementaries (so I have 6 Plat Edges).
          My Explorer has 3 supplementaries (so I have 4 Explorers).
          That's 10 cards there.

          My partner has an Explorer, and has me a supplementary cardholder on her account.
          That's 2 more cards.

          So I'm currently on 12 cards between my partner and me, and we're planning on getting a few more supplementaries (3 primary cards so that's up to 15 total cards).

          Quite easy really, just do everything online, try and stay away from talking to/interacting with AmEx CSRs while doing this, let everything be done by the computer systems (so that you don't hit roadblocks like CSRs saying "you can't have a supplementary card in your own name", etc, etc, etc…).

          @JLQC5899:

          I'm not the primary cardholder for all the cards.

          Sorry I do notice that I've bolded primary, but I meant "primary" as a synonym for "main". i.e. I attained 27 cards total from applying for supplementaries under those primary cards.

        It's either the OTT exuberance or the SHOUTING or the inference that you're looking to get gift cards (like wish, CM) associated with shop big places, as opposed to shop small places. It's hard to tell really.

      who said? I've been able to previously - and unless the newsagency state "no Amex for top-ups" we should be right.. no?

        Try it on one AMEX and see if you get the email acknowledgement.
