    AMEX: Shop Small is a targeted Offer. Not all Cards are targeted to receive all Amex Offers.

    If you’re not seeing the Offer on your Card, it means it is not eligible. That being said, you may be eligible for other Amex Offers on this Card, or other Cards if you have any. We do not have this information yet.

    It was just communicated to us that this year Shop Small offer is targeted.
    We’re unable to disclose eligibility criteria for offers such as Shop Small.

    ME: Are you 100% sure that cards that are not targeted now will not receive the offer in a few days?

    AMEX: Yes, that is right

    (sadness)

    • fatming on 02/11/2019 - 12:05

      I don’t get how my primary card is targeted and 2 other supps are but just one supp not?

    Shame on Amex to make it targeted.

  • jakxon on 02/11/2019 - 12:41

    Amex can't advertise a publicly without saying it is going to be targeted. Giving customers false hope throughout the day of signing up to the offer doesn’t do it any good either too!

    • Ughhh on 02/11/2019 - 12:46

      Where is it advertised publicly?

      • Plutonus on 02/11/2019 - 13:44

        It was on their website saying card members can get up to $50 back, etc… but now they've changed the website to not refer to it.

        https://www.americanexpress.com/au/shop-small/card-members.h… - 'Offers' menu link goes no where, they removed that part of the page.

          I feel like someone has dropped the ball pretty badly on this one and no one really knows what's going on. Will be interesting to see what Monday brings.

  • rith on 02/11/2019 - 13:44

    I only got the offer in my account this morning (after nothing all day yesterday), so I'm guess I'm lucky?

  • jasonb on 02/11/2019 - 14:08

    For what it's worth I'm negging the deal because of the messed up targeting. If Amex sort it out after the weekend I'll + it instead, Shop Small is usually a great deal just hampered by this false start this year.

  • desafinado74 on 02/11/2019 - 14:22

  • rogsamsy on 02/11/2019 - 14:27

    Just went to a Pharmacy Nutrition Warehouse somewhere in Sydney which is on the current Shop Small map, and both terminals rejected 2 different AMEXs they even tried rebooting the system. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd say something was going on here..

    • knackers on 02/11/2019 - 14:45

      Notify Amex and they will credit you $10.. This Amex small shop offer is designed to compel small shops to include Amex as a payment option. The act of you and others asking to use Amex goes a long way in achieving this ultimate goal. It's called creating an artificial market or demand.

      • Whensday on 05/11/2019 - 21:28

        I just notified Amex when I encountered this and they most certainly did not credit me $10.

        Update: tried again via a different person who said I'm entitled to a $20 refund. Will see what happens, and when. Strangely, they didn't ask for proof - and I still have the receipt that shows I tried to pay by Amex but it wasn't accepted, so I then paid by eftpos.

        • Whensday on 11/11/2019 - 10:56
          +2

          Further update:
          $10 credited to my account and $10 to the supplementary account "because I was unable to use either card at the merchant".

          So $20 back on a $21 purchase, and it didn't consume any of my five refunds per card.

      Best bet is one of the City Marts.

  • madmo on 02/11/2019 - 16:37

    Wonder if Amex has set up an internal rule for maximum of cards in a group having the offer this year.

    Have two different cards. Each card has additional 3 supp cards. For each card type, one of each supp card did not get the offer.

    • Samsungnote10 on 02/11/2019 - 16:42

      I got both primary and 1 x supp each , the rest of the supps no deal

    • Sestrooper on 03/11/2019 - 10:40

      All my supps got the offer. I didn't activate it on them though.

    • blueyez on 03/11/2019 - 14:53

          If your repayment history is good, your card limits are not super high, and you space out your applications for credit cards (i.e. don't apply for multiple cards within a very short time period) your credit history should continue to look fine.

    - brunch & coffee
    - face moisturise lotion & other stuff from 2 chemists on same street.
    - opal top up at Newsagent with 1.1% surcharges (20.22)
    - takeaway at Thai Doytao restaurant, super yummy.

    I think they're all Howard st in Padstow. I can get their exact names & addresses if anyone interested.

    Hello xxxxxx, I got your query, I would like to inform you , As per Shop Small Terms & Conditions, not all card are eligible for the offer. However Cap has been reached which was 118000 and because it is quite famous offer and many card member wait for this offer in November and it has been filled, that is the only reason you are not able to view shop small enrollment icon online.

    however we will be happy to notify if in case this cap will increase
