    or via online chat 24 hours.

I noticed a few Chemist Warehouses in Perth got dropped from the small shop map. I swear they were there yesterday.

  same in Brisbane BUT did not show the Small Shop logo therefore do not qualify. Be careful. the merchant must show the logo.

  Conversely there are a few Priceline Chemists on the list and $5.00 will come off scripts also.

Just received 3x emails from AmEx confirming my purchases when I used my 3 supps at a Super Butcher Eagle Farm, Brisbane. I had used one of the supps last week and received the credit so it's not like it's a supp card only thing either.

I guess Amex emails are back in the menu.

    Beware that their map link from my Amex app is showing more business like Chemist Warehouse, Nando’s, KFC, etc with no shop small logo next to it. They’re not eligible. They have filter option, but not sure how to apply it since there’s no button to confirm. The desktop search is fine, but it’s awful too with the big Amex disclaimer overlaying the list in the middle :(
thehub on 19/06/2020 - 13:27

Are transactions processed through Google Pay eligible for the Shop Small credit?

I know the T&Cs say this: "Transactions processed through a third party are not eligible for the offer." Does anyone know whether Google Pay (or Apple Pay) would fall within this bucket?

I used Google Pay (on my Pixel 2) for a couple of transactions today and have not received any notification email that I would usually get. Although I guess there's a chance that the notifications could just be delayed (like others have posted).
- daanish on 19/06/2020 - 18:23

  Google Pay transactions still count. I've received credits already from Google Pay payments. I would hate to have to carry around multiple cards during Shop Small.
  
  Notification emails are hit and miss at the moment. I've received emails for 3 out of about 10 transactions across my 4 cards.
- KangarooOz on 06/07/2020 - 12:30

  Google Pay and Apple Pay are not really transaction providers but they are the ways to carry the cards (without carrying the physical cards).
- thehub on 10/07/2020 - 10:59
  
  Just an update on my initial query. My transactions via Google Pay on my phone didn't end up earning the Shop Small credits. I never got any notification emails for those transactions.
  
  But days later when I went back to the same shops and used my actual Amex card, I did receive notification emails and received the credits.
  
  Hence the initial transactions for some reason never registered under the Shop Small promotion.

  - AnDyStYLe on 20/06/2020 - 12:30
    
    Cake shop in VIC… They are on the AMEX map.
    
    Guess the point I was making is that AMEX seem to be a little inconsistent with the notification this year, but I wouldn't sweat not getting the statement credit, especially if the store is on the map!

Opal run around Sydney CBD during the past week:

Wu's Pharmacy, 629 George Street: 2% surcharge so $10.20 per Amex. Tap and go. Can do split payment (multiple cards for same top up). No Amex emails, but cash back received next day. Very efficient, just asked how many Amex I have.

Oxford Street Newsagency, Shop 1, 18-32 Oxford Street (near bus stop): 2.5% surcharge so $10.25 per Amex. Tap and go. Can do split payment (multiple cards for same top up). Amex emails received, cash back not yet arrived. The shopkeeper was nice and very efficient.

Quay Newsagency, Alfred Street (under Circular Quay station): 1.6% surcharge displayed clearly. Tap and go. Refused to do split payment, said minimum is $20 per Amex. Thanked them politely and left without topping up.

Hi all, I tried live chat since I havent received my cashback from 18th June. The rep said

"I'd like to inform you that it's a known issue and few customers are not receiving emails as soon as they make the spend. Please do not worry if you made the purchase at the eligible Shop once the transaction is posted on your account you may receive an email and the credit is applied within 3-5 business days after the charge post-date."

Doesn't explain why mine hasnt come in after 5 buisness days but rep said

"I understand. However, there is a known issue that emails are delayed due to technical issue. I assure you that I have escalated the case and the dedicated team will work on it"

Just have to wait I guess.
- kickling on 29/06/2020 - 22:55
  
  Based on previous experience with minor bungles by amex for these types of cashback promos, customer service has been pretty good in manually crediting what is due, so have a chat with them after waiting… But YMMV.

This is an absolute circus this year. Amex chat said they would apply the credits manually after they tried to fob me off on the five working days which I waited for. Still no credits assigned.

Is calling better than the live chat?

Edit: I see two duplicated $96 charges, one processed and one stuck in pending and another duplicated charge (one posted, one in pending) on my card.

I'm assuming the pending charges will go but I have never seen duplicated charges like this before.

      I must look suspicious. :(

        @apple0604: If it makes you feel any better, I just got a call from AmEx today to verify the the identity of the name I gave for my newest supp card. Unfortunately my newest application might not necessarily have all their affairs in order so I've been caught there.

        @daanish: So your supp card wasn't approved. In the past, people on here said they were not asked for ID verifications for their supp card applications. I was always a bit unconvinced. I was called (a few years back) to provide ID info twice.

        @apple0604: It's been true for me.
        
        I added supps for my 3 immediate family members with no verification required. I just filled out the applications online and a week later they were in the mail. I wanted to add an extra supp so I did the usual trick of adding one in a pet's name but they've followed up asking for some ID verification. Guess I'll have to cancel it and try my luck later.

        @daanish: Did you use an unmatched last name for your pet? That might be the reason.
