Amex Shop Small is on [Oct/Nov 2016]

[albyd]

I had a merchant yesterday who'd initially said they would split a large bill. Then they couldn't be bothered so said 'we'll get charged each time' so we're going to deal elsewhere even with no shop small concession. Some people just don't want to do the extra work to get the extra sales.

Call the number on the back of your card. I had a couple of credits added because I made purchases at shops that were on the map, but were no longer in the program.

Is this for an Amex issued card?

Yes, Amex Qantas Ultimate. The Amex rep was very apologetic on both occasions and credited my account without issue.

Use the internal Amex messaging system when you log into your account. They are prompt and very courteous.

That doesn't work with Bank issued cards

Most banks have an equivalent. Anyway, Amex have said to me that if it occurs on a bank-issued card I should contact the bank and they will arrange for the credit.

Just bought morning tea for everyone at work. $10 well spent

Have you guys registered your bank issued AMEX on AMEX connect https://network.americanexpress.com/connect/au/en/default.html. You can use their secure internal email after logging in. I had some delays in getting my HN credit on my bank issued AMEX ... emailed them via Amex Connect and it got sorted out. The email replies are very prompt too ... usually within 48 hours.

Topped up myki 3 times yesterday! Confirmed on Amex email! Did a magnum, apple pie and tinned fruit small shop too. Ate out but mate would not do a small shop place

Amex sent me a replacement credit card and I stupidly activated it, not realising that my current card would stop working. Does that mean no more credits for me, or will I get them on the new card?

Just register it manually on AmexConnect. I did that yesterday for a new supplementary card and the maximum quota had not been reached for Shop Small.

Its an Amex Amex though, amexconnect redirects to Amex which shows the offer saved to my card. Between that and the card number not changing, I'd say it is still registered.

Sounds like you will be ok with the card number being the same. I have found like you that trying to register an Amex amex through amexconnect does not work - but using a manual link does

I think most of these still work if anyone is after them;

With the same number, I agree, you will be OK.

You can register an Amex Amex through AmexConnect though. I do that all the time and it is the way people find out the manual link that needs to be used.

Just make sure you not logged into either Amex OLB or AmexConnect, enter an Amex Amex card number in to register a new account, you then get the 'Let's get started' prompt and yuo click through to offers and then the 'Enroll Now' button which sends you to the manual registration page, as per the examples quoted by Steady.

Good to know, thanks.

If I had to guess, and I do because I can't say for sure, I'd say that if the replacement card has a different number to the one it's replacing, you need to register the replacement card too. If not, should be tickety-boo.

I too have a replacement card waiting to be registered but I'm not doing that until Dec 1 - just to be sure.

If you receive a replacement card even if it has a new number then you will find the Amex 'offers' are transferred from the old card. You will not be able to register for an offer again and 'double dip'.

 

[andye]

Ive found this too. Amex are successful in linking the cards. Direct debits will also transfer across even if number changes

I completed Shop Small today - 71 credits from 7 cards. It seems that manual credits for where a business refused to accept Amex don't count in your total. I did 20 OPAL top-ups and the rest were a mixture of cafes / restaurants, chemists, and shops. I couldn't have survived without a spreadsheet detailing which card had been used where. I found most businesses accepting of dividing up purchases into $20 lots on multiple cards although one business insisted a $90 purchase could only be split into 2.

It has been a great month for Amex credits with 5 * $40 DJ credits and 6 * $100 HN credits plus a couple of others. Well north of $1500 in all.

 

[opusman]

Is it foolish to ask how come you have 7 amex cards?

 

[kpc]

I did 20 OPAL top-ups

Can you tell me where you did Opal top ups in Sydney please? Between +1 and myself, we have 6 Amex cards, and will barely have done 1 /2 the maximum number ...we have been away 1/2 of November though +1 is not working tomorrow and the day after, and i intend to send her all over Sydney to do the balance ....New one for me tonight...one of the cafes listed on Shop Small has changed ownership and I only noticed when I did not get an email and checked my credit card to find out that the cafe had a new name and presumably a change in ownership
