Small Shop is back: Earn £5 when spending £15 or more at small business
With the festive season fast approaching and consumers across the UK hitting the shops for those all-important seasonal gifts, American Express is once again running its Shop Small Offer to support local small businesses at this vital time.
From 4-15 December 2021, American Express Cardmembers will receive a £5 statement credit when they spend £15 or more at participating small businesses across the UK, up to 5 times, once per participating small business.
The launch of this Shop Small Offer will coincide with Small Business Saturday (4 December), an initiative encouraging people to support their local small businesses in the run up to the festive season and beyond.
Cardmembers can enrol for the Shop Small Offer from 24 November via the American Express® App or their Online Account and can search for participating stores via the Shop Small Map.
The American Express Shop Small campaign aims to support small businesses by encouraging the nation to shop frequently at their local small businesses. American Express has a long history of championing the high street and is proud to have been a founder of the first ever UK Small Business Saturday back in 2013, and continues to be its principal supporter in the UK.
