One of the benefits of having an American Express credit card is that you can get free access to ShopRunner (normal price is $79 annually), which gives you free two day shipping at a number of different merchants and also free return shipping on eligible items. This was a great benefit as it meant you could purchase a lot of low cost items and still get free shipping (a lot of sites require you to order $50+ to get free shipping directly from them or flat out don’t offer free shipping).
Unfortunately people have received the following e-mail:
So basically starting May 1st, 2015 some merchants that participate in ShopRunner will require a minimum order size to get free shipping. It would be nice to have a bit more information (e.g what merchants will require a minimum order size, what will the minimum order size be? etc) but it’s never nice to have benefits downgraded like this.
Thanks to all the readers who let me know about this one (Paul & KB)
