The Offer
Check your AmEx Offers for the following deal:
- Get a $5 statement credit by using your enrolled eligible Card to make a single purchase of $15 or more directly at any business on the Shop Small Map (or Online Directory) in the US or US territories by 12/31/2021. Limit of 2 statement credits (total of $10 back) per Card Member.
- Some are reporting seeing a 10x usage max ($100 back total).
The Fine Print
- A “qualifying purchase” means a purchase made at a business location on the Shop Small Map in the US or US territories available, at americanexpress.com/shopsmalloffer, or the Online Directory, available at americanexpress.com/shopsmallonline, with your enrolled Card or with Pay with Points linked to an enrolled Card on or before 12/31/2021 in accordance with these terms.
- The following do NOT count as a qualifying purchase: fees or interest charges, cash advances, purchases of traveler’s checks, purchases or reloading of prepaid Cards, purchases of any cash equivalents or purchases made in foreign currencies.
- You may not receive a statement credit if we receive inaccurate information or are otherwise unable to identify your purchase as qualified for the offer. For example, you may not receive the statement credit if (a) the merchant uses a third-party to sell their products or services except that qualifying purchases made through Resy.com and the Resy mobile app will qualify for the offer; or (b) the merchant uses a third-party to process or submit your transaction to us (e.g., using mobile or wireless card readers); or (c) you choose to make a purchase using a third-party payment account or make a purchase using a mobile or digital wallet. Note that we may not receive information about your qualifying purchase from merchant until all items from your qualifying purchase have been provided/shipped by merchant.
- Statement credit may be reversed if qualifying purchase is returned/cancelled. If we do not receive information that identifies your transaction as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive the statement credit.
- OTHER TERMS: Offers are available for varying and limited periods of time and are dynamic and personalized. If you navigate away from the Offers page, you may see different offers when you return. Offer is non-transferable. Limit of 2 statements credits (total of $10 back) per Card Member. The enrolled Card account must not be cancelled or past due to receive statement credits. Any statement credit earned from this offer is in addition to the rewards (i.e. Membership Rewards or cash back) that you may earn as part of your existing Card benefits. Statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 90 days after 12/31/2021, provided that we receive information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. We are working hard to connect our Card Members and merchant partners to deliver benefits to them both during this challenging time. Due to this unprecedented period of disruption, note that the merchants listed on the Shop Small Map or the Online Directory may change and your ability to redeem Amex Offers may be affected at this time due to changes in some merchants’ operations, such as reduced hours or suspension of in-person shopping, dining or services. In addition, business location and other information provided on the Shop Small Map or the Online Directory may contain inaccuracies or errors. While we hope to provide you with this offer on these terms, given the unpredictability of the current situation, we may need, and we reserve the right, to change or cancel this offer at any time. By adding an offer to a Card, you agree that American Express may send you communications about the offer. POID: K2SP:0001
Our Verdict
Free $10 for me as I’ll add this to my Blue Cash Preferred which I use at the local small business grocery store. This offer seems to be widely available, but might not show on every card.
Here’s a link to the AmEx Shop Small map. Note, many small businesses not listed there will count anyway. There’s a separate (better) AmEx Offer for third-party Amex cards with $10 off $10.

Got this offer and also the $2 off $5 (5 times) on my Blue Cash Preferred. Thanks, DoC.

Reading some of the comments here I’m surprised that a corporation has better morals than people do! Supporting black owned businesses is somehow racist? SMH

Replace the word “black” with “white” and maybe you will get it.
Some members of my family got this $5 off $15 (2x) small business offer, but others got the (basically useless) $15 off $20 Showfields black small business offer. No one got both. I added the $5 offer to the cards that already have AMEX’s $10/$20 restaurant offer, since those are the small businesses we mostly frequent and this way we can double dip in fewer transactions. BTW, these multiple small AMEX offers are somewhat of a PITA as you have to remember which card to use for which transaction; a fair amount of effort for a modest payback. Like we’ve been trying to use up our $2 contactless credits and keep switching cards for that. Kind of silly, but it’s part of the game, I guess.
Does that app that sells gift cards works?
1/2 (on personal, not on biz, if that makes a difference)
