Websites to lookup merchants that will count:
http://americanexpress.com/shopsmalloffer
http://americanexpress.com/shopsmallonline
The shop small logo will appear on the merchant search results.
Some of the merchant types to think about to check:
-Local restaurants
-Some franchisees of larger quick-serve restaurant chains (where the franchisee sets up their own card processing)
-Small grocery stores
-Small convenience stores
-Small independent auto repair (or local franchisee that does the own card processing)
-Small crafts and retail stores
-Hair/nail salons
-Local dry cleaners
-Independent doctor/dentist offices (co-pays or out of pocket)
-Local plumbing/repair vendors
-Parking lots
-Local religious institutions (for charity donations - although in this situation, the institution is likely miscategorized as charities are officially excluded)
-Those using Elavon, Revel, Toast, Stripe or Square processing systems
DO NOT depend on the results when you do a location search, always try to use the merchant name that you are accustomed to seeing on your card statements. I find many merchants this way that don't show as dots on the region search map.
Must have at least 1 but no more than 25 locations (for brick and-mortar businesses) and have no more than $5M in American Express annual charge volume.
