Sure. Why would you think it might not?

It's not really what I meant. I have 3 different AMEX cards. Can I register all 3 of them?

Remider - Small Business Saturday

Spend $25 (or more) at a small business with your registered Amex card and get a $25 credit.

Sure, only 25 points/etc but you also get $25 in free goods.

Here's the terms and conditions, from the above provided link:

American Express Small Business Saturday $25 Statement Credit Offer

To be eligible for the Small Business Saturday $25 statement credit, you must (1) register any valid U.S. American Express® Consumer Card or Business Card by clicking on the link at www.facebook.com/shopsmall and follow the directions provided, and (2) use that Card to make a purchase of $25 or more at a small business on November 26, 2011. Registration starts November 1, 2011 and is limited. Limit one statement credit per registered Card, regardless of the number of transactions you make using that Card. Additionally, if you received a $25 statement credit in connection with Small Business Saturday through American Express’ offer on Foursquare, you will not be eligible to receive the statement credit through this offer.

Eligible small business merchants are independently owned small businesses located in the United States that accept the American Express Card. Purchases made at large or national chain stores, at franchised business locations and at government agencies are not eligible. Prepaid, Corporate Cards and ExpressPay transactions are not eligible.

If your registered Card is replaced during the promotional period, please call the customer service number on the back of your Card for assistance. Statement credits are generally issued within 5 business days after your qualifying purchase, but may take up to 2 billing cycles to post to your account. Additional terms apply; see Registration Terms & Conditions for details.

I was able to, and it would seem that I'll get a credit on each, I can't say for certain

There's a running thread with more info in the Amex MR forum, Mods?

Also, made me laugh that the miles you'll earn on the purchase is your priority, not the $25 in free merchandise. Classic.

If you participate in a Rewards Network dining program and are VIP there and have that card registered there, you can do a $25 dine at an indie restaurant for free and still earn 125 miles (through RN). That's what I did for the similar kind of promo last year. (This year I'm outside the US on that Saturday, and the promo only works within the US per the T&Cs.)

Last year I got credit for multiple cards - 4 or 5 cards between 2 persons in household. This year I am hoping to get credit on 9 cards. Hopefully it will work out.

Ok, stupid question - how do you tell that a particular merchant is eligible for this promo?

For example, I'd like to go here - http://www.booksinc.net/about-us , but am not sure it will qualify. The list of merchants on Facebook seems incomplete.

Correct, those are only examples of qualifying merchants. There is no list, only the definition published in the terms.

That's annoying because I'm not sure if some of the merchants will qualify and I sure as hell don't want to spend $25 that I won't otherwise spend and then find out that I'm not getting the credit.
