Anyone else?
Credit posted even though I never got the "Used your amex offer" email. The restaurant was on the map.

Eh, that happened to me in years past. I also remember their listing one that was closed for Small Business Saturday!

3/3 I'll take it!

Sadly the go to place I used last year is not on the map. Guess I'll have to go somewhere else. $30 is better than nothing.

Nothing on any of my Amex cards. Probably hit it a bit too hard last year

4/5 personal cards, $10 off on $10 spend.

The map didn't show the places I used the cards at last year, but when I specified their names, they were found (one in blue, one in green; dunno what that means). Searching for a business I knew was ineligible found nothing, so I hope that both places work.

You can specify types, partial names, etc.

But I don't see a way to get it to show the 100 closest places to a given address.

Can anyone confirm that they received the credit at a small merchant that DID NOT show up on this year's Shop Small Map? I'm 0 for 2.

I previously got the $10 off $10 on a few of my cards. This morning, while looking for the new $15 off $60 at Amazon, I noticed one of my cards had a new $20 off $100 Shop Small offer.

I've noticed that the qualifying merchant list is a lot smaller this year than last year. For example, a restaurant that gave the SBS statement credit last year (Hill Country BBQ in NYC) is not working this year.

i didn't enroll any of my cards, was not targeted, had received promo emails suggesting shopping at local businesses.

then today, received this email.

Thanks for using your American Express® Card ending in 12345 to Shop Small® in November. Look out for a $10 statement credit, which will automatically be applied to your statement if your purchase meets the offer terms. See offer terms below.*
