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.*
