Small Business Saturday from American Express is back. Registration opens November 18.
On November 18, we’ll register all our AMEX issued and AMEX processed cards (except prepaids). Then on November 24, we’ll spend $25+ at small business with each card to get a $25 credit on each statement.
Last Thanksgiving I was in Hawaii, so I bought $25 gift certificates to all my sister’s favorite restaurants. We used some, and I gave her the rest when I left. This Thanksgiving, I’ll be in middle-of-nowhere, Virginia, so I don’t know how I’ll maximize the promo’s value.
I’ll talk a little more about this promo on November 18, when I remind you to sign up. For now, mark your calendars and get ready for free money.









I have earned millions of points, primarily though credit cards, to travel the world in first class for pennies. This blog will show you how to earn and redeem points to do the same!
Not sure if this one will work until listings of businesses come out, but try a day trip to Shenandoah National Park and a meal at Thornton River Grille. Great food and beer list, split the bill however necessary for a free, great meal.
Hopefully I’ll be shopping some quaint small businesses on the Maine coast this Small Business Saturday…Christmas gifts for everyone…
Might head up to NYC to “donate” to some local business in the wake of the storms. They could use the cc charge and I can use the good local food.
