Random News: AMEX Small Business Saturday, New Serve Card Design, BankAmeriCard Deals, and Staples Easy Rebates
Good morning everyone, I had a great time at the OC Meetup yesterday afternoon. It was a great mix of new and old friends/readers. I was even given a giant birthday cupcake by my friend from Long Beach. My birthday isn’t until November 27 (Thanksgiving Day), but I gladly appreciate early birthday presents. I will probably have the next OC Meetup on Saturday, December 13, time and place TBD. I will post more info closer to the date.
Other than my birthday being less than 2 weeks away, the other major news item that was announced today was enrollment for Small Business Saturday (November 29) has begun. If you log into your AMEX online account, you should see the Small Business Saturday offer at the very top of your offer list. You can add the offer to all of your AMEX credit and charge cards.
If you have never participated in Small Business Saturday, the concept is simple. For every $10 or more purchase you make at a qualifying small business on Small Business Saturday (November 29), you will receive a $10 statement credit. You can receive up to 3 $10 statement credits per registered AMEX card. From my understanding, you can use the same AMEX card to make all 3 purchases at the same small business. See the link below to see which merchants qualify for Small Business Saturday.
