A Small Business Saturday bribe, er, incentive, for American Express cardholders!

Small Business Saturday, the local business answer to Black Friday (and now Tryptophan Thursday) calls on shoppers to patronize their locally owned businesses, injecting some dollars into the local economy. Since 2010 us Main Street types have cheered a day sandwiched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, giving local businesses some shopping publicity, and now American Express has sweetened the deal for cardholders who shop this Saturday. Here’s the deal: spend at least $10 at a qualifying local business (you can check the list here) and receive a $10 credit on your AMEX statement. However, it appears there are limited “slots” for cardholders to sign up to get this deal, so don’t delay. You can learn more here.
Thank you very much, American Express. I’ll take your $10 bribe and happily do some local shopping on Saturday in observance of Small Business Saturday. I hope you all will do the same. Happy Thanksgiving!
Update: Frank charged some delicious vanilla hazelnut bulk coffee from his favorite local coffee retailer, Cup o Joe, on Small Business Saturday!
