It's back: get £5 off £10+ Amex spend when you 'shop small'

American Express has brought back one of my all-time favourite promotions. From 1 to 16 December 2018, you will receive a £5 statement credit for spending £10 or more in-store at participating small shops.

Importantly, you must register for this offer. Simply log onto your Amex account, and register for this promo in the 'My Offers' section on the statement page. 

The offer is valid once per participating retailer per card. If you have more than one Amex, register them all to bag the £5 rebate multiple times. 

You can find participating shops on this map here. For further info, visit the Amex Shop Small website.
