So hopefully this past Saturday (11/24/12) many people participated in Small Business Saturday. The purpose was to drum up some business for the small businesses that are the heartbeat of America. If you were smart, you even registered your Amex card(s) for a free $25 statement credit from Amex for a transaction over $25 at a participating small business.
The Mrs and I did register our 2 Amex cards and this is what we got:
1) Lunch at Killer B's BBQ Bar & Grill on State Street in Santa Barbara, CA - total bill $37.84 which ends up $12.84 after the $25 credit from Amex.
2) Taxi ride to the airport from Aaron's Taxi Service - total bill $36.15 which ends up $11.15 after the $25 Amex credit. This taxi ride was actually completed on Thursday (11/22/12) but posted to Amex on Small Business Saturday.
Both $25 statement credits hit on Monday (2 days later).
The next day, the Mrs realized that she had another Amex card (issued by Bank of America) that we could have registered for another $25. Oh well, we'll remember next year. Amex's promotion was both easy and appreciated. Well done Amex!
