Does this have any fair usage policy on it? I've used it at 17 shops now and there's still a lot more on the list!

There's no fair usage policy as far as I know. It's one credit per store per card.

I have an MBNA Amex - the first payment came through in two days but the other two retailers I've managed to use the card at since (all others refused) haven't credited a fiver back and I've never had an email. Is it just limited to the first £5 transaction? From everyone else's comments i didn't think so.

When did you make the purchases? They can take a few days to appear. I didn't receive any emails when I paid purchases over the weekend but I did however receive the credits for them four days later.

The £5 is one credit per store per card. HTH.

Went to two retailers who were listed on ShopSmall over the weekend and they clearly told me they don't accept Amex. I complained to Amex stating that I had to use a different card and received a £15 credit on my statement. Just a heads up for anyone else faces the same problem it might be worth contacting Amex.

Did you call Amex? I have 3 retailers where they refused Amex and I emailed Amex and they said yeah, sorry, but there was no credit offered

It all depends on who you get on the phone at Amex, when you complain.
I had 2 good and 1 terrible, but got my money.
Don,t accept them saying no.
They even refunded me 75 minute call @ 10ppm= £7.50, arguing the toss about transactions from shops of the same group.+ my £10.
I,ve had 3 e-mails to fill thier surveys in regarding my 3 phone calls, I will put it in writing about the bad one, and praise the other 2 good-uns.

I sent them a message via the secure message option on the website.

Have just totted up my shop small tally.......

71 transactions, netting me free goods to the value of £355!!! :beer:

I am really going to miss this promotion! I hope its an annual event.

Now to hit the foursquare promotion!

Have already got:

£30 - gap
£10 - Argos
£20 - Tesco

Going to London on Sunday and intend to get 3 x £25 AT Harvey nic's and 3 x £25 at Liberty. Maybe a few coffees and paninis at Starbucks as well to get maybe 2 x £5 there!!!!

Has anyone else added up their tally?

You can pay £5 for a £10 voucher at the moment for Starbucks here. I've already added this to my SB account and it works

I think I'm on about £150 from the £5 deals and also getting stuck into foursquare and got £50 from Gap for west end vip. I'm already considering extra additional cardholders for next year ;-)

Oh no, that happened to be in a flower shop the other day, was a bit annoyed, especially as the paper they wrapped my flowers in had the Amex logo on it! Almost went into My Old Dutch to get a pancake on the way home tonight, thanks for the info

It is a little late now but I started to say amex was the only card I had and sure enough most places took the amex. My o,d Dutch Kensington took mine and it worked and cash back given! :money:


Wish I had stared this earlier in the month. I could have had one seriously healthy months of pod, itsu.....the list goes on. Thanks AMEx for forgetting to notify me. Any chance of a weeks extension?

What am amazing offer, picked up so much stuff at pharmacy's for baby and me plus so many little cakes and lunches! So sad the deal is over and can't believe I only looked into it last Sunday!
