In theory the list/map specifically for the ShopSm promo ... but keep your list or those not accepting then report them to Amex next week and you should hopefully be credited anyway .

Other retailers (not small!) are listed here:

I didn't take full advantage of this last year. Looking at the map there are a few "businesses" that I know are definitely residential properties.

If we phoned up to tell Amex this wasn't a walk-in business location do you think we'd get the credit? Did anyone claim for these kinds of errors before?

Ohh, you mean like 'Jacks tab house', 'Mickeys cheap imported beer and wine emporium, and 'Leannes' Botox Salon'? They might have a sumup card reader?

Happy belated birthday to TM, silvercar and saversue. Hope you all had great days celebrating. :T

Freewheeling I honestly don't know how you do it. 40 miles in a space of around 36 hours. :eek: I once walked 20 miles in a day and I was shattered - so much so that I couldn't get out of the bath after so my mum had to help. It really was a :rotfl: moment.

TM you're baking is just amazing. And those whoopsies are just Great buys. You too elaine.

Good to see Sainsbooby colleagues making up the rules re: refund. I was told you can get half a refund in the form of magic beans.

Home made KFC - looks delicious bubbs. Yum yum get in my tum. 70p lamb - holy smokes. :eek:

Chips: vinegar, then garlic salt, more vinegar then some saffron 'cos I'm posh innit. :cool::rotfl:

mhoc 5000 emails - as the young ones say: !!!!!!?! :rotfl: Also free chocolate is the best - especially when it's G&B.

braveheart outstanding work with all the mobile offers, keep ;em coming.

mrs lds hope you're ok.:grouphug:

I've only had a cursory look at the small shops map so far.

One shop that stopped trading in the summer I hoped would be on the list but its not listed.
Also one restaurant that changed hands a few years ago but it was still on the list with the original name for 2 years - sadly that's vanished now

Our local civic hall is listed again but I am not sure what you would purchase there - tickets or maybe a bus pass possibly. I doubt if they would take amex though ...

One strange one is just called Unit 6 - its on a small street and according to Google its next to the butchers but its not a shop as such, just a back extension of a small department store - and this store has never been on the list ...

TM (and anyone else having trouble with Quidco bonuses)...

...there's a friendly chap/Quidco rep over on HUKD who answers to people's questions. His name's Joseph and is very helpful when it comes to Quidco problems and resolving them.

There was a gambling offer a few weeks ago (£10 stake = £80 cashback) and people's cashback tracked at incorrect amounts. I emailed him and he sorted it all out within 24 hours and made it payable. If you have problems then I suggest you message him, his email address is: joseph@quidco.com

I'm guessing these are the registered business addresses for websites or people that run stalls at craft fairs etc

I seriously doubt Shop Small retailers would appreciate Amex sending folk to their homes and I wouldn't be comfortable knocking on the door to someone's house asking if I could go in and browse their merchandise!

I just wondered if anyone had helped point out these types of retailers to Amex in the past and been rewarded with the £5 credit...:think:

Thanks for the laptop ideas. Sent them to OH for his review.


Just found a find me a sample for coke on the darkside. Mine is on its way. I used google assistant.



YOU -> “Alexa, ask Send Me a Sample for a Coke”

ALEXA -> “Sure, which sample?”

YOU -> “Christmas Pack”
