So where can you go with 250,000 Velocity points? Pretty much anywhere they or their partners fly! Brazil, anyone?
Last year, the Aussie Shop Small promo ran in November which is the usual time for the similar promo in the USA. This year, it’s coming a few months earlier.
Shop Small Australia
You can register Amex cards issued by Amex, the NAB, ANZ, CBA & Westpac,.
It’s not quite as generous as last year where you got $10 for spending $20 so this year I won’t be going out of my way to hunt down eligible shops as the only useful one near me is a pharmacy. Still $5 is $5 so I will def use my various Amexes at shops near me if possible!
Amex still doesn’t have the popularity here as it does in the USA and not many small shops accept it but I wish they would as typical Aussie Amex cards offer double the usual points a co-branded Visa or Mastercard would.
Help us support local businesses this August and get up to $50 credit*.
Register your American Express® Card and spend $20 or more in a single eligible transaction at up to ten different participating small business locations between 1 and 31 August 2014, and get a $5 credit for each purchase per location.
Don’t miss out – this offer is limited to the first 50,000 Cards to register.
*T&C’s apply.
I do have a minimum spend to make on my new ANZ Visa & Amex combo for 50,000 Qantas points………………..if the cards ever get here! I’ve been approved but apparently there is a delay in shipping them out as the promo is so popular!
