How to earn cashback from Amex this Christmas

American Express cardholders could earn £25 cashback for supporting small businesses.

On Saturday, Amex launched its Shop Small Offer for the tenth year running. This scheme allows American Express credit card holders to earn £5 cashback for every £15 spent at participating small businesses across the UK.

You can earn £25 cashback at the most from this scheme which runs to 12 December.

“As we mark ten years since the launch of the first UK Shop Small campaign, this season’s offer enables Cardmembers to support their local businesses at this vital time and earn themselves valuable cashback on their festive purchases and everyday shopping,” said Nikki Edelman, Vice President at American Express.

The £5 cashback is only given per participating small business and isn’t valid for website purchases.

If you hold an American express credit card, you’ll likely have been contacted about this offer. So if you haven’t received any communication from Amex yet, look in your email junk folder.
