        Haha it's hard to find good, unpaid help nowadays..

        • 😂😂😂😂😂

    Not appearing for me, looks like it's selective

    • Probably will appear on 1 October onwards tbh

  • Anyone know if you can spend $10 in the same place 5 times or is it limited to once per shop?

    • +1

      Same place 5 times is fine

  • This is now launched for everyone I believe.

    • Yes. Have added it this morning.

  • Does anyone know if this is stackable with the $30 back with the Amex NZ Dining Collection? (so a total of $35 cashback if I spend over $150 at a restaurant that is eligible for both cashbacks)

    • And is it stackable with the dining credit? (I.e. Gold Rewards card has 2x $100 dining credits)

      Great potential savings if you also get a First Table voucher.

    • Any dining collection is also on the ship small list you can share?

      Try Bin Inn Lincoln Road. We split our purchase into multiple $10 transactions and have gotten the $5 credits for all of them.

  • St pierres sushi is not on the list this time. Anyone try and report back please

    • +2

      interesting, looks like they updated the shop list sometime today. I have a screenshot a few days ago that shows St Pierres on this page.

      https://directory.americanexpress.com/en-NZ/shop-small/

      Thanks for the heads up

    • +1

      Hmm. I can find St Pierre’s again now. They must be messing with the list right now..

      Hmm, so if you open the page on a mobile device it loads a completely different map to if you open the page on a non-mobile device…

      The mobile version of the map has St Pierres but the other doesn't. LOL

      • I only opened the map on my mobile and couldn't see st pierres on the list

        • That’s bizarre. I just opened it on my mobile and can see St Pierre’s. Searched “St P” and clicked the magnifying glass.

          https://files.cheapies.nz/upload/5619/5210/img_6164.png

          EDIT: Mystery solved. Appears the page that shows the list of shops has some kind of persistent cache. When I open the same page in incognito, St Pierres is no longer appearing 😵‍💫

          • @simch: Honestly the map isn't very helpful. Always have to double check with the retailers before paying. I found quite a lot of places don't accept Amex anymore

            • @Superpower21: I’ve had varying luck checking with retailers too. I’ve asked a few times before paying and been told “no we don’t accept Amex” or “no idea sorry”, only for me to insert and swipe my Amex card and the transaction go through.

              • @simch: My friend went to urban soul Cafe before and they didn't accept Amex even lo it was on the Amex map. A lot of retailers also prefer other cards instead because of the high fees. When I joined Les Mills, I asked a few times, they said they don't accept Amex. But later I found out they do when my visa expired and I tried my Amex.

      Anyone willing to take one for the team as I only use this promo with St Pierres.

    • I walked past St Pierre sushi K Road yesterday and they had the Amex shop small ticket on their window.

    • Took one for the team. Bought a pack from St Pierre's today. An hour later still no email notification. Probably excluded this time, which is a shame.

      • +1

        Quite often they don't email you, just wait for a few days.

      • They don’t seem to email consistently anymore. If they’re showing the sign in store then surely they’re on the list.

        • No sign at the shop I visited though. Will report back once the transaction is posted.

  • Can confirm I've now started receiving my $5 credits. Tokos Tacos is on there which is a huge highlight!!

  • Anyone got credit back from st pierres yet? So far, I only got $5 back from Les Mills membership.

    • +1

      Nothing yet. I think it’s not on the list. I’ve opened the link of 3 other different devices and none of them show St Pierre’s.

    • How did you mango convince Les mills to accept Amex?
      I asked at the reception and said they don’t accept Amex

      • They always told me that too, but my visa was expiring and I thought I gave Amex a go and it went through OK. So just tell the reception you want to update your credit card details.

  • Any good places in Wellington??

    • Arobake. No credit card/PayWave surcharge either!

  • +2

    The Shop Small map is so bad.

    At least 3 places I've specifically gone out of my way to and they don't accept AMEX

    • Agreed.. I report it to Amex but they do nothing. No compensation and no correction of the map either.

      • +1

        Wonder if this is false advertising? I also notice a large number of places on the map does not accept Amex or no longer exist or been rebranded.

  • I was looking for somewhere in Nelson/Tasman, but couldn't see anywhere. Is it just me or is there nowhere in Nelson available?

  • is there a limit per merchant? I got two times of $5 back before, but still waiting for the other three from the same merchant over a week now..

    • +1

      I had 4 redemptions at Fortune Favours bar come through fine. I didn't even know they were participating so that was a nice surprise.

      • thanks to confirm, I will patiently wait then… I mean checking every five minutes like a mad cheapie!! lol

        • +1

          It takes really long time this year. I went to a Cafe last Wednesday and only got $5 back today.

          • @Superpower21: it just seems a bit inconsistent. I've got my first two like three days after with email confirmations as well. But no emails for the other three and it's been almost 10 days!

    • no merchant limit. I've used it at Tokos Tacos like 14 times now :)

      • lol is there a promotion limit??

        • +1

          yes, but I have 16 cards lolllll

          • @simch: Wow! So you got all the cards on Amex website? 4 principle cards and 12 supplementary cards 😱

  • I got $5 back for shopping at H&M 😂

    • Which branch as some H&M does not accept AMEX which is really weird.

        Auckland CBD. The server said no but when I saw the Amex logo on the eftpos machine I tried and it worked.
