As restrictions continue to ease across the UK and shoppers return to the high street, American Express is once again running its Shop Small Offer to support local businesses after an extremely challenging year.

For 3 weeks from 5 – 25 June 2021, Cardmembers will receive a £5 statement credit when they spend £15 or more at participating small businesses. The Offer is eligible for use up to 5 times per Card and once per location.

Cardmembers can enrol for the Shop Small Offer from Monday 17 May 2021 via the American Express® App or their Online Account and can search for participating stores via the Shop Small Map.

In December 2021, American Express will launch a second Shop Small Offer to coincide with Small Business Saturday. Details of this and dates will be shared nearer the time.

Shop Small is designed to help independent retailers across the UK as they recover from the impacts of Covid-19. American Express has a long history of championing the high street and is proud to have been a founder of the first ever UK Small Business Saturday back in 2013.

Terms, locations and payment restrictions apply. Full terms and conditions apply.
