Reminder – Only three weeks left to earn those American Express Shop Small statement credits
– RewardsCanada.ca
Back in June American Express Canada launched the best ever version yet of their Shop Small campaign and this is just a reminder to all of our readers that you have a little over two three weeks left to earn those credits for shopping at those small and independent Canadian merchants!The offer The offer is the same for every American Express cardmember and card. Each time you spend $10 at Shop Small merchant you will receive a $5 statement credit. This statement credit can be earned up to 10 times for a maximum of $50 in statement credits per card account. The offer is available for purchases made until September 13, 2020.If you aren’t familiar with American Express’ Shop Small program we have a feature to help you out: A step by step guide to the American Express Shop Small Program which shows you how to find merchants who participate in the program. Essentially American Express Shop Small merchants aren’t your major nationwide chain stores. You won’t find Wal-Mart on the list but you will find mom and pop shops, small regional chains, restaurants and other small businesses…It wasn’t long ago that, with a week’s worth of groceries teetering in reusable bags and possibly a squirmy toddler strapped into the cart, we had to key in a PIN (personal identification number) when paying by credit or debit card. Sometimes you could tap to pay, also known as contactless payment, but limits were typically low, around $50—enough to grab milk and ingredients for dinner, but definitely not enough to cover the bill for a proper pantry restock.
Electronic payments have been set up that way to limit fraud. Tap limits are set by the card issuer and hinge on their risk tolerance, as the issuer takes the hit for unauthorized transactions on your debit or credit card. A low tap limit puts less financial burden on a card issuer if a user’s card is compromised.
That’s changed since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sensibly, to help Canadians avoid touching surfaces like payment terminal keypads, in April 2020 tap limits were increased to $250 from $100 for credit card transactions…
