AmEx Small Business Saturday

[lybbtthl]

i'm not talking about that, i'm asking if any square account is automatically eligible for the free SBS credit to work or if something is required to be done

[sky121]

Bad, bad, BAD idea.



Psst... buddy... here, wanna buy an F/R?

Im only doing cards that aren't in my name or from my account. 
Even though my name doesn't show up on the charge so I wonder how risky it really is.

That.

[lybbtthl]

That.

i'm afraid i dont understand what your talking about?

Tread lightly... they are unfortunately very good at this stuff. I know stories where people got slammed for charging their cards at a company they merely had a position in, to meet spending thresholds. Amex came down hard, saying "you can't pay yourself".

Did you see which part I bolded in your quote?

but the bottom line is, every square account regardless if it's listed or not or if it's personal of biz, is eligible for the SBS credit, correct?

TTBOMK, no. What makes you a "small business" if you never indicated you are one?

[yeshivaman]

and that you have 50 legit people. 

I used SS#s and DOBs for everyone.

so how then do i go and make my square account into a small biz?

Is "the map" no longer working? Or am i looking in the wrong place?

The terms also mention "in-store"...anyone have thoughts on amex requiring the card to be physically swiped?

I clicked to go to the map a few hours ago, it said: "Coming soon", unlike yesterday where the interactive map was up and running.
Hopefully it means they are adding more merchants to the list.

anywhere I can read up how this Small Business Saturday works? I dont get it, is it only at select merchants ? im confused how this works

[sky121]

Spend $25 and get back a $25 statement credit.  Must be spent at a small business. A non chain store.

You also have to register any cards you want to get the credit back on. You can register starting on this coming Sunday at shopsmall.com

If you have a local grocery store that is not a chain and they are open on that saturday ngiht, you could stock up on gift cards or food. Just register as many AE cards as you have and go use them at $25 a shot. you will get all that food for free.

so this is only on a Amex business card right? also is there a limit how many stores I can do it ? can I go to 3 stores who are open motze shabbos and spend $25 and get back like total $75 as long as its not a chain store?
