About 13 hours away. This should not be a problem. Don’t you have a favorite place you visit all the time and they would recognize you? Go there and explain exactly what is going on. They should welcome your business.

I agree... I'm just going to be out of the country that day, so I figured someone may know a place where they "already know the drill" so I can give my CC's to someone else to do it for me.

Don't know for sure but farm fresh (grocery) in lakewood is the type of place that would go for this IMO

I never got any response on how a mosad can verify if they are recognized by amex as a small business.  Does anyone here know of a number to Call etc

I spoke to amex customer service they said that when the org registered to accept amex they could of registered either as a small business (and then it would work for sbs) or as a big business, so you have to ask them how their registered with amex

No reason why not.

Edit: It won't work, I though you were referring to the $25 SB card from the recent Fedex offer, that one will work on Square, but the SBS $25 credit on any registered Amex card won't work as myb821 corrected me in the post below.

Confirmed. Farm fresh grocery in lakewood is willing to accept the amex cards to add onto your account balance. If anyone is unable to use the credit themselves (out of town or whatever), and is interested, as posted previously I would be willing to buy your credit off of you for a percentage.

Square isn't a regular terminal, Square 'merchants' don't have a merchant account, they use Square's account/platform.

Which would imply that Intuit GoPayment would work then.
