If your charge posted after Saturday and was swiped on Saturday call 800-297-7500 (tell them you used your cards on Saturday, and also mention all your cards you used).

such transactions(involving cash back) may be a violation of the merchant agreement

Can one register an Amex gift card and have that credited $25 if used at a small business? 2ndly, if there is a store that has 5 or 6 locations does that constitute a "small business"?
ANYONE?

There is no way to tell for sure. Try it and see.

JW would it be an issue for taxes, would you need to report it as income?

+1, do you plan on telling the IRS that you were trying to exploit Amex's SBS promo?...

(I haven't seen it posted anywhere on DDF, so I'm posting it here) It seems Fedex will be giving out 30k $25 giftcards on 11/1/2011 @ 1pm, first come, first serve. I think there's more info on their facebook page (you have to 'like' it or something).

When does your AMEX warranty kick in?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I made the mistake of not buying it on an Amex to get 10% CB from Discover. In the end it seems (hopefully) that Sony will repair it for free, but it's taking them forever and their tech support/repair CS is (surprisingly) worse than Dell's IME.

You mean buy from the store on Nov. 26 and hope for the best? Seems risky! There is no way to ask Amex beforehand as to what qualifies as a small business? Furthermore, what about my original question as to utilizing  Amex gift cards, will Amex recredit them for the $25?

Most likely donating to any small -  medium sized charity will work. (I doubt that AMEX requires it to be a business and not charity).
