They definitely weren't planning on opening before we spoke to them. I told him there are people with 100s of amex cards that wantv to use them at seasons.
I believe you, it's just bizarre considering they opened special last year and the year before. Who'd you speak to there?

I cannot seem to understand why amex does not require the 3 swipes in 3 different stores? how does it support small businesses when a $30 charge is divided in 3?
They are not necessarily intending one to swipe 3x$10 in one store..

I was in my fav restaurant and asked them if they will be open on SBS. He said they will be open but not participating. I don't get that, I thought they just have to be an eligible merchant, I didn't see anywhere on the site that they have to opt in. Did I miss it?
What does that mean... Just walk in there with your amex cards and ask them to swipe

That's what I thought. There's no such thing as "not participating". He was insistent that they weren't participating this year. I was like, whatever, I'll see you on November 29.

3 x $10. If you do 1 transaction of $30 you'll get 1 $10 credit.

It only counts as spend until the credit posts.  So if you hit the threshold before the credit posts, then it helps.  but if the credit posts and you still havent hit the threshold it wont count as spend.

IME That only applies for actual returns. Promotional credit, platinum airline credit, platinum global entry credit, extended warranty/return/loss protection all do NOT count against the spend.  If you spend 3K and do 1K of purchase protection you still get the 3K spend bonus.

I have no experience with purchase protection so I cant comment.  But I do have experience with platinum airline credit and it has only counted toward the threshold as long as the threshold was reached prior to the bonus being granted.
