Aha. So soon we will see this on the "when will people learn" thread?

ROFL!

I did a single trial swipe at my kid's school, didn't get a credit (or an email). I've asked the school to try to sign up. It is categorized as a charity, any idea if that would automatically invalidate it? I see many other local schools are on the map.

I'm not sure if being listed means much. I searched a specific school on the map. I entered the first word of the school (it has 5 words) & the full name showed up but when I clicked it, it said "no results found".

Interesting. I went back and searched again, clicked on another local school, it did show up completely. I wonder if they're classified differently

It might still be listed from previous years. Dunno

So chalk up a great benefit to having time to play around and experiment this year... I can always swipe at the grocery at the last minute if necessary. I'm just not sure I want to lock that much into groceries. A few months worth of tuition = a year's worth of groceries

How many offers do you have? You have that many primaries? Or are you referring to the business offers?

Business offers, I think I have about 50

Aha. Though that's only 20% off not free.

20% off $5k off tuition = $1k savings = worth pursuing

Yup. No argument there.

Is there a thread of different ideas where one can charge his card? Last year there was a whole list in the Wiki..

I haven't seen a new list this year. It supposedly works for any small store (not part of a chain)

I know, but I rather not take any chances. Like mentioned upthread, there were stores on the list last year, but no where to be found this year.

Check last year's wiki, find a store that you like, and check that it's on the Amex small business map.

That's because last year everybody was gearing up for the big night.

Maps don't mean anything - sorta

Pretty sure T&C says any small biz on map. If it doesn't credit automatically you may not be able to get it pushed through manually if it's not on the map.
