American Express has brought back its annual Shop Small campaign for 2024, which runs from 1-31 August 2024 at more than 4,000 participating businesses across Singapore.
Registration opens from 1 August 2024, and registered cardholders will save S$3 off every purchase of at least S$10, up to 5X per card. You can register multiple American Express cards to enjoy the offer multiple times, and there’s no cap on the maximum number of registrations.
Shop Small is also open to DBS and UOB AMEX cardholders, who are normally excluded from AMEX Offers.
| โ What are AMEX Offers? |
|
AMEX Offers are opportunities to earn bonus miles or Membership Rewards points, or discounts in the form of statement credits. These are available to Platinum, True Cashback, and KrisFlyer cardholders, and can be found in the โOffersโ section of the AMEX app or web portal.
Registration is required, and some offers may be targeted. |

From 1 August 2024 onwards, cardholders can register their American Express cards for the Shop Small 2024 promotion, which runs till 31 August 2024.
- Registered cardholders will receive a S$3 credit every time they spend S$10 or more in a single in-store transaction
- The offer can be used up to five times per registered card
- The cap is applied on a per card basis, so if you register two AMEX cards for example, you’ll get a total of up to S$30 back across two cards
- There is no restriction on the maximum number of registrations, so go ahead and register all the cards you have; doing so doesn’t deprive anyone else of a slot
Do remember that you’re only entitled to a single S$3 credit per transaction, so a S$20 transaction won’t earn 2x S$3 credits unless you break it up into 2x S$10 transactions.
Credits should appear on your card statement within five business days of qualifying spend, but may take up to 90 days from the offer end date. In my personal experience, these post very quickly, usually within a couple of days at most.
