Shop Small by American Express celebrates and supports local business owners who do big things for their communities every day. This year, small businesses needed our support more than ever.
During the Shop Small Offer period, our Cardmembers are rewarded for showing their support by using their Card at different participating small businesses on local high streets up and down the country.
We want to hear from Shop Small supporters, whether you are a Cardmember or a participating small business.
We'd love for you to share your Shop Small experience with us, and we may feature your story on our website to continue inspiring small businesses or Cardmembers alike.
