—————————————————————————-
If you have any primary or secondary AMEX business cards that were not targeted for $20 off a $100 purchase at any small business from now through 11/28 you can try clicking on this link to register them.
If you have any primary AMEX consumer cards that were not targeted for $10 off a $10 purchase at any small business from now through 11/28 you can try clicking on this link to register them.
For the link to work, the card will have to either be the only card on the login or be the default card shown at login. You can change which card is the default card by clicking on “My Cards” in the right sidebar after logging into the AMEX site and clicking on the star to the left of any card.
Or you can remove a card via this link to enroll the card under its own login.
Note that you must use the multi-tab method to enroll multiple cards in one login. If you’ve already enrolled cards in one login you’ll have to remove the previously enrolled card to enroll other cards in that login. Or you can remove the unenrolled cards and create a new login for them.
I have a login with several additional user business cards that didn’t have an offer for Shop Small In November.
However after clicking the business link above the offer showed up by the default card. I left that tab open without saving the offer and opened a new tab and changed the default card on the login. Then I clicked on the link again, logged in again, and the offer appeared by the new default card. I rinsed and repeated until I had a tab open for the offer on all of the cards on that login and then went quickly between the tabs and successfully saved the offer to all of the secondary business cards on that login.
After that I went to enroll cards on other logins that didn’t appear to have the offer. The link didn’t work for all of them, but it did work for most.
The $10 off $10 consumer offer is free money, though unfortunately there have been no reports of that working on secondary cards this year. The $20 off $100 business offer isn’t free money, but getting 20% off gift cards for my local grocery and pizza stores is nothing to sneeze at! Others have had success using the offers for private school tuition, charity, etc.
Post if the links work for you and where you’ll be shopping small in November!

“Sorry about that! The offer you selected is not available for this Card. Take advantage of available offers by selecting the ones you like.”
Opened in May. Only card in the login.
@buruch:
If the card was opened this year it probably won’t qualify.
I got the same error for a secondary card that is 6 years old on its own login…
Worked for me. Thanks Dan!
Dan, what’s you take is this going to be Amex Small Business Saturday offer this year or is that offer coming at a later date? tia
@Yoe:
Awesome!
@wick:
There will not be this year. These targeted offers are this year’s SBS.
Being that they roll out the offers gradually, it’s possible it’s working for people who already (just) received the offer on their accounts.
Still no love on my cards, even the biz cards opened over a year ago. Thanks though!
@buruch:
Definitely not. I checked the login the second before and none of the cards had it.
My method definitely placed it onto all of the cards for that and other logins.
Sorry about that! The offer you selected is not available for this Card. Take advantage of available offers by selecting the ones you like
This is for all the authorized users on an account that already had the offer saved on the primary card.
Do you have a link like this for the cell phone or cable offer?
Very interesting. It worked on my biz Gold card opened 10-11 months ago. Did not work for the other two opened 2 months ago.
does amex serve get targeted for shop small?
@Joseph:
Are they on a separate login than the primary?
@Joseph:
Nope.
@Stephen:
That seems to be the pattern.
@yisroel birnbaum:
I haven’t seen any reports of seeing it on Serve yet.
Do everyday cards also get this offer. Also, if I have 2 starwood cards, is it unrealistic to think I will get this offer twice?
I tried the link to open into my account to see if I got the small business Saturday offer and this is the message I got “Sorry about that! The offer you selected is not available for this Card. Take advantage of available offers by selecting the ones you like”. I tried it on another account that has my everyday card and I got the same message. I did get the promotion on one of my starwood cards yesterday, but not on anything else.
I found the following offer on my Amex Everyday Card:
Shop Small in November Spend $10 or more, get $10 back
@Rochel:
Yes.
You can get it on all of your cards.
@Rochel:
It’s not good for personal cards or for recently opened cards
@Bracha:
Yes, read the related posts at the top of this post please.
Dan, we seem to know that cards opened this year aren’t getting the offer, but have you seen the offer on any older cards where you got new AUs this year?
Yes
How likely it would appear on its own later this week for a Personal AU , where AU were issued this year, and main holder is more than a yr and main was targeted. delta gold. anyone has seen AU on this card targeted as well? thank you
Unfortunately failed for me (same message as others). Opened the card in 4/2014, just gave it its own login via your removal link, and then clicked your link. No dice. On an Amex SimplyCash, fyi.
Worked for both my primary & authorized user even though I just opened in March!!
Did not work for AMEX Business Gold opened 12/02/2014
How do I register a small business to be qualified with the offer?
worked 4 me thanks
20% off yeshiva tuition is nice.
“Sorry about that! The offer you selected is not available for this Card. Take advantage of available offers by selecting the ones you Card is 2 years old. First card in the login. Oh well. Thanks for trying!
No luck… SPG Biz opened circa 2 months ago.
Or try this link for personal cards:
https://online.americanexpress.com/myca/accountsummary/us/accounthome?request_type=authreg_acctAccountSummary&Face=en_US&ViewName=OffersDetails&lgnsrc=amexoffers&ContentSrcID=3TnSpU8bV3oHTzCrnVBS0Q%3D%3D&v2#
I would like to know if anyone got any offer on a personal card for the au too? Can you do the same thing you said for the business card open it in multiple tabs?
@Card: So far, NO!
I have an online account with 2 cards they were both not targeted (I just checked); then I opened your link and got the Sorry…. message; while staying logged in I switched cards and on the other card and I got the offer.
now I will try to add AU cards to my online account before saving the offer.
@Thanks:
I don’t think you have any chance!
how can I add AU on my online account?
Tried new link for personal on 5 cards – none worked
originally I got a response that I am not eligible but now I tried again with that link and it worked.
thanks dan
@any:
Awesome!
You’ve already enrolled in this offer on your Card ending in -84004. Take advantage of available offers by selecting the ones you like.
Thanks! Worked on all my primary consumer cards. Didn’t work on my business card which I opened a few months ago.
worked on card open for more than a year.
did not work on a recently opened card.
@Chanan:
You need to delete that card from the login to register more cards via the multa-tab method.
@Welder:
Nice!
This link worked for my personal card which I have had for less than a year, thanks!
My bluecash everyday is more than 3 years old but no offer.
I have tried every way you suggested and have not been able to add this offer to my primary plat,gold card or any secondary and au cards which are all under different logins. I just go this offer on my primary spg and a very old blue card (not cashback) when you first posted it on Sunday. What am I doing incorrectly?
PS All above were personal consumer cards.
Dan – will removing a card that is already registered result in the offer being unregistered from that card? Thanks!
@Lyla
Call Amex. Find a helpful rep which will give you a $10 credit to your account
Link worked for my personal primary starwood card
thanks
@Bob:
Nice!
@Elliot:
No.
@rachel:
Great
after logging in via the attached link it allows me to add the offer to the primary card. how do i add it on to the secondary users exactly?
logged on to my everyday amex card and the $10 off $10 purchase was there!
Thank you so much! Created a new account and got on all the cards that didn’t get at first, and then I registered them right back in my original account!
This link did not work for me. I even tried to change the default card and tried again, but still no luck. All cards have been open for over 1 year
This sucks! With 10 cards in the family, NONE has this offer!!
If you remove a card using the removal link, can it be put back on after the other cards have the offer saved?
@Chaim:
Yes.
Pers. 0 – 5
Biz 0 – 2
AMEX doesn’t like me.
This link trick is amazing… I wonder if we can do the same thing with some of those rarely targeted but lucrative offers.
As stated in the post, I followed the instruction and it worked great. I was able to add 10 on 10 offer to several personal ones that weren’t targeted and 20 on 100 offer to all business ones that are at least 1 year old.
Not one of my 9 cards have this or get it, makes me sad!
Has anyone been able to get it on secondary personal cards (such as by creating different log ins for each card)?
Tried every trick mentioned above but I keep getting the same message “You’ve already enrolled in this offer on your Card ending in -13003. Take advantage of available offers by selecting the ones you like.”
The recently opened cards didn’t work, but the one opened in Feb had the offer automatically. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for more offers next year.
