You guys remember this thing, right? Spend at least $10 at a registered "local" merchant this Saturday and receive a $10 credit on your next statement.https://www.americanexpress.com/us/small-business/Shop-Small/

$15 less than last year.Last year I bought my girlfriends Christmas present on small business Saturday to save a little bit of money. At $10 I'm not going to make a specific trip.Can you register two amex cards? Maybe I'll do that.

^^^yes you can. I registered four last year and then went to the local piggly wiggly and bought $100 in gift cards for free.

Small businesses fucking HATE AMEX because of their fees.

The local people employed at Target and Home Depot were thankful I shopped at their store yesterday.Also, I know this isn't TSB, but below is a link to an article a friend of mine at FEE wrote last year on the topic:http://www.fee.org/the_freeman/detail/debunking-the-shop-small-saturday-rationale#axzz2m8pZKwad

11/30/2013 10:31:13 AM
^^ why do the cashiers at Target or Home Depot care if you shop there or not? they're going to make their wage regardless
11/30/2013 1:29:42 PM
Not if people don't shop there.[Edited on November 30, 2013 at 3:38 PM. Reason : ...]
11/30/2013 3:38:13 PM
you think those two giants were going to close if you didn't shop there yesterday?
11/30/2013 4:04:27 PM
Just bought two bottles of wine at a wine store near my home.Yeah, last year was 25 dollars credit.

^ Because emotions.
11/30/2013 5:50:29 PM
because the statement was "they were happy because I shopped there yesterday"a local Target or Home Depot would not lay people off if one person chose not to shop there on one day of the year
11/30/2013 6:33:33 PM
Yes, and one day buying something at a "mom and pop" will save them from bankruptcy.

Both Home Depot and Target are spending $5+billion on stock buybacks this year, I think they are going to be ok.
