American Express Giveaway?

Hi all~

I enetered the American Express $25 giveaway but I was an hour and ten minutes late for the start.

After I put in my info it seemed like it wasn't submitting at all, the website was overloaded. No confirmation.

Today I got an email saying the giftcard was coming...

Did anyone ele have a delay like that? :dunno:

 

I got my confirmation think within 5 minutes after entering.

so wow good for you then! Better late than never

 

I never got one.

 

I got an email confirmation within a few minutes of submitting. My husband tried with his Facebook after that and it told him they were all out of cards.

 

I was happy to see the confirmation letter.

Now if the card will just actually show up.

 

yes i got confirmation i was getting it also!

 

my hubby and I both got one, and yes our emails were delayed by several hours.

 

I did this promotion last year, and I even marked on my calendar for the Saturday that I had the free $25 American Express promotion. The only problem is that all of my usual stores aren't small businesses! I remember checking the list of participating business and the only one I had ever purchased anything from was Ace Hardware, and I rarely go there. So I ended up not even using the free $25.

Does anyone know where they are going to spend their $25?? What do you plan to buy there?

I signed up again this year and I could use some ideas. :dunno:

 

there are a few good eateries & restaurants that were on the list near me which we eat from quite often. Thinking of ordering food(free :yum from one of those places. I can only eat left over turkey for soooo many days :kekeke:

 

where is the list??? i would like to see what stores accept it in my area.:wiggle:

 

on FB, you can just look up "SmallBusinessSaturday"

On their page, towards bottom. You can enter your zip to get local participating places.

 

ok ty :bowdown:

 

I'd like to see the list too

 

received my $25.00 American express gift card today! :jump::xmasgrin:

 

I received mine as well and I never got a confirmation email!! Anyone know if we can use these before that day?

 

It looks like it's valid anytime, now though the expiration date....Got mine today!

 

I think you can use them anywhere where american express is accepted. It doesn't say anything about having to be used at a small business.!

 

on that page that has the list of small businesses its for people trying to get the $25 credit back on there statement. There is no way they can make sure everyone uses those giftcards we got at small businesses.

 

maybe I'm just confused

 

yeah i was wondering about that.on the card it says anywhere American express in accepted.so it doesn't have to be a small business:jump:
