Shop Small celebrates the small businesses that do big things in our local communities, while also rewarding Cardmembers for showing their support for where they live. American Express® launched the first Shop Small in the UK in November 2013. This will be the eighth Shop Small American Express® is running in the UK.

To help support small business to recovery following the national COVID-19 lockdown, American Express is launching the Shop Small Offer earlier this year. The Offer, which is the biggest ever, will run for 12 weeks from 22 June to 13 September, and rewards Cardmembers to support their local small businesses by shopping small, giving them £5 back when they spend £10 or more at participating outlets. The Offer can be used once per participating location and at up to 10 different shops. This means that Cardmembers can earn up to £50 back during this year’s Shop Small. 

Check out our interactive Shop Small map to discover businesses that welcome your American Express Card. Please note, that due to these unprecedented times, the Map should be used as a guide only. We would encourage people to contact the business directly, to ensure they’re open. You may also see Shop Small signage in some shop windows and in-store indicating that they accept American Express Cards.

Shop Small is specifically designed to support physical small businesses in your community, and therefore online-only businesses are not eligible.

If the FAQs on this page do not answer your specific question, call us on the number located on the back of your American Express Card.
