New Amex Offer Shop Small, Spend $10+ & Receive $5--TheCreditShifu.com

American Express today announced its largest-ever global Shop Small Campaign, that includes a commitment of more than $200 million over the next several months to help jumpstart spending at small merchants. According to the Small Business Recovery Research conducted by American Express, 62 percent of U.S. small businesses reported that they need to see consumer spending return to pre-COVID levels by the end of 2020 in order to stay in business. Considering how many small businesses were hit due to the economic fallout caused by COVID-19 and healthcare restrictions that followed, this new Amex offer is very timely, and can help some small businesses stay afloat. 

“Small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities, and now is the time to join together and help them rebound from this global crisis, because their success is critical to job creation, strong economies and thriving neighborhoods,” said Stephen J. Squeri, Chairman and CEO of American Express.
