About Shop Small®
With Shop Small, shoppers, small businesses, and civic leaders come together to support small businesses and give back to their local communities. Shopping small adds up to big things and together, we can make an impact.
American Express believes that small businesses and the joy they bring are at the heart of every neighbourhood. That's why we created Shop Small, to encourage people to show their support by shopping small and local.

Please remember to spend responsibly and only buy what you can afford to repay. If you have an American Express Credit Card, you won’t pay any interest on purchases if you pay off your balance in full every month by the payment due date. If you are just making your minimum payment on a Credit Card, it will take you longer to clear your balance. If you have an American Express Charge Card, please refer to your current Cardmember agreement for payment details. You can find information about managing your Account in our online Help Centre.
