American Express Encourages Supporting Local

American Express

American Express are big fans of supporting local cafés and restaurants, especially at a time when consumers are likely to be a bit more conscious about what they’re spending and where they’re spending it. 

Sharing this ethos, American Express has actively supported small New Zealand businesses for many years. It is now bringing its Shop Small movement to local shores for the fourth consecutive year. Understanding the important role small businesses play in helping the economy and communities thrive, Shop Small has aimed to generate the idea of supporting local and, with more businesses now accepting American Express across Aotearoa, doing so can be easier than ever. 

Customers will get more than a warm feeling every time they swipe their card at a local merchant. Thanks to Amex’s best-in-market rewards programme, whether grabbing a coffee, treating themselves to a nice meal, or heading out for dinner with family or friends, they will earn points and rewards on every spend. 

Throughout September and October, simply look out for American Express Shop Small signage in small businesses, and find out more at americanexpress.com/nz/shop-small.
