American Express Small Business Saturday Participation Result

How did your participation in the Small Business Saturday go? Mine is great by the way and I would like to share it here! I had three of my American Express Cards registered for this promotion and on November 24th, Saturday I went out to dine with some friends at a local restaurant in the area. 

Our bill for three amounted to $96.79, so I went ahead to ask our fine server to split the bill into three, charging a third on each card. Here is how it breaks down to, a triple dip:

Card	Amount Charged	Miles earned	Points earned	Credits earned
AX 1	$ 32.26	+/- 160 Alaska Airlines MileagePlan miles, MileagePlan Dining VIP member qualifier for 2013	32 American Express Membership rewards points earned	$ 25 Small Business Saturday program participation credit
AX 2	$ 32.26	+/- 160 Alaska Airlines MileagePlan miles, MileagePlan Dining VIP member qualifier for 2013	32 SPG points	$ 25 Small Business Saturday program participation credit
AX 3	$ 32.27	+/- 160 Delta Skymiles Dining miles	32 Delta Skymiles miles	$ 25 Small Business Saturday program participation credit

Total Spend before credits:$ 96.79                                                          

Total Spend after credits:   $ 21.79 (plus the gratuity)

$21.79, who would have thought? This deserves a toast! Until next year's Small Business Saturday!
