Using your registered American Express Card, you must spend $25 or more at one or more participating small business merchants between 11/27/2010 and 12/31/2010 to receive the $25 statement credit.

Additional terms apply; see Registration Terms and Conditions for details.

I registered my AMEX. I went to Pic 'N Pay because I happen to be in Brooklyn and bought 27$ worth of cheese. The rebate has all ready appear.ed My card has been credited with 25$. So I just got a lot of free food. My SIL registered her card and went to Shnitzys and her card has also been credited back the 25$.

This is free money people! Just make sure you register your card and then go to a store that qualifies as a small business. It expires tomorrow, so time is of the essence. It only works once, so select your store wisely. At the very least register your card and maybe some of your usual shopping will qualify.

Just a note- I have a friend who works for Darche Noam in Jerusalem and he said that donations to Darche also qualify for this:

Register AMEX for Darche Noam

It works anyway. If you've got a business and a personal card it will work. Don't know about two personals.

It doesn't make it ethical though.

There is a limit to the number of people who can get the offer, so even if you aren't concerned about stealing from the company, you are stealing from the other people who won't get the deal because you are double and triple dipping.

I don't think using a personal and a business card is double dipping. They are two separate entities: the business and the person. The personal card bought groceries for the person. The business card bought printer toner for the business. If they didn't want business's to be able to reap these benefits then they should have excluded businesses from the deal.

As for tripple dipping, it does not say per household. It says per person. There are two people in this household that have an AMEX card. So two people get to use the offer.

So I have no ethical problems with my usage of the deal.

From a business perspective, we certainly considered business cards and personal cards as separate when clients used them for funding. The purpose of incorporating (usually required for a business card) is to establish a new entity. We wouldn't even allow clients to transfer funds from one account to the other, even if the client showed proof that the corporation's shares were fully owned by the client.
