I "saved" some money last year by "aking advantage of American Express Small Business Saturday. Every year AmEx has a "Small business" day where you get $25 credit for each eligible AMEX card when you use the card to shop at a local small business. My wife and I have 8 AMEX cards, so I bought a bunch of $25 gift cards from a local seafood restaurant (owned by a Chinese). This helps offset the annual fees we pay for keeping these AMEX cards.
