American Express sponsors "small business saturday" which is the saturday after Black Friday. You can register every Amex you have, and you will get a $25 statement credit on each if you spend $25+ in a single transaction at a small business on their map.

For example, I have 3 AmEx cards:
If you have an AmEx and you've added an authorized user, the AU card also qualifies as AmEx gives separate account numbers to each AU. Non-Amex Amexs (like Jetblue amex or Citi AAdvantage Amex) also qualify, but prepaid amex cards do not.
Also, if you're scared of credit cards and are still using a debit card to pay for everything, you can read my credit primer here

For example, I have 3 AmEx cards:
- My favorite local restaurant is on their map, so I can go and get 3x$25 giftcards for free
OR - My local liquor store is on their map, so I can go and get 3 $25+ bottles of liquor for $25 less than retail
OR - Local pizza place is there so I can get two large pies and a dozen wings for $3 after statement credit for lunch/dinner on saturday
