Amex India has got a new ‘Dine Shop & More’ offer where we can get cashback for spending at selected local stores. This is similar to the ‘Shop Small’ offer that was running a couple of months back but seems to cover more cities and merchants this time around.

Final Thoughts
There is no minimum spend mentioned by American Express, so safe to assume the Rs 200 cashback is independent of the spend amount.
As mentioned, the offer is applicable only after enrolling the eligible card on the Amex portal. While this is a good offer, the tricky part would be to spend at 5 different eligible stores to get the maximum cashback.
But in general it is time Amex starts targeting more cities. With most of the companies extending WFH, not many people are living in the Tier 1 cities to utilize this offer. For cardholders in other cities (Amex issues cards in 25 odd cities last time I checked), some other spend based offer independent of the spend location would be great!
