[Updated With More Changes] Major Changes Are Coming For American Express Benefits! Master Chart Of What’s Being Added And Removed - https://www.dansdeals.com/credit-cards/major-changes-coming-american-express-benefits-master-chart-whats-added-removed/


$300 per item, 1K per card per year. So if you have an SPG card and a PRG card you'll only have 2k of total RP coverage, regardless of how many AUs you have on each card.

If you are unsure if an item qualifies for RP, then instead of asking for opinions here (slightly better than asking medical advice on facebook mind you), PUTPAC and ask the RP reps. You don't need to give your name or card info, just say you have an item or you will be buying an item and the store has a crappy return policy and want to make sure if there is a problem you can return it.


Direct number: 800-225-3750

or
Return Protection:  www.americanexpress.com/return This is for when, in the first 3 months, the original seller won't accept a return, and the product is still in new condition.
Purchase Protection:  www.americanexpress.com/purchase This is for when, in the first 3 months, a purchase is lost, stolen, or broken.
Extended Warranty: www.americanexpress.com/warranty This covers only what the original warranty covers and extends it for up to 1 year.

Amex can approve RP claims even after the card is closed/cancelled, though YMMV.

Would that be better than talking to the claim representative in person?

Probably not, unless you don't like talking on the phone :) I had a similar situation - I filed a warranty claim under the wrong credit card by mistake. When they asked for a copy of the statement, I realized the mistake, so  I faxed them the correct statement along with a note explaining, and they approved the claim without my having to call.

I already called and was told that unfortunately... too bad... then I asked for a supervisor, and now I'm waiting for a call back.

Claim for 79 dollars, no hassle, immediate credit.. didn't have to send it back. Heard they were getting tougher, but #thatwaseasy

IIRC I did that a few months ago. It took a couple of tries for them to actually receive it, though.

Yep! It might just have been a glitch or bug when the feature was new.

Any idea when it was introduced? Any other blogs cover that yet?
