[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.

Interesting. When are your oldest / newest claims from? Did you get an explanation (email / letter) for each $50.95?

So you didn't get any letter / communication from Amex regarding the $50.95 they gave you?

Also, when are your oldest and newest claims from (approximate month / year)? Trying to figure out what period people are getting these credits for.

I got a $50.95 check for an account that was closed over a year ago. I had sent back an item in excess of $300.

Nope. You only have a 90-day window I believe.

Can't hurt to try. I think I once got credited for a claim 91 days after purchase.

YES!  after the 90 days window you still have approx 45 days to file a complaint so if it "happened" in the 90 days than you could file the claim even if its already 3.5 months from the purchase date

because I and amex dont know when the coffee spilled he just wrote that he bought it 3.5 months ago but maybe it spiiled already 3 weeks ago so if thats the story he can file a claim and say that the laptop was damaged in the 90 days

Can I close my amex card in the middle of a return protection claim? I still have other amex cards active.

They say the card needs to be open to get the claim completed. Might work anyway but if it's a large claim I'd wait.
