[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.

I think people have been seeing 3-4 weeks total time. You should get an email requesting receipts (assuming the cost is non-trivial; if it is trivial you should get the refund within a couple days) within a day or 2. After that could be anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks.

No point in trying, dvds aren't covered. There's a list of exclusions.

Did not do a second one. When I asked about 2 I was just wondering about what people here tend to do. No 2nd item currently around that needs return protection. It was for $87 and was pleasantly surprised about the ease of it.

I'm trying to churn a business platinum, and close it after a year.  If I have other amex cards, do the "purchase protection/returns/lost item" deals work for the greater account (i.e. across all cards), or do you have to keep the original card with which it was bought?

Looks to me like, unless the company selling is going out of business, you can use this for clothing as well. Anyone do this before?
