[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.

Filed a claim on a closed card and they responded with the letter saying I will be credited. How will I be receiving the credit?

They said i have to go to for a estimate to a place which is on the MHF warranty list. Anyone have any experience with this as they do not have any in the tri state
i sent to someone else and amex denied my claim and told me its not under warranty anymore cus someone unauthorized opened the computer. not a smart idea if you plan to do that.. it may get the same response. im still trying to deal with it.

I thought cell phones were not covered under RP. Did you buy from an individual or merchant?

I was actually thinking about buying an "old new" musical instrument (what they sometimes call "deadstock"; old stock but new terms of condition) from ebay but it is sold through an individual not recognized company. The seller, not wanting to sully the "new" condition definition of course has not tried playing the instrument and the return period is like 3 days. So I was wondering if AMEX would of help here in case I got a lemon. Anybody have experience with this unique situation?

.
How bout you read the terms?  Cell Phones are not excluded.

If the item is in brand new condition is should be covered.  How about instead of asking about your specifically unique situation you PUTPAC and actually ask them.  What is this ridiculous fear with picking up the phone

They asked for receipt for phone purchased on ebay. Its in brand new condition, however its listed as "slightly used", any chance of them taking it back?

It does as seller listed condition on title as "slightly used"
Will this matter?
