[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.

That's the standard text in every claim, whether its RP, PP, or EW.

I just searched my email for that paragraph and found that I've made 13 claims over the years - 4 RP, 3 PP, and 6 EW (although a couple of those were re-submissions of existing claims). That sounds excessive to me, anyone care to chime in with their totals? 

EDIT: Upon further investigation its only 3 EW, they send 2 emails for those claims each time. All  7 of my PP and RP claims were paid out within 2 days, whereas all 3 of my EW claims took at least a week.
EW?

Is it now unanimous that they no longer request that you mail items in? If you look at this thread from years past, some people said they had to send their item in. Has AmEx's policy changed as far as anybody knows?

I've had 4 completed claims this year. 3 under $100 and one was $450 (got the max credit of $300) and none have been asked to be sent back.

I did an extended warranty claim tonight ($180), and they said that EW is never approved instantly (not like RP). Is that right?

This is RP or PP?
