[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.

Status on my purchase protection claim says 'closed', no email received so far, what does this mean?

If I have multiple (4+) items I want to return, does it matter (or help) if I put them all in the same claim (assuming they're all over $100 each).

Can I submit a claim of over $300 (e.g. $500) and receive full payment as long ass all items are under $300 or would I have to split things up into multiple sub $300 claims?

-1, I called and they said closed means the case is finished no indication as to whether it's approved or denied. It was actually denied according to the rep.

Split it to under 300.theyll split it if u don't. Just easier if you split it.

Was denied because it was consumable, I hoped I'll have the same luck Dan had with his whiskey..

I believe that was a purchase protection claim.

just had an indiegog purchase denied becuase:"
Quote
Under the Limitations section of Return Protection, it states: ... "Items not eligible for a

refund are: ... services and additional costs (such as installation charges, warranties,

shipping, or memberships);"...
gonna call in tomorrow. is indiegogo some kind of membership? or that i got a perk and they view it that i simply invesed in the guy and the perk is simply that - a perk? therefore there is nothing to refund?

What happens if I want to return a item greater then $300? Do they refund up to the $300? And would they then make me send in a $800 item for $300?

I bought some glasses for $330
so it was worth it for me to take the $30 hit plus shipping and get $300 back

if it's $800 prob pays to eBay it and take the hit that way

Does the $1000 limit on return protection per year count against the card or the account
