[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.

Shoes for $200 = no.
Jacket for $200 = no.

Does anyone have experience with other card companies on this?
Especially curious about Mastercard.
Nothing compares to amex.

@av83 Thanks for the data point.
@mmgfarb Agreed. Though my two MC cards have the advantage of up to $500 per return. Might make more sense for more expensive purchases.

Any issues with filing a purchase protection claim on a business card for a purchase that was clearly non-business related (children's binoculars)?

Update: claim already approved <24 hours from submission.  No demand to return item.  Item was <$20.

Ud file then they'd come back asking for repair estimate.
You submit that and they then give you that money
You can also submit paid receipt showing the repair. Maximum payment is original cost.
I assumed u paid in full for the phone and not installment?

Maybe it's because you filed 'numerous' claims?
