[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.

If any one know, if the item qualifies for return protection if partially ( about a $1) was paid using Amex Reward points and the remaining with Amex card?

T&C's say everything has to be paid for with the card. Idk how they would view using MR as payment, worth a shot to file I'd say.

I'm pretty sure my return protection was accepted even though I used 1 MR also

i'm not sure what your T&C says but mine clearly say "For your item to be eligible for coverage, you must have purchased any portion of the item's price with your Card within 90 days.

If I purchase a used item from an individual using Paypal goods and services using an Amex card, would I be eligible for return protection?

I'm filing claims for 3 items from 3 separate stores/purchases. Any reason not to put them on the same claim?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

not sure what terms you are looking at but every card states explicitly:
"Return Protection offers you an extended return policy on eligible items charged entirely on an eligible
American Express® Card."

nope


In other news the  RP form amex sends is now prefilled with whatever info was put in the original online submission.

I mixed up between ''return'' protection, which you need to charge the full amount on the card, and "purchase" protection, which is covered if any portion of the items price was put on the card

If I use AMEX on Amazon, return policy is 30 days, to qualify for Return Protection, I only have an additionally 30 days to return or is it a different amount of additional days to file return protection?

Have these started taking longer to approve? Haven't done one in 1/2 year or so, but this one is almost 2 weeks, and the couple I did over the last year always took less than a week once documentation was sent.

Any recent DP for an item more than $300, did they refund $300 or reject the whole claim?
