[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.

Data point: I filled a return protection claim for around $70 on 01/06 and got my refund 12 hours later.

Basically everything is.
Just don't do this on groceries ;)
Not cell phones or jewelry or fine art or consumables, etc. If they are prescription they might not be as I don't think custom items are IINM

Let's hear some stories.
-So, what's the "best" / most expensive item you've used Return Protection on and gotten to keep?

-What's your best Purchase Protection story? (e.g. Amex refunded you the cost of the item, didn't ask for it back, and then you got it fixed/replace for cheap/free or sold it).
That's asking for trouble. This thread itself is dangerous enough without going into such detail

Were they all the same type of shoe? If so you can say you thought you only need to do 1. Regardless I think calling and saying you made a mistake and its the first time you filed a claim (if it is) and you want to adjust it.
Next time be honest. Also 37 Hail Mary's will help.
Thanks for your help. I called them back and fixed the claim. They want the receipt faxed. Anyway other way to send it besides fax?

You can just use a free (or free trial) online faxing service. Google one.

I see your point, but it's just stories of people getting lucky by Amex not asking for items back. No one needs to out themselves.

It's the fact that it would be aggregated in one place and calling attention to it

Has anyone had any luck using Return Protection on a watch? Even though, it's supposedly not covered.

Ive never done it on a watch but I would try Bec I once had luck with something that was officially not covered. You have nothing to lose.

I don't see cell phones mentioning in exclusions or limitations to Return Protection. Why anyone thinks cell phones excluded? Can someone provide a link if they find? I am seeing here..
