[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.

CLICK HERE to see the full T&C for the Return Protection on your specific Amex card.

Stuff over the years, nothing recently.

Certain items or thresholds are automatically   closed. When they request receipts it takes longer.
Stuff over the years, nothing recently.
I thought they cover shipping charges with prepaid labels?

Don't think I've ever actually shipped anything back. You got on all of your cards? only one card?
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Wife and I both got letters for $50.95 statement credits for "reimbursement of shipping costs"

Figured I'd open this thread and see a bunch of posts on it.
Just got one for my wife.
4 years ago she shipped back a dress. It costed us ~$5 shipping. We got a check for $50.95

I never had to ship anything back from my account.

It could be now they do.
A few years ago they didnt. It was clearly written in the T&C that we had to ship it back at our own cost.

Must be. Terms now say

Would love to know. I've never had to send anything back, but wouldn't mind a free $50.95.

Also, did you guys receive a paper check or a statement credit?
Did anyone get the $50 for submitting a Purchase protection claim (not return protection?

Are you guys getting $50.95 for each claim? During which period?

The language on the letter sounds like $50.95 per claim.

Interesting. Did you ever have to send anything back? What type of claims did you submit to Amex? Katrina related claims?

Regardless, the answer would be no, as Dan does not live in an area impacted by those hurricanes
