[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.

That's been my assumption. When filing a claim they ask why won't merchant take it back.

Should it work with final sale stuff that is not returnable at all?

DVD/CD rom drive on new laptop isn't working. Bought on my SPG. Applied for purchase protection. Just received reply from Amex that they won't cover it.

Where did you buy it? Tried returning  it direct? Doesn't have a warranty?

Did anyone try return protection on Jos a bank item bought in clearance claiming that the store wouldn't take it back because it was bought on clearance?

Are handmade items bought on Etsy automatically disqualified?

Why should that be excluded? That's the exact intent of the program.

def not automatically. The exclusions list
"2. one-of-a-kind items (including, but not limited to, antiques, artwork, and furs);
3. limited edition items"

Handmade does not necessarily mean one of a kind.  You could probably get it covered.

OT but why would you buy from them? Don't they sell nazi and hitler regalia, but not israeli or confederate flag stuff?

Where'd you hear that? A search for "Israeli flag" brings up many items.

I am asking specifically regarding jos a bank because its possible that returning clearance items is a ymmv.

Again as Noturbizniss mentioned the "clearance" is not YMMV. That is the whole point of this. The store might be and the item might be but you can check the Amex website for covered items, the clearance point is not ymmv.

Why should it be? Nothing in the terms says that.

oh, i thought you meant RP terms. JAB website implies all returns are 90 days. doesnt say it excludes clearance. Pretty sure I returned a clearance shirt to a store.
