[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.

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.

If JOS A BANK is 90 days whether clearance or not, then it won't work.

it would work if clearance is shorter or not returnable. doesnt look like it is the case here though.

Agreed, thus

1000 per card. Spg and prg are two cards each at a thousand

Is it true?  Always under the impression that it is per SSN.  Therefore, no matter how many cards you have, it's only $1k max per calendar year.  Or, was I wrong?

Return protection works for items that cost $300 or less and can be used to return up to $1,000 of items per card per year.

been a while since I submitted my first RP back in November. Just submitted another claim today for a video card that I purchased from newegg. thought my video card was dying since my monitor kept on going black. turned out that it wasn't my old video card, but power supply :(. attempted to return the new video card to newegg but the item is non-refundable, replacement only. hope amex will get me covered.

What benefit is there in actually posting dollar amounts on a searchable forum?

Any more likely for items greater then $300 to give issues? I wouldn't think so but figured I'd ask. Am looking to buy something that will price out around $304. If I do use RP I would simply receive $300. Correct?

On a side note, I assume this would still count towards spend CMIIW.
