[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.

Did they require you to fill out a form from a official repair center?

It is for return protection, maybe he filed purchase protection?

I don't think you're the first to post about warranty in this thread :) somehow it seems to be an all-purpose thread

Is PS4 console eligible for return protection? I'm looking at the exclusion and found this:

"Firmware, including but not limited to console games, etc"

Is a PS4 considered firmware? And console games refer to the game itself and not the device right?

I filled the claim form around one week ago online and today I was asked to fill out the Refund Request Form. Does anybody know what it is and where I can find it?

Do they look into how frequently we file claims? I filed something for 250 in oct and i need to file one more for 160. I dont use this card for everyday spending.

How much do you spend on it every month? How frequently have you filed claim? The reason i am asking is because i dont want to be in the bad books and i might just end up keeping it.

I've done it on cards that I basically only used for the returns
