[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.

Returned around $800 worth of clothing (separated into $100 or $200 transactions on same day, returned on same day).  Did not have to send back.

Bought something  and then price went down and an adjustment was refunded. How do I file RP, the receipt has the original amount. Should I enter adjusted amount even though the receipt has different amount?

Can we add purchases from different stores in the same claim?

Does return protection work if the card has been cancelled recently (but purchase was within 90 days)?

Made a claim earlier today, I got no email confirmation and the status says pending receipt of documents but they also did not request any documents. ...

Do I just wait?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

You'll get the claim documents tomorrow morning usually, the day after that at latest.

What about 4 shirts, $39.99 a piece, total around $160, with just 1 receipt. Doesn't fit and not returnable.
Do I do a single RP submission for $160 for all 4 shirts, or must I do 4 separate submissions of $39.99 plus tax, each time submitting the same receipt?

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.
