[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.

Anyone else getting this error?
It happened to me too and I realized that when I took my time filling out the claim, I would automatically get signed out of Amex website and then get that message. Open another page with amex and refresh every 4 minutes or to stay signed in.

So, didn't read the T&C clearly enough and it seems that if you purchased something in Canada, it's not eligible!  I ordered clothing for one of my kids and now I'm up the creek...

No issues here, maybe try another browser. I have issues with certain browsers sometimes.
+1 sometimes it says too many attempts try again later , and I realized with Incognito, no issues

Idk what you’re story is but I tried doing RP on a pair of eyeglasses & was denied & called back to explain that I was just returning a frame not lenses & was then approved.

Did someone experience having an easier process with Amex RP and PP when using the platinum or the gold card vs a no annual fee card?

My wife bought a TV stand for $400 and has since decided she no longer likes it.  The retailers 14 day return period has since passed.  Since it is over $300 can I still use return protection?  Thanks for your help.
