[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.

If a receipt states "Final Sale" on it, is that excluded from return protection?

That's kind of the whole point in return protection.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Hi, I bought the Pixel 3 with the fI deal, I make my monthly payment with Amex Preferred.
Now the screen is cracked, chat with Fi and they told me it's not covered.

What is my best option here ?

To file a claim for repair / replacement ? What to tell them ?

If anyone could help/suggest I will really appreciate !

Thanks

No, AMEX won’t reimburse you if you doing it on purpose.

Not that I am encouraging this sort of behavior, but how would AMEX know if this was the motivation to buy from that particular seller. I highly doubt they would even check to see if it was available for a lower price on the same website.

What do you think about holding on to a return past 30 days to avoid paying the return shipping fees? Unethical? Abuse of benefit? Or not.

Funny how the $95 card will still have this benefit, while the $250 PRG will be loosing the benefits, that's one card that needs more benefits. Your paying $250 for what?

I'm actually curious with most items when you actually try to return the product after 30 days do they tell you sorry we can't take it back or do they make one-time exception rules?
