[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.

Does Amex officially accept returns when a store will only give store credit but does accept return?
Amex will not credit if the store give you a credit

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?
Which $95 card will keep this benefit?

Recently bought an expensive pair of shoes. I wore them a bit around the house and the felt fine. After a week of normal wear outside I found them to be uncomfortable and got blisters. Store wont take them back. Do you think Amex will cover?

What happened? Thinking of keeping a pair of shoes that might not get more comfortable....

I can't seem to find the return protection option anymore in my benefits in any of my Amex cards. Is this just me? Or is it moved offline? Or already discontinued ( before 1/1/20)
 

EDIT: it seems to be hidden. When going to the claims department through baggage insurance claim, its there. Weird.

If I bought marriot points (legitimately from here, I knew what you we're thinking  ;))

Do you think that would be eligible?

I'm not sure if it falls under either of these exclusions:

25. negotiable instruments (including, but not limited to, promissory notes, stamps, and travelers checks);
26. cash and its equivalent (including, but not limited to, gift cards and gift certificates);

I bought them to top off my account for an award (the 30% off was why I pulled the trigger) but now my plans changed.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

I know the return attempt has to be within 90 days, how many days later can I make the claim? IE If I brought something in June return denied August can I make the claim today?
