[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 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.

I wouldn't believe this if I didn't see it with my own eyes!

I figured I would try my luck first with Marriott:

Quote
Dear ,

We have submitted a refund for the 16,000 points to your credit card. You will see this refund on your credit card statement within 1-2 billing cycles. Since we are refunding the points we have also removed the points from your account.

If you have additional questions, I will be happy to assist you further.

In closing, I would like to thank you again  for being our guest and a valued member of Marriott Bonvoy.
 
Sincerely,
 
Lisa Miller

If an item is $300 + tax, do they also refund the tax or the total including tax is capped at $300?

If I purchase something now with a return policy of 45 days, will they cover that for return protection since it was purchased in 2018, or I won’t be able to file a claim after December 31st?

Are purchases for a new item through ebay covered?

Goes by purchase date so it will be covered

As has been discussed numerous times in the thread (search for eBay), yes they are covered

What’s the consensus on getting RP for cell phones on amazon marked as “new”? Since amazon could be considered a “second hand store” I wonder if the TCs disallow it.

Also wondering if there’s any other fine print in there regarding cell phones from amazon.

Does anyone have experience using return protection with the Wells Fargo Propel (no annual fee)? The T&C are pretty much the same as what Amex in-house cards have with the same exclusions and limits (300/1k) but the protection is through someone else: Warrantech, an AmTrust Financial Company.

Did anyone confirm with Amex that you can attempt a return during 2020 and still be covered on purchase date was 2019 ( on the cards that are losing benefit) ?
This is the consensus, but I wanna know if it's been confirmed??

Denied claim when return window was closed and the I had just noticed that the item was damaged. It was a winter coat that we took out of the packaging when it got cold. I refiled claim as a damage within 90 days of purchase. So will see if they approve that claim.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
