[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.

The claim you did last week for the shoes was on the Amazon card?

Is your contention that Amex is currently sending out incorrect information about their own cards in the mail?

I see return protection reappeared as an option in the online claims center for all Amex cards. Did anyone try it on an account where it was previously removed?

I tried making a claim with my Bonvoy Business card and they denied it. They called me and told me it no longer had the benefit. I tried claiming ignorance to see if they’d make an exception but they wouldn’t.

On the plus side, there are still two no annual fee cards that have this benefit. I was unsure whether the Amazon cards had the benefit because, despite being listed on the page with other cards with the benefit, when you click the button to view the terms it shows you the terms for purchase protection, not return protection. However, my wife got a replacement business Prime card in the mail the other day and included in the paperwork was a document dated the day the card was mailed explaining the return protection benefits which I’ve obviously scanned and then put away with other important documents just in case.

Last week I had a claim approved for a pair of shoes for a little under $300 and they did not ask me to send them in.

It seems like around 5 business days from when one submits the documentation.

Did actually you read what I wrote? The Amazon cards have the benefit as of 4/25/20 based on documentation included with a replacement card. Those cards have no annual fee.

Payeco. You do realize you never mentioned it was the Amazon card you did the return on. For all we know you did the return on an everyday preferred card. We kind of assume you used the Amazon card because that is what you said you saw the new terms on it and then by your snarky response, but I am still not sure.

I was wondering the same thing the other poster asked about. I know I have both cards.

Is this benefit still per card? The terms and conditions state that is it $1000 per calendar year per “card member account”. Does that mean it’s per card still?

Do any Bonvoy Amex cards offer RP?
