[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.

Do any Bonvoy Amex cards offer RP?

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

It can take longer or shorter. A week is probably about my average.

If I pay for part of an item with an Amazon promotional credit (the $20 Amazon Moments store credit in this case) or a gift card, does that void any return protection on this order?

Slightly off topic has anyone used extended warranty a cracked cell phone screen? Touch screen sometimes unresponsive.

I tried to make them pay the screen and they came back as it's not covered by manufacture warranty, so either us.

Interesting. Several years ago, They refunded me the total amount spent for the phone. It was <$200 with an upgrade at the time. Way before Iphones were worth $1000+

Do not see why it would not be eligible.

I wish to apply for Return Protection for an item over $300.
Under "Item cost with taxes (USD) excluding shipping fees" do I put in the full amount that I paid and hope to receive $300
or insert that the cost was $300 since that is the max they give?

thank you

I recently bought an item that was $1200 but the merchant returned $200 due to pricematch so on statement it shows $1200 then a week later it shows $200 credit. If I file an amex return protection request would it be denied for this reason or would it have any affect?

I do not see why that would matter. As long as you had not paid for part of it with another payment method you should be fine (provided the item keeps to the terms).

Late to the party but here's my 2 cents

Should be fine. They may ask for explanation of the refund but otherwise will be fine
If I pay for part of an item with an Amazon promotional credit (the $20 Amazon Moments store credit in this case) or a gift card, does that void any return protection on this order?
If it's a gift card it's not eligible (terms say must be paid entirely with the card). If the moments credit shows on order documentation as a promotional credit or coupon it's fine (speaking from first hand experience)

The Moments credit shows on the receipts as "American Express Credit". Thoughts?

Is it not limited to $300?

It is so you will only get back $300

On my recent submission for $300+ and $60-ish item, the $60 got approved right away, but the $300+ item was pending for a little longer.

Is it normal that $300 coverage has increased scrutiny of some sort?
