[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.

Have an item I purchased for over $400, can I use the return protection to credit me $300 (assuming they don't have me send it back to them...)?
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Yes but chances are you will have to send it back, When we did for an item that was $314 they called us up to make sure we really want to go ahead with it and take the loss

I have a $211 suit I want to file a claim with. 2 problems
1. I accidently put the wrong manufacter on form. Should I file a new claim?
2. The recipet says "store credit after 30 days" If they deny the claim because I could get a store credit (like they say they will on their website), can you still claim something like "the store won't even give me a store credit because the tags were taken off?"

They denied my return protection claim as the item  cant be malfunctioning, it has to be in new condition

So file for purchase protection instead.

I never had an issue. Just don't bring it up if they don't. ;)

I just filed an extended warranty claim (not purchase/return protection) and the Chase rep who took the info told me it'll be fast tracked and I'll probably just be advised to purchase a new item once I submit the documentation since it's under $100.

Just did an amex extended warranty for  a watch that cost $65. They didn't even ask for proof that it had a manufacturers 2 warranty and by the next morning I already  had a credit.

I called to have them reimburse for a pair of sunglasses (cost $495).  They agreed to do $300.  I said the only reason in calling in was because I lost the case and singles hit wouldn't take them back.  They let me file under loss protection and in a week a rep called me to get my story and refunded all $495 plus tax (about $550)!!!
