[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 they always require you to send in a copy of the receipt? I filed a claim last night and have not been asked to send in the receipt yet.
it takes long for them to send emails. Log in and track your claim, if it says closed, you have already been reimbursed, the email will only arrive in a few days.

You haven't gotten email from AMEX yet regarding your claim?

Just a "Confirmation of Online Claim Submission" email, nothing about asking for the receipt.

They usually follow up with an email requesting docs. I'd give it a lil while longer.

If they don't ask, you may be one of the lucky ones to be credited without having to provide anything.

Does Amex add the 1 yr warranty on top of the manufacturers original warranty, or will they add it if you buy an extra warranty (apple care for instance).

Example- I buy a macbook Pro andApple gives a 1 yr warranty. I buy an additional 2 yr warranty (total of 3 yrs). Will Amex cover a 4th year, or it will be part of the 2 years extra I bought?

Thanks.

One more question:

I already registered the amex online account. When I go to americanexpress.com/return, and would like to claim a return protection.

But under the  ELIGIBLE CARD BENEFITS, there are just two options: Purchase Protection and Extended Warranty.  In other words, No option for return protection.

Is anything I can wrong?

Of course, you can always make it have an "accident", and then file for PP... but that's a discussion for the "Is it ethical?" thread. ;D

One more question about the limitation of $300 per claim.

My understanding is that, for example, I purchased an item priced at $350.
I can still file a return protection for that, but amex can only give me back $300 if this claim is approved.

Is it right?

what happens if I buy an item on an Amex card, and then I close that card. Will I still be able to use the return /damage protection? what if I still have other Amex cards open?

thanks,

Purchased an item on Amazon 6 months ago, price was $29.99, called in that recharger no longer working, filed for extended warranty, no questions or docs asked, 2 days later I had a refund of $29.99.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.
