[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.

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.

Want to buy an Uppababy Vista, wondering if I should buy it off Amazon with the discount gift cards.

1) Is it worth it to just buy from Bed Bath for their return/overall item protection?

2) Would the stroller be covered if only part of the total charge was paid for with an Amex?

Thanks!

Agreed - but is it worth not having Amex or Bed Bath protection on the stroller?

I think amex only covers the amount that was paid with the amex card.

Got it - so for something like a stroller, is it better to forgo Amazon 33% discount by just buying from BBD with Amex to get both of their protection coverage?

That's a decision only you can make. See what the total difference in price is, and decide if you would pay that amount for a better warranty.

I did a return protection of a $209 tablet
they sent me 2 letters the first asked for the recite and said that after the claim was approved they would send me details on how to mail the item.
the second letter just said that I got the 209 credit ( and the credit was in my account) but did NOT say anything about returning the item, are they still going to send me instructions about mailing or am I done

the only thing I can think of is that it was a 32gb model that I bought on a price mistake, so maybe they thought it was last years model and not worth it to them to resell

when you log in to aee your claim online, it should say if case is closed or pending documents.

Is Amex return protection world wide or only on purchases made in states?

The official rules say as follows:
Quote
90 Days of Protection - If you try to return an eligible item purchased fully with your eligible American Express® Card in the 50 United States of America, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands within 90 days from the date of purchase and the merchant won’t take it back, we can refund the purchase price.

Glad your purchase got covered. How long it to get approved after sending the receipts?
