[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.

Amex Return / Purchase Protection - does the store lose out?
« Reply #942 on: February 20, 2014, 08:07:35 PM »
When amex credits you under return / purchase protection does the store lose the money from the sale?
Asking because something of mine broke within the 90 day purchase protection window. The store offered to pay to get it fix, but I just called Amex and they refunded the full amount, no questions asked.
Does the store lose out from it? If they do, I would have done it their way.

sorry - which is the right thread for this?
Are you sure they don't lose their money? In that case,  I even did the store a favor :)

If you're going to correct someone's grammar, you best make sure you're correct yourself. Just my opinion.

He/she/it - has
They - have

Thank you.

Allow me to clarify:

"Yup. [Chase and AMEX] aren't in the same league. [AMEX n]ever has been."
