[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.

till they make that decesion?
IME it's either right away or they ask for documentation (itemized receipt), in which case it usually takes roughly 2 weeks from when they receive the receipt.

Quote from AMEX "Coverage - You will only be reimbursed up to $300 per eligible item, "
What is the din if there is, say, 2 items on one charge at 300 each, can I claim each one separately?

yes. Each item needs its own claim.

+1, I also got that email and didn't have to send back my $300 nexus.
Now my second Nexus, started having charging problems right before 90 days, filed for return protection, took them 11 days, but they refunded me $300, and I can keep my Nexus! (And now I figured out that it's the recharger that's making the problem, not the phone.  :D) Amex is really growing on me.

Allow me to clarify:

"Yup. [Chase and AMEX] aren't in the same league. [AMEX n]ever has been."
After changing the presumed proper nouns, your sentence is now correct.
If you don't care why would you comment?

Then you didn't file it under Return protection.

Don't get too excited yet. IME, sometimes the phone rep will approve you, and then the agents will review it and send you a request for documentation. You aren't in the clear until the refund posts.
