[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.

Does purchase protection work in the same way that return protection does, meaning that you can sometimes keep the item?
yes

yes
Thanks. In that case for an item over 300 (380 actually) which I wish to return as it's not working properly it would seem purchase protection is the way to go.

Doesn't sound like a return protection claim.

Recently, they asked me to send a $30 item and credited to my account after 2weeks of receiving it, along with shipping chargers.

Wow! Good for you. I am surprised that at those prices, they let you keep the items.

Just submitted a claim for a $20 shirt. Got an email saying that a rep will review my submission and I will receive their decision in 30-45 days. Here is hoping that I can keep it  :)

Standard procedure, they may ask for you to submit a receipt.

Quick Question. I don't want this to turn into a moral and ethical conversation.

Legally, should the return policy only be used exclusively in case where the store refuses the return?

Lets say, one buys clothes from a company who charges return shipping, is this enough of a reason to use Amex Return protection to save money on the return shipping?

Thanks

IME Amex will also charge you for return shipping, unless you have luck and they let you keep it
I try my best :-\
