That is less reflected in the bank that offers it and more in who offers the credit card (visa, mastercard, amex etc etc)

Why are you asking?

Where are you thinking of purchasing from and what are you buying?

Seems like the return policy is only for a item up to $300 and $1000 annually. Which is fine but the $300 per a item could be bad because some items are a little more than $300. Ia this true?


? Guaranteed Product Satisfaction ? Return Protection* offers guaranteed product satisfaction on designated items purchased entirely with an eligible American Express® Card.


? 90 Days Protection ? If you try to return an eligible item within 90 days from the date of purchase and the merchant won't take it back, American Express will refund the full purchase price.


? Up to $300 Per Item ? You are covered for up to $300 per item, excluding shipping and handling, and up to $1,000 annually per Cardmember account.



I just would like to have good buyer's protection whenever I buy something online just in case anything ever goes wrong which it usually doesn't but never say never.

Is there a list where you can't use a AMEX card at because I know there are some places you can't ? :(

Nope.

Most places accept Amex except for a few local stores.

Do you actually think they have a LIST OF STORES THAT DON'T accept AMEX? Are you stupid?

No not AMEX but I thought they could be a unofficial list somewhere.

Is the return policy for AMEX cards really only for up to $300 per a item even if the item was more expensive than $300 ? Like for example if the item was $302 you would only get back $300 right and if the item was $500 you would only get $300 as well right?

I don't think Russian Brides websites have a problem with AMEX, if that's what youre implying here. The US dollar is all good to them, in any form, so you're alright.

I'm using the Visa card from Citibank, i think it's PLatinum Dividends. No problems so far and i've had to dispute a charge before.

How much was the disputed charge for?

I know that AMEX offers it at least in writing. However, MBNA's Platinum MasterCard does have a good service too. I've had a good experience with their buyer's protection.

that is why i buy any tech stuff with my blue cash =)

all other goes to dividend plus.


All your tech stuff is only covered up to $300 so you only get $300 back no mater how expensive the item was.


double warranty

Yes but that does nothing for you if the item you ordered never gets to you and you are out of most of the money. You lose no matter if you have the double warranty or not.

$300 isn't that much.

$300 > nothing.

and if an item gets to you, i think you can dispute the charge?

i have no clue. it's not like i really want to read that 15000-word packet that amex sent me.
