I love Amex!!!

Despite the naysayers, I would like to profess my love to AMEX! I have a Blue card ( nothing special, no AF), and I purchased an apple I touch for my son for Christmas. He recently dropped it lost about 50% of the screen. After to had a small temper tantrum, I looked at my benefits and it included purchase protection for accidental damage within 90 days. Hmmmm, sounds like my situation. I called, opened a claim, and the rep said although she can't guarantee, she doesn't see why they won't be able to help me! This benefit alone is worth any possible FR to me...say what you want, but I LOVE AMEX! Update 2/17: My account has been credited the full purchase price! They didn't even ask for the damaged product.

In my view, if you use the card as intended, I don't think there's a Card company that treats their members better than AmEx.

Wow, pretty sweet deal. Definitely negates the whole pointless warranties they try to shove down your throat. Two thumbs up for AMEX.

My son better thank his lucky stars, because a new one definitely was not in his future. Hopefully there is a case I can buy this time...

That's awesome. I need to remember to put all future large purchases on mine (not that I have many...)

I've never used purchase protection but do let us know how it goes!

 

I'm kicking myself right now b/c I purchased a laptop awhile ago on a non-AMEX card and just outside the standard warranty the thing decided to go haywire. Smiley Sad

 

Needless to say my new laptop was paid for with my new SPG Smiley Happy

Try an Otterbox. Those things are pretty durable.

No problem. They're a bit more costly than other cases but they are good for people who tend to drop their iPods/iPhones. Smiley Happy

Yes definitely Otterbox or Lifeproof. They are great cases! A bit expensive as one other poster said but they swear by their product.
