Do American Express cards offer extended warranties on purchases?

Yes, some American Express cards offer extended warranty benefits on eligible purchases. This benefit extends the original manufacturer’s warranty for an additional period, typically up to one year. Here are some key things to remember about American Express extended warranty:

• Eligibility:
• Not all American Express cards offer extended warranty benefits. Check the benefits guide for your specific card to see if it’s included.
• Original Warranty Length: The extended warranty only applies to original manufacturer’s warranties of five years or less.
• Coverage: The extended warranty covers the same terms as the original manufacturer’s warranty.
• Maximum Coverage: There’s usually a maximum coverage amount per item and per cardmember annually.

Financial Advisor Tip:

• Review the extended warranty benefit details for your specific American Express card.
• Consider if purchasing a manufacturer’s warranty or an extended warranty from a third-party retailer might be a better option depending on the cost and coverage terms.
