No more regrets from American Express!

“Regrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention”

Maybe Paul Anka and Frank Sinatra had only a few regrets, but I’ve had plenty. Especially when it comes to shopping. Let’s see….

  • Those open toe stiletto’s that looked GREAT on the rack, but were a virtual greenhouse for growing blisters.
  • A BetaMax – need I say more?
  • The hula girl lamp that I thought would be kitsch, but I had no room for. 
  • One of those holiday sweaters >>>>

What if you had a way to RETURN of those regretful purchases you made, and it was AFTER the 30 day return policy? What if you got 180 days (approximately 6 months) to return that sweater you bought on sale MONTHS before you wore it, only to find that it made you itchy? Or 180 days to bring back the toaster oven that fizzled and sizzled after the 3 month warranty wore out? I don’t know about you but I’d like that.

What if you got….
  – A longer return time

with requests for returns up to 180 days from the date of purchase.

Plus….
 – Free shipping
covering the cost of return shipping and handling charges up to $20 for each claim and up to $100 a year in addition to your coverage.

And you’re Covered for…
  – Premiere protection
up to $600 per eligible purchase (tax included) and up to $2,500 a year for all items.

And it would even cover your…
  – Flexible payment coverage
items purchased with your credit, charge, debit or American Express® Prepaid Gift Cards.
So, if you buy that fancy coffee maker today and you find you HATE Cappucino in 5 months, BACK IT GOES!
Now there is a WAY to return those regrettable purchases up to 180 days later, with American Express Premium Return Protection...and you DON’T have to be an American Express Cardholder to qualify!
For just $49.99 per year, you can shop til you drop, and if you make a purchase that you regret later, simply return it. Of course there are certain restrictions (like tickets to an event you didn’t go to, food products, etc.), but personally, I’d rather know that I can return those $400 boots that I never wore (who would buy boots in Florida?), than be stuck with looking at them in the corner of my closet (yes, I’ve done that too many times).
Since the holiday season is when we seem to try to grab all of the bargains we can, it seems like a smart time to protect our buying mistakes. Check out American Express – Premium Return Protection for more details on the service. I think this might just be ONE purchase that you WON’T REGRET.
 NOW FOR A LITTLE FUN!!!!!

  168. My most recent shopping regret was an outdoor, propane single burner cooker and 2 propane tanks – thinking that it would be easier and faster to do my canning on that than in the (hot) kitchen on my electric stovetop…not!

  255. I got rid of it, so no photo, but I once spent a TON of money on this shirt that was too small and was this horrible sleeveless sweater in bright red that was sparkly and looked like I was covered in hair. Thought I was hot stuff until I almost ripped it because it was too tight and tacky.

  428. My biggest purchasing regret was a van that I bought. The engine blew up 250 miles away from home during a doctor's visit. We had to use our vacation money to repair the vehicle. Jack Palmer, jcpalmer@localnet.com
