Paying for your purchases with your American Express Card makes sense, because almost anything you buy using your Card is covered by Purchase Protection, so it'll be either replaced or refunded for up to 90 days after the date of purchase if it's damaged accidentally or stolen. Good to know if your mobile phone gets taken, or you accidentally drop a piece of delicate electronic equipment the first time you take it out of the box. Because, as long as they were bought on the Card, you're covered.

Insurance services arranged through American Express International, Inc (ABN 15 000 618 208) AFS Licence No. 237996. Purchase Protection is issued by ACE Insurance Limited (ABN 23 001 642 020) AFS Licence No. 239687. Subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of the policies.

Refund Protection offers guaranteed product satisfaction on unused eligible items purchased entirely with your Card. If you try to return an unused eligible item within 90 days from the date of purchase and the establishment refuses to take it back, this cover refunds the purchase price, up to $500 per item. So if you've just got your new rug home and discovered that it doesn't match the lounge, don't worry - because we'll take it back when the store won't.
