I\u2019d just like to take today to throw a quick thank you out to American Express. I\u2019ve been a happy cardholder of their Blue Cash Rewards card for quite a few years now and been more than happy with their friendly customer support (for the few times I\u2019ve needed replacement cards or to dispute a double charge from a restaurant) and their automatic cash rewards (each year, it just goes as a credit into my statement \u2013 no need for me to look up my rewards and hassle them for a check).<\/p>\n
Well, they made my Xbox hardware battle a little bit better yesterday emotionally, if not mechanically. As part of my cardholder benefits is their extended warranty program (which is something I\u2019m told many credit cards have as a benefit). It covers all purchases I make on the card for double the manufacturer\u2019s warranty (up to a certain limit, I think).<\/p>\n
Because my Xbox broke after the one year warranty expired but before two years had passed, all I had to do was round up my documentation (the receipt, the statement, and a repair estimate), fax it over, and wait for a few weeks.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, a $99.99 check arrived in the mail for me: enough to pay for the repair of Xbox had I not impatiently ripped it open to attempt to fix it myself. I know it\u2019s just another bullet point on the benefits list to try to lure new members, but thanks, American Express.<\/p>\n
Your extended warranty process was easy and painless, and it made my broken Xbox ordeal a little less painful. It\u2019s everything I could have hoped for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
