Amazon Has Introduced Final Sale Items, Here Is Everything You Need To Know!

Amazon, like every business, is always trying to optimize and change what they do.

This week, Amazon introduced “Final Sale” items.

It seems to be mostly discounted items that they are looking to clear out of their warehouses. Those are often the items we share as they are at their lowest price ever.

You can see an item’s return eligibility on every product page, right below who the seller is:

For example, this size 10 UGG we shared for just $38.19 is at its lowest price ever and is final sale, while the size 7 is $107.47 and comes with free returns.

The move here is logical for Amazon; they are often selling items at a loss from their purchase price, which is worth it for them to clear storage space, but they are optimizing this system by not losing even more money with returns.

There are still a few great credit cards that will give you return protection; those are now more valuable than ever!

Here is a list of those cards and the benefit details:

The Business Platinum Card® from American Express, The Blue Cash Preferred® Card, The Platinum Card® from American Express, Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant®, Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Card, Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card, Amazon Business Prime American Express Card, or Chase Sapphire Reserve®. AMEX return protection is valid for $300 (after discounts, before tax) in refunds per item and $1,000 per year per card. In most cases, AMEX allows cardholders to keep items that are refunded via return protection, though occasionally, they give a prepaid return label to ship them back. Chase return protection is valid for $500 per item and $1,000 per year per card and requires the cardholder to return the item at their own expense. Eligibility and Benefit level varies by Card. Terms, Conditions and Limitations Apply. Please visit americanexpress.com/benefitsguide for more details.

• With Return Protection, you may return eligible purchases to American Express if the seller won’t take them back up to 90 days from the date of purchase. American Express may refund the full purchase price excluding shipping and handling, up to $300 per item, up to a maximum of $1,000 per calendar year per Card account, if you purchased it entirely with your eligible American Express® Card. Purchases must be made in the U.S. or its territories.
• Eligibility and Benefit level varies by Card. Terms, Conditions and Limitations Apply.
