When planning a trip, we think about the destination, the sights, the history, and the fun that we’re going to have while away from home and our everyday lives.
Unfortunately, our travels don’t always go off without a hitch. Planes are delayed. Luggage gets lost. Limbs are lost in a horrific dismemberment. Wait, what?!?
One final piece of the puzzle is evacuation coverage, which you likely do not have unless you have one of two popular premium credit cards that offer it. One has a more generous benefit than the other.
In the eight years since that trip, I’ve learned a lot about the benefits of various cards. We’ve used the points from different welcome bonuses to travel for free, and in preparation for our upcoming travels that include two months each in Ecuador and Spain, I’ve started to study the travel perks that individual cards have.
