When we travel we tend to think less, and for good reason, about the things that can go wrong. Why spoil the fun when things usually go according to plan?
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?!?
As unlikely as a joint disarticulation may be while away from home, would it be at least a little bit comforting to know that you may already have a credit card that will reward you for such a calamity?
– Airport Lounge Access – Trip Cancellation & Interruption Insurance – Travel Accident Insurance (payable upon death or the aforementioned dismemberment) – Lost or Delayed Luggage Benefit – Rental Car Insurance – Evacuation Coverage
I’ve only started using this benefit in the last year or two. I’ve been able to take advantage of the benefit about a half-a-dozen times, and it’s been pretty stellar.
Every time you book a flight online, you’re prodded to purchase trip protection. You can’t even buy the ticket without accepting or declining the fee. Did you know that you may already have that benefit as a part of your credit card benefits package?
