Travel Insurance

  • Lost Luggage Insurance

    Covers luggage that is lost or damaged while you're traveling when you pay for the trip with your card. File a claim through the benefit administrator if an airline or carrier loses your bags. Coverage limits and eligible travel types are defined in your guide to benefits.

  • Travel Assistance Services

    Get 24/7 access to a travel assistance hotline that can help with medical referrals, emergency transportation coordination, and trip-related problems while you're away from home. Use your card to pay for travel to be eligible for these services. Assistance is advisory — actual costs for services arranged may still be your responsibility.

  • Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver

    Covers collision damage or theft on a rental vehicle when you pay for the full rental with your card. Decline the rental company's own collision damage waiver at the counter to use this coverage. Coverage terms, vehicle-type exclusions, and geographic limits apply — review your card's guide to benefits for details.

    Resets: Yearly
  • Trip Cancellation/Interruption Insurance

    If a covered event like illness or severe weather forces you to cancel or cut short a trip, this benefit can reimburse non-refundable prepaid costs. To be eligible, charge your travel expenses to the card. Review your card's terms for the full list of covered reasons and any limits.

    Resets: Yearly
  • Trip Delay Reimbursement

    When a covered trip is delayed beyond a qualifying threshold, the card can help cover necessary out-of-pocket costs such as meals and a hotel room. Pay for your travel with the card to activate eligibility. Check your card's benefits guide for the minimum delay period and coverage limits.
