Credit Card Travel Insurance Benefits Often Insufficient for Comprehensive Coverage

Credit Card Travel Insurance Benefits Often Insufficient for Comprehensive Coverage

Many credit cards offer travel insurance benefits, including coverage for trip cancellations, delays, lost baggage, and rental car damage. However, these benefits can be misleading, as their scope and limits vary significantly between cards and issuers. For instance, while some premium cards like Chase Sapphire Reserve and American Express Platinum Card include trip cancellation/interruption and trip delay reimbursement, the specific terms, coverage limits, and payment requirements differ.

This call comes as the Parliament adopted a nonbinding resolution outlining its priorities for the Commission's strategy.
