Baggage Delay Insurance
Baggage Delay reimburses you for the essential items you may need while on a Trip and at a destination
other than your location of permanent residence. The maximum benefit is
one hundred ($100.00) dollars
per day up to a maximum of five (5) days or a total of five hundred ($500.00) dollars. These maximums
apply to You (the Cardholder) and to all Covered Persons whose ticket was purchased with your covered
Account and/or Rewards program associated with your covered Account.
When does it apply?
When your Baggage is delayed or misdirected by a Common Carrier for more than six (6) hours and for
each additional twenty-four (24) hour period your Baggage is delayed after the initial six (6) hours for a
maximum of
five (5) days, you can be reimbursed for the emergency essential items you may need. In no
event will We reimburse more than
one hundred ($100.00) dollars per day for up to five (5) days. Our
payment is limited to expenses incurred for the emergency purchase of essential items, such as toiletries,
clothing and chargers for electronic equipment (limit of one (1) per device), needed by the Covered
Person during a qualifying Baggage Delay.
Benefits begin on the Scheduled Departure Date and end on the Scheduled Return Date. In the event the
Scheduled Departure Date and/or the Scheduled Return Date are delayed, or the point and time of
departure and/or point and time of return are changed because of circumstances over which you nor the
Travel Supplier have control, the term of coverage will automatically adjust in accordance with the
change.
Who is eligible for this benefit?
This insurance is provided to the Cardholder and all Covered Persons when all or a portion of the
Common Carrier passage fare(s) is charged to the covered Account and/or Rewards programs associated
with the covered Account. If the Cardholder charges multiple Common Carrier fares to the covered
Account for a Trip, each Covered Person is eligible to receive the benefit. Covered Persons do not need to
be traveling with the Cardholder for benefits to apply.
Trips must occur while the insurance is in-force to be eligible for this benefit. Baggage Delay must be
reported to the Travel Supplier to be eligible for this benefit. Coverage will not be provided if the
Cardholder’s Account is closed before the Baggage Delay occurs. In no event will the Cardholder’s
cancellation of the covered Account invalidate or reduce any otherwise valid claim that has already been
submitted.
This benefit is payable on an excess basis over and above any amount due from any other valid or
collectible insurance or any other form of reimbursement payable by those responsible for the loss.
