Your card comes with it a range of added value benefits and insurance to cover you for a range of circumstances from travel to fraud.

Travel insurance and accident cover

The following is automatically covered with our gold and platinum cards. To validate the service, all you need to do is use your card to pay for the trip. This will also provide cover for up to three people travelling with you.

  • Personal travel accident cover while in transit on public transport – up to £100,000 for 4 people including the cardholder
  • Travel delay insurance – up to £25 per hour up to a maximum 12 hours
  • Delayed and replacement baggage insurance – up to £50 per hour up to a maximum of £300 per person
  • Document replacement – includes courier charges, reprinting and sending faxes up to a maximum of £1,000
  • Legal Expenses – up to £25,000.

Additional cover for platinum cardholders

  • Emergency medical expenses – up to £2 million worldwide
  • Personal accident benefit of £250,000 during your trip when travelling on Public Transport, £25,000 at any other time while you're there
  • Personal liability – up to £1 million
  • Evacuation and repatriation expenses – up to £1 million
  • Legal expenses – up to £25,000
  • Cancellation – up to £3,000
  • Personal baggage replacement – up to £1,200
  • Hospital benefit – £25 per day (for a maximum of 30 days or £750)
  • Lost Money – replacement up to the value of £500
  • Emergency Transport should you fall ill – up to £10,000.

Since personal travel accident cover isn't comprehensive travel insurance and only provides cover for bodily injury leading to death or permanent total disability while using public transport on a business trip outside your home country, we suggest you consider additional cover.


Cardholder misuse insurance

Should you find that one of your cardholders has used their card inappropriately and you're unable to get them to reimburse you, you could be covered for up to £15,000 per cardholder, and up to £1,000,000 each year for your business as a whole.

This cover also extends to contract and temporary staff. You will be able to claim for all fraudulent card transactions that took place in the 75 days before discovery of your loss, and for any further transactions that may come to light in the 14 days following you notifying us of the loss.


Purchase protection

When you buy eligible goods worth over £50, you're protected against accidental damage, loss or theft for the first 90 days, subject to an excess of £50. If any of these occur within that period, you must notify us of the incident within 45 days of it happening, and the police within 36 hours.
