Insured for delayed luggage with credit card

One suitcase after another lands on the luggage carousel – just not yours. If your suitcase doesn’t arrive on time, it’s annoying. The American Express Gold or Platinum Card gives you peace of mind: The included insurance covers any additional costs.

Accident insurance from American Express

Transport Accident Insurance comes into effect if something happens to you on public transport. It is included with all American Express credit cards. Find out how the insurance works and why it makes sense here. 

American Express credit cards offer a wide range of insurance benefits. Depending on the card, comprehensive travel insurance is included. Platinum Card holders, for example, benefit from Foreign Travel Medical Expenses Insurance, Baggage Insurance and even Loss Damage Waiver for Rental Cars. That's because the Platinum Card offers the most comprehensive insurance package.

But even with an American Express Card or Gold Card, you receive extensive insurance and assistance services. Protection when shopping – whether online or in stores – is enjoyed by all Amex credit card holders, regardless of the color of their card. The same applies to Transport Accident Insurance.
