Insure your credit card, be in peace

Credit cards have become the norm of the day. But unfortunately in today's e-age, even credit cards are not really safe and theft coupled with misuse being the biggest threat.

Thousands of credit cards go missing (either lost or stolen) everyday in UK and Ireland. Yours could easily be one of them. But there is a way out to ensure the protection of even your stolen card. Insurance is the answer.

A good Card protection plan generally offers the following benefits -
Worldwide 24-hour assistance
Cash advance in case of emergency
Advance for travel ticket replacement
Valuable document registration
Insurance for lost cash
Replacement service for lock and key
Change of address service
Lost luggage service.

Some of the add-ons that maybe provided along with card protection plans are -
Travel accident insurance
Making your travel purchase with the credit card entitles you for free personal travel accident insurance. This cover pays a lump sum if you, your partner or your dependent children suffer accidental death or serious injury while travelling.
Free Purchase protection
This means that your purchase is insured while in transit against damage, theft or loss before they reach you or up to 30 days
Internet shopping guarantee
Some credit card companies provide security against any fraudulent online transactions that you may be a victim of unknowingly.
