RETURN PROTECTION

Have You ever purchased an item which looks great on the Internet or spectacular in a store but doesn’t look as great once You remove its packaging at home? What if the retailer where You purchased the item will not accept the return?

Return Protection may be able to assist You. Return Protection is a benefit for eligible cardholders who make a purchase with their Account and/or rewards program associated with their covered Account.

The Return Protection benefit is supplemental to, and in excess of, any valid and collectible avenue of recovery available to You, the eligible cardholder. The Benefit Administrator will reimburse the excess amount, once all other coverage has been exhausted, up to the coverage amount.

WHAT IS COVERED?

Eligible items of personal property purchased with Your covered Account and/or rewards program associated with Your covered Account are covered for reimbursement up to two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) per item at an annual maximum of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per Account.

PURCHASE SECURITY

Life is full of surprises — some good, and some not so good.

Suppose, for instance, Your son’s brand new iPad was soaked in a sudden rainstorm at summer camp. But You bought the item with Your card, so You may be covered.

Purchase Security protects new retail purchases made with Your eligible Account and/or rewards program associated with Your covered Account within the first ninety (90) days from the date of purchase. To be eligible for this coverage, You need to purchase either a portion or the entire cost of the item using Your Account and/or rewards program associated with Your covered Account.

At the Benefit Administrator’s discretion, this benefit replaces, repairs, or reimburses You, up to the total purchase price of Your item for a maximum of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per claim and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00), per cardholder, in the event of theft or damage.

You are eligible for this benefit if You are a cardholder of an eligible card issued in the United States.

Gifts purchased for friends and family members may also be covered if they are purchased with Your covered Account and/or rewards program associated with Your covered Account.

PURCHASE SECURITY COVERS:

Eligible items of personal property purchased with Your Account and/or rewards program associated with Your covered Account are covered for damage or theft. Purchases made outside the United States are also covered as long as You purchased the item with Your covered Account and/or rewards program associated with Your covered Account.

PURCHASE SECURITY DOES NOT COVER:

  • Animals and living plants
  • Antiques or collectible items
  • Boats, aircraft, automobiles, and any other motorized vehicles and their motors, equipment, or accessories, including trailers and other items towable or attachable to any motorized vehicle
  • Broken items, unless the result of a covered occurrence
  • Computer software
  • Items purchased for resale, either professional or commercial use
  • Items that are lost, or that “mysteriously disappear,” meaning they vanished in an unexplained manner, with no evidence of wrongdoing by one person or several
  • Items under the control and care of a common carrier (including the U.S. Postal Service, airplanes, or a delivery service)
  • Items in Your baggage (unless hand carried, or under Your supervision or that of a companion You know); includes jewelry and watches, among other things
  • Theft or damage stemming from abuse, fraud, hostilities (war, invasion, rebellion, insurrection, terrorist activities, and more); confiscation by authorities (if contraband or illegal); normal wear and tear; flood, earthquake, radioactive contamination; damage from inherent product defects

FILING A PURCHASE SECURITY CLAIM

Call the Benefit Administrator at 1-800-553-4820, or call collect outside the U.S. at 1-303-967-1096, within sixty (60) days of the damage or theft (if You wait longer, coverage may be denied). The Benefit Administrator will ask for some preliminary claim information, answer Your questions and send You a claim form. When You submit Your claim, be sure to include all information regarding Your claim including the time, place, cause and the amount to either replace or repair the item.

If You have insurance (homeowner’s, renter’s, car, employer or any other), You are required to file a claim with Your insurance company and to submit a copy of any claim settlement from Your insurance company along with Your claim form. Purchase Security provides coverage on an “excess” coverage basis, meaning it does not duplicate coverage, but pays for a loss only after valid and collectible insurance or indemnity (including, but not limited to, homeowner’s, renter’s, automobile, or employer’s insurance policies) has been exhausted. At that point, Purchase Security will cover the loss up to the amount charged to Your eligible Account, subject to the terms, exclusions, and limits of liability of the benefit.

This benefit also pays for the outstanding deductible portion of Your insurance or indemnity for eligible claims. The maximum total limit of liability is up to one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per claim occurrence and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per cardholder. You will receive no more than the purchase price as recorded on the eligible card receipt.

When a protected item is part of a pair or set, You will receive no more than the value (as described above) of the particular part or parts, stolen or damaged, regardless of any special value that item may have as part of such a pair or set, and no more than the proportionate part of an aggregate purchase price of such pair or set.

For faster filing, or to learn more about Purchase Security, visit www.cardbenefitservices.com.

Gift recipients may file their own claims, if they have the necessary substantiating documents.

Please submit the following documents:

  • Your signed and completed claim form

  • A copy of a police report (in the case of theft), fire report, or other incident report made within forty-eight [48] hours or as soon as reasonably possible of the occurrence. All losses must be substantiated. If the loss was not reported, please contact the Benefit Administrator to determine if there may be other documentation that can be provided to determine your eligibility for Purchase Protection
  • Any other documents necessary to substantiate Your claim

In some cases of damage, You will be asked to send, at Your expense, the damaged item along with Your claim in order to substantiate the claim, so make sure to keep the damaged item in Your possession.

PLEASE NOTE: Your maximum recovery under the Purchase Security Benefit is the purchase price of the item, not to exceed the coverage limit.

Please return Your signed and completed form with all documentation within ninety (90) days of the date of theft or damage.

HOW WILL I BE REIMBURSED?

Once You’ve met the conditions of this benefit, the Benefit Administrator will resolve Your claim in one of two ways:

  • A damaged item may be repaired, rebuilt, or replaced, while a stolen item will be replaced. Typically, You will receive notice about this decision within fifteen (15) days upon receipt of Your claim documentation.
  • You may receive payment to replace Your item, an amount not more than the original purchase price, less shipping and handling charges, up to one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per claim and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per cardholder. You will only be reimbursed up to the dollar amount to replace or repair the item or the program limit, whichever is less.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR TRAVEL ACCIDENT INSURANCE

Travel Accident Insurance is provided under a master policy of insurance issued by Virginia Surety Company, Inc. (herein referred to as Company). We reserve the right to change the benefits and features of all these programs.

The financial institution or the Company can cancel or choose not to renew the Insurance coverages for all Insureds. If this happens, the financial institution will notify the accountholder at least 30 days in advance of the expiration of the policy. Such notices need not be given if substantially similar replacement coverage takes effect without interruption and is provided by the same insurer. Insurance benefits will still apply to Covered Trips commenced prior to the date of such cancellation or non-renewal, provided all other terms and conditions of coverage are met. Travel Accident Insurance does not apply if your Visa Signature privileges have been suspended or cancelled. However, insurance benefits will still apply to Covered Trips commenced prior to the date that your account is suspended or cancelled provided all other terms and conditions of coverage are met.

Coverage will be void if, at any time, the accountholder has concealed or misrepresented any material fact or circumstance concerning this coverage or the subject thereof or the accountholder’s interest herein, or in the case of any fraud or false swearing by the Insured relating thereto. No person or entity other than the accountholder shall have any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim for insurance proceeds and/or damages under or arising out of this coverage.

No action at law or in equity shall be brought to recover on this coverage prior to the expiration of sixty (60) days after proof of Loss has been furnished in accordance with the requirements of this Description of Coverage.

The Company, at its expense, has the right to have you examined as often as reasonably necessary while a claim is pending. The Company may also have an autopsy made unless prohibited by law.

STATE AMENDMENTS

For Illinois Residents Only

The following statement is added: If a Covered Person recovers expenses for sickness or injury that occurred due to the negligence of a third party, the Company has the right to first reimbursement for all benefits the Company paid from any and all damages collected from the negligent third party for those same expenses whether by action at law, settlement, or compromise, by the Covered Person, the Covered Person’s parents if the Covered Person is a minor, or the Covered Person’s legal representative as a result of that sickness or injury. You are required to furnish any information or assistance, or provide any documents that we may reasonably require in order to exercise our rights under this provision. This provision applies whether or not the third party admits liability.

PURCHASE SECURITY

Life is full of surprises — some good, and some not so good.

Suppose, for instance, Your son’s brand new iPad was soaked in a sudden rainstorm at summer camp. But You bought the item with Your card, so You may be covered.

Purchase Security protects new retail purchases made with Your eligible Account and/or rewards program associated with Your covered Account within the first ninety (90) days from the date of purchase. To be eligible for this coverage, You need to purchase either a portion or the entire cost of the item using Your Account and/or rewards program associated with Your covered Account.

At the Benefit Administrator’s discretion, this benefit replaces, repairs, or reimburses You, up to the total purchase price of Your item for a maximum of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per claim and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00), per cardholder, in the event of theft or damage.

You are eligible for this benefit if You are a cardholder of an eligible card issued in the United States.

Gifts purchased for friends and family members may also be covered if they are purchased with Your covered Account and/or rewards program associated with Your covered Account.

PURCHASE SECURITY COVERS:

Eligible items of personal property purchased with Your Account and/or rewards program associated with Your covered Account are covered for damage or theft. Purchases made outside the United States are also covered as long as You purchased the item with Your covered Account and/or rewards program associated with Your covered Account.

PURCHASE SECURITY DOES NOT COVER:

  • Animals and living plants
  • Antiques or collectible items
  • Boats, aircraft, automobiles, and any other motorized vehicles and their motors, equipment, or accessories, including trailers and other items towable or attachable to any motorized vehicle
  • Broken items, unless the result of a covered occurrence
  • Computer software
  • Items purchased for resale, either professional or commercial use
  • Items that are lost, or that “mysteriously disappear,” meaning they vanished in an unexplained manner, with no evidence of wrongdoing by one person or several
  • Items under the control and care of a common carrier (including the U.S. Postal Service, airplanes, or a delivery service)
  • Items in Your baggage (unless hand carried, or under Your supervision or that of a companion You know); includes jewelry and watches, among other things
  • Theft or damage stemming from abuse, fraud, hostilities (war, invasion, rebellion, insurrection, terrorist activities, and more); confiscation by authorities (if contraband or illegal); normal wear and tear; flood, earthquake, radioactive contamination; damage from inherent product defects
  • Theft or damage from misdelivery, or voluntarily parting with property

FILING A PURCHASE SECURITY CLAIM

Call the Benefit Administrator at 1-800-553-4820, or call collect outside the U.S. at 1-303-967-1096, within sixty (60) days of the damage or theft (if You wait longer, coverage may be denied). The Benefit Administrator will ask for some preliminary claim information, answer Your questions and send You a claim form. When You submit Your claim, be sure to include all information regarding Your claim including the time, place, cause and the amount to either replace or repair the item.

If You have insurance (homeowner’s, renter’s, car, employer or any other), You are required to file a claim with Your insurance company and to submit a copy of any claim settlement from Your insurance company along with Your claim form. Purchase Security provides coverage on an “excess” coverage basis, meaning it does not duplicate coverage, but pays for a loss only after valid and collectible insurance or indemnity (including, but not limited to, homeowner’s, renter’s, automobile, or employer’s insurance policies) has been exhausted. At that point, Purchase Security will cover the loss up to the amount charged to Your eligible Account, subject to the terms, exclusions, and limits of liability of the benefit.

This benefit also pays for the outstanding deductible portion of Your insurance or indemnity for eligible claims. The maximum total limit of liability is up to one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per claim occurrence and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per cardholder. You will receive no more than the purchase price as recorded on the eligible card receipt.

When a protected item is part of a pair or set, You will receive no more than the value (as described above) of the particular part or parts, stolen or damaged, regardless of any special value that item may have as part of such a pair or set, and no more than the proportionate part of an aggregate purchase price of such pair or set.

All losses must be substantiated. If the loss was not reported, please contact the Benefit Administrator to determine if there may be other documentation that can be provided to determine your eligibility for Purchase Protection
  • Any other documents necessary to substantiate Your claim

In some cases of damage, You will be asked to send, at Your expense, the damaged item along with Your claim in order to substantiate the claim, so make sure to keep the damaged item in Your possession.

PLEASE NOTE: Your maximum recovery under the Purchase Security Benefit is the purchase price of the item, not to exceed the coverage limit.

Please return Your signed and completed form with all documentation within ninety (90) days of the date of theft or damage.
