The loss of trip insurance was not a consideration for us. We usually buy travel insurance for out of country trips. We have never utilized or relied on the trip insurance provided by any of our cards. The new card does still provide secondary car rental CDW, but we use our United Mileage Plus Explorer card for all domestic car rentals since it offers primary CDW. For out of the country we used to use the old Marriott Rewards credit card since it offered two points per dollar on car rentals. That doesn't change with the new card but of course every regular spend now gets two points per dollar.We're still discussing the pros/cons on upgrading to the new card. If we're correctly reading the benefits for the new card.... and having read this entire thread, I'm not seeing anyone mention the loss of trip cancellation insurance with the new card - and this is our primary reason right now for not moving forward with the upgrade. We're reading that the new card includes baggage delay insurance, lost luggage reimbursement, and trip delay reimbursement. Was loss of trip cancellation insurance considered by anyone in making the decision to switch to the new card?... or have we missed reading somewhere in the terms/benefits that trip cancellation insurance IS included with the new card? When husband called Chase rep, they confirmed trip cancellation insurance was not a benefit with the new card.
