Good listen.
I filed a trip interruption claim with Chase when my wife was hospitalized during our trip to Germany last year. It was a paperwork pain, but we got a check to cover our cancelled flights, cancelled hotels, etc.
I just listened to this podcast. I know I’m months behind. I was really frustrated as you are experts on these cards but didn’t do a great job of comparing them. For example the CSR has much better rental car coverage than the others. The Amex 5x for flights and hotels is only through Amex travel which isn’t always the best. Also the CSR has priority club membership, etc. Good podcast but I just think ya’ll couldn’t don e a better job on this one.
I really enjoy the podcast but picture me screaming at you during my 8 mile run while listening to this one 🙂
Thanks for the honest feedback, we’ll aim to do better. Hopefully that anger pushed you to run faster!
