Can I use the return protection on my Ink Bold for something that is obviously not a business expense?

I don't think there's anything in the terms that will exclude it, but I haven't checked (you might want to), please CMIIW.

I don't think there is anything explicitly excluding it. My concern was more that thy might give me issues since "officially" you are only supposed to be using it for business purchases

I doubt it they'll give you issues, but I have no experience.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
By some of the benefits - in the T&c - it does say that it only applies if the charge was for business purposes. E.g. This card has primary CDW, but only if the rental was for business purposes.  (Otherwise its secondary l)

Well you'll also get 30K miles on top of waived baggage fees and priority boarding, and a $99 companion cert, so I would say it does pay.
So the free baggage... does it apply to only those airlines that you have the card with? If I have any of those cards, but I am flying AA, do i still get free baggage? Thanks!

Some airline cards provide waived baggage fees, each card has different rules on what is covered, but it's typically only for that airline.

Thanks! How would I find out which card allows it on other airlines? Are you familiar with what airlines fly into YUL - Montreal? Continental? United? Delta? I think those have the waived baggage fees on their credit cards. Is there a chart somewhere? I live in South Florida. Thanks again!

They all fly into YUL.  Only a card like AMEX Plat or Blue Sky Preferred covers fees of an airline of your choice.

Nice! Maybe Sukkos tickets will be paid for next :) What do you mean "covers fees of an airline". Meaning that you can book with miles and no other fees (taxes and bagges?)
