According to the CC they will reimburse for any amount that the airlines didn't.  So I'm hoping to get the $200 difference it cost me for the replacement.

My sister filed a complaint with the Chase Sapphire card after AA refused to give her anything when they broke her Bugaboo.  They sent her a check for nearly $1000 to replace it.  She bought a used chasis on craigslist for $100...

Me and Crazytools are in middle of that right now. One quickly learned pointer is- when making the claim at L&F in TLV, stress that you are a tourist and not any sorrt of resident in Israel. I received the aforementioned mikve bag, (sans toothbrush!), and have been reassured a min $75 reimbursement. Crazytools, whom they beleive to be a resident of israel, did not get a bag and has so far been denied any reimbursement.

Elal is promising me 75 dollars! Has e/o had experience with this before? This is already the third day and so far not a sign on the horizon! it hasn't even cleared their security in Rome. Ithink 75 is a slight underkill for clothes for 4 days.
