I am definitely getting travel health insurance. I am trying to decide if I need to purchase separate trip cancellation/ interruption insurance, of if this benefit provide sufficient coverage
How much more is travel insurance with trip cancellation/interruption benefits for medical reasons? In my experience, it's not much more at all.

If I downgrade the reserve, will the priority pass still work?
Yes, but not sure if it'll work until the exp date or if it just takes some time for PP to get the message that its no longer active.
Will it work 2 weeks after downgrade? Also is there anyway to check worth priority pass before my flight if it's still working, I don't want to be charged for the visit.

Either it works or it doesn't, how would you get charged?

They can charge a closed card. Where did Dan say that?

if I understood the quote correctly, $30-$40 more. Not terrible, but if it's not necessary, why bother? (if you know a better broker that's good too ;)

Squaremouth is a great place to shop policies. I've used Travel Insured with USAA discount past few times.

Yeah in the middle of booking w/ USAA, much cheaper than squaremouth for me ($48 for family of 4, 31 day trip)
plus, if you set the trip cost at 0, they still give $750 for travel interruption insurance, which is more than my tickets cost anyways.
(although since kids are free, I may as well put my sons trip cost at $650, so I can get 150%
 for him

Quick question:

With Sapphire Reserve, do I need to do something to get Priority Pass Lounge access or just show the card and get in?? I will receive the credit card tomorrow, and might be traveling internationally next weekend.

And for the travel credit of $300, if I am booking airline ticket, does that meet this requirement?  And, if I spend $4100 (spend req is $4000), but that includes $300 for travel spend, and the I get travel credit for $300, does it still count towards spend requirement to get bonus?


Thanks.

Thanks.
1) Call Chase to order the the Priority Pass card, try to have them expedite (they would have to send a request to PP to send it with Fedex), if you don't get it in time you can pay for lounge entry with the credit card and call Chase to refund the entry fees (you can do this twice each year).
2) Yes.
3) Yes.

 Any idea on what I can do?

   Basically I just purchased a fridge from town Appliance, I had it delivered and connected and started using it and I realized that the fridge blocks my top cabinets from opening as well as having french doors and a pull-out freezer which is kind of annoying very unsatisfied with my purchase, is there any type of purchase protection or an ability to go ahead with a return of some type?
   Would my credit card cover any such benefits? I wouldn't mind exchanging it.

Did you call Town Appliances to see what your options are?
Which cc did you use?  How long ago was the purchase?
