Our opinion on Chase Chase United Club Infinite Travel Insurance
Expert review · Pauline LauroreAuthor of HelloSafe's card insurance reviews
The United Club Infinite is one of the strongest travel insurance packages available on a US credit card. Trip cancellation reimburses up to $10,000 per covered traveler when illness, weather, or another covered reason forces a cancellation. Trip delay kicks in after 12 hours with up to $500 per traveler for meals and lodging. Emergency evacuation covers transport to the nearest hospital and repatriation up to $1,000,000 when you are more than 100 miles from home on a trip of 5 to 60 days. The evacuation benefit must be coordinated through the card's service provider in advance. Baggage delay pays $100 per day for up to 3 days after a 6-hour wait. Lost luggage reimburses up to $3,000 per traveler. Travel Accident Insurance pays up to $500,000 on common carrier travel and $100,000 on 24-hour travel accidents. The main gaps are hospital fees abroad, which this card does not cover, and missed connections.
