Ever stood forlornly at the baggage carousel, watching everyone else grab their bags and head home while yours is MIA? It's the WORST! Delayed or lost luggage can seriously derail your trip, costing you time, money, and a whole lot of stress.
Luckily, some credit cards offer baggage delay coverage, which can reimburse you for expenses like clothes, toiletries, and phone chargers while you wait for your luggage to (hopefully) arrive. AwardWallet Blog has a great overview of cards with this perk, so you can choose one that fits your travel style and potentially save yourself a ton of hassle (and money!) next time your bag decides to take a detour. Checking out their list is definitely worth your time before booking your next flight.
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
