But, in short, loss or damage to your cell phone could be covered if you use the right card to pay your cellular bill each month. Most cards offering this benefit cover between $500 and $1,000 per claim with deductibles as low as $25, depending on the card.<\/p>\n<p>Theft, water damage, and a non-functional device are some of the covered reasons available with cell phone protection from a credit card. Policies often don't cover cosmetic damage, phone accessories, or phones purchased for resale. The list of what's covered and what isn't depends on the credit card, so be sure to understand your card's benefits and which card is best for this feature.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_140674\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/400\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-140674 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bermix-studio-SJwYvNVW1qY-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"A stethoscope lays on top of a cell phone.

Another great perk of using credit cards to purchase things like electronics or appliances is purchase protection on some of those costly purchases.<\/p>\n<p>Purchase protection includes things like extended warranties, guaranteed returns, and purchase security. Reading the fine print attached to these credit card benefits can potentially save you thousands of dollars. Here's an overview of what purchase protections your card could offer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/price-protection\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Price protection<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong> If you purchase an item and see a lower advertised price within the next 90 days, many premium cards will reimburse you the difference up to a specified value per item (with limits per account) each year. The card issuer sets price protection limits, so check <a href=\"\/credit-cards\/guide-to-benefits-list\/\">your benefits guide<\/a> for details.<\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/extended-warranty\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Extended warranty<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong> When you purchase items like televisions with your Visa, Mastercard, or Amex, chances are your purchase is covered by an extended warranty for repair or replacement. The coverage differs by provider, but in some cases can include products worth up to $10,000 in value.  <\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/return-protection\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Guaranteed returns<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong> If you\u2019re not happy with a purchase and the merchant won\u2019t accept a return, your card issuer may reimburse you for the purchase price. Items must be returned to your benefits administrator in a &#8220;like new&#8221; condition with original packaging and receipts within 90 days of purchase.<\/li>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/purchase-protection\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Purchase security<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong> If an item purchased using your card (or points earned via the card) is lost due to &#8220;theft, damage, or involuntary and accidental parting,&#8221; typically within the first 120 days after purchase, it may be covered by your card issuer. Coverage varies widely (from $500 to $10,000 per item) between providers, so be sure to check your benefits guide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_140712\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/451\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-140712 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/patrick-tomasso-nWvWBV0sv04-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"A person is making a purchase with a credit card.\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/patrick-tomasso-nWvWBV0sv04-unsplash.jpg 600w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/patrick-tomasso-nWvWBV0sv04-unsplash-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/patrick-tomasso-nWvWBV0sv04-unsplash-276x207.jpg 276w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/patrick-tomasso-nWvWBV0sv04-unsplash-476x357.jpg 476w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Patrick Tomasso\/Unsplash<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"Final_Thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With some of these benefits offering up to $10,000 in value <em>per claim<\/em>, these perks are not to be ignored and can potentially return more than the value of the rewards garnered from your credit cards.
