Whether your bag turns up at the carousel sporting fresh battle scars or \u2014 worse yet \u2014 doesn't turn up at all, it means time wasted reporting to the airline, filling out forms, and, in the case of lost luggage, the loss of your bag and its contents. Plus there's the time wasted on vacation shopping for items you need on the trip.<\/p>\n<p>While aircraft safety is top notch, the same can\u2019t be said for your bags, which tend to endure much harsher treatment than their owners. Alongside travel delays, lost and damaged luggage is far and away the most common issue passengers face during air travel. While the good news is that <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transportation.gov\/briefing-room\/air-travel-consumer-report-december-2023-full-year-2023-numbers#:~:text=For%20calendar%20year%202023%2C%20the,bags%20enplaned)%20in%20January%202022.\" rel=\"noopener\">airlines mishandled just 0.58% of luggage in 2023<\/a>, that's of little comfort when you're left empty-handed at baggage claim.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re one of the unlucky millions finding yourself sans-bag when you arrive at your destination, the knowledge you paid for your flight with a credit card featuring lost luggage reimbursement can take the sting out of an unfortunate situation.<\/p>\n<p>The list we've put together doesn't cover every card providing lost luggage protection, which is a lengthy list indeed. Instead, we\u2019ve broken down the coverage by credit card network and recorded some of the specifics for each provider.<\/p>\n<div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#What_Is_Lost_Luggage_Reimbursement_and_How_Does_It_Work\">What Is Lost Luggage Reimbursement and How Does It Work?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Credit_Card_Lost_and_Damaged_Luggage_Policies\">Credit Card Lost and Damaged Luggage Policies<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Visa_lost_luggage_policy\">Visa lost luggage policy<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Mastercard_lost_luggage_policy\">Mastercard lost luggage policy<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#American_Express_lost_luggage_policy\">American Express lost luggage policy<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#What_Items_Are_Not_Covered_by_Lost_Luggage_Protection\">What Items Are Not Covered by Lost Luggage Protection?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Final_Thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<h2><span id=\"What_Is_Lost_Luggage_Reimbursement_and_How_Does_It_Work\">What Is Lost Luggage Reimbursement and How Does It Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Lost luggage reimbursement covers the cost to repair or replace your luggage, and the personal belongings contained within, if your bag is lost or damaged during a covered trip.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What constitutes a covered trip varies by credit card provider, but it typically covers airline, train, bus, and marine transport charged to your eligible credit card. Lost luggage insurance is secondary to any reimbursement from the airline or travel provider, and coverage from your credit card typically applies to both your checked and carry-on baggage. Coverage lasts from the moment you check in to the time you pick up your bags at the other end of your journey and then walk out of the terminal.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_158494\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-158494 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Azzadiva-Sawungrana-Unsplash-baggage-claim-passengers-featured-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"Airport passengers wait for luggage coming out on a baggage claim carousel\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Azzadiva-Sawungrana-Unsplash-baggage-claim-passengers-featured-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Azzadiva-Sawungrana-Unsplash-baggage-claim-passengers-featured-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Azzadiva-Sawungrana-Unsplash-baggage-claim-passengers-featured-325x260.jpg 325w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Azzadiva-Sawungrana-Unsplash-baggage-claim-passengers-featured.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Azzadiva Sawungrana\/Unsplash<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>As an example of how the policies and exclusions differ between providers, we\u2019ve collated lost luggage protection policy details provided on World Mastercard, Visa Infinite (the benefit is also included on select Visa Signature cards), and American Express cards below.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Credit_Card_Lost_and_Damaged_Luggage_Policies\">Credit Card Lost and Damaged Luggage Policies<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span id=\"Visa_lost_luggage_policy\"><strong>Visa lost luggage policy<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Lost Luggage insurance is one of the seemingly endless benefits provided on Visa Infinite cards \u2014 like the <a data-ccid=\"4048084\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/ChaseSapphireReserve\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Chase Sapphire Reserve<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>  (<a data-ccid=\"4048084\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=g3lR0xvjyAU&offerid=1975477.10005148&type=3&subid=0f66b13c6350da73694bd36bb565bcf5f&subid=639396\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rates & Fees<\/a>), the <a data-ccid=\"4048196\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/UnitedClubInfinite\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">United Club\u2120 Card<\/a>  (<a data-ccid=\"4048196\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=g3lR0xvjyAU&offerid=1753725.10005115&type=3&u1=8f680d723782e18c3a9792a796615ed8&subid=639396\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rates & Fees<\/a>) and <a data-ccid=\"4048272\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/CR-CapitalOneVentureXRewardsCreditCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card<\/a> (though this can be issued as a Mastercard sometimes \u2014 and this coverage also features on select Visa Signature cards like the <a data-ccid=\"2061159\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/ChaseSapphirePreferredCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Chase Sapphire Preferred<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card<\/a>  (<a data-ccid=\"2061159\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=g3lR0xvjyAU&offerid=1753725.10005147&type=3&subid=01f060954b820a3c3e158ee603c1bb149&subid=639396\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rates & Fees<\/a>) and the <a data-ccid=\"4048117\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/UnitedExplorerCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">United\u2120 Explorer Card<\/a>  (<a data-ccid=\"4048117\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=g3lR0xvjyAU&offerid=1753725.10005119&type=3&u1=d35566b8b2ef079c1c8fb1c6b627d3cf&subid=639396\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rates & Fees<\/a>).
