Understanding Chase Credit Card Travel Protections
Chase offers some of the most comprehensive travel protections in the industry, especially on its premium travel cards such as the Chase Sapphire Preferred®, Chase Sapphire Reserve®, and select co-branded airline and hotel cards. These protections may include:
1. Trip Delay Reimbursement
If your common carrier (airline, train, bus, etc.) is delayed for a set number of hours — typically 6 to 12 depending on the card — you may qualify for reimbursement. Covered expenses may include:
-
Meals
-
Lodging
-
Transportation
-
Toiletries and other essential purchases
2. Trip Cancellation Coverage
If you must cancel your trip due to an eligible reason, such as:
-
Severe illness
-
Injury
-
Jury duty
-
Severe weather
-
Certain financial insolvency events
Chase may reimburse your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses.
3. Trip Interruption Benefits
If your trip is cut short due to covered circumstances, you may receive reimbursement for:
-
Unused travel arrangements
-
Additional transportation costs
-
Emergency accommodations
4. Baggage Delay Coverage
If your baggage is delayed beyond a set timeframe, you may be reimbursed for essential purchases like clothing and toiletries.
5. Lost Luggage Reimbursement
Should the airline permanently lose your luggage, Chase may cover the value of your belongings up to a policy maximum.
How to File a Claim
To ensure a successful claim, follow these steps:
Step 1: Gather Documentation
Chase typically requires:
-
Original receipts
-
Delay or cancellation documentation
-
Proof of purchase with your Chase card
-
Written confirmation from the airline
Step 2: File Promptly
Most claims must be filed within 20–60 days, depending on your card.
Step 3: Submit All Required Proof
Missing documentation is a common reason claims are delayed or denied.

Even small expenses may be reimbursed.
3. File Your Claim Immediately
