  4. Travel Insurance From Credit Cards?
    • Wise travellers know of the importance of travel insurance. And many of them rely on the protections included with their credit card thinking that they will be covered, no matter what.
    • But are the protections really optimal? Is the insurance automatically in force just because they paid their most recent bill? Are there any stability clauses to know about?
    • Are you aware that:
      • After a certain age, coverage can be limited to a few days only?
      • Some protections may be limited or nonexistent if the trip was not paid with that credit card?
