Purchase Protection

Along with several benefits on a Credit Card, Purchase Protection is also a perk that helps the cardholder during any mishaps with the card. Purchase Protection is a potential benefit provided on a credit card that helps in getting a reimbursement for the damaged or stolen products purchased using the card. This is similar to insurance for the products purchased using a credit card. 

While the majority of the credit card providers offer purchase protection features on their card, the term “Purchase Protection” may differ from each provider or card like “Damage and Theft Protection” or “Purchase Security”. The overall working of the benefits would be the same.  

When you buy something using a credit card, it’s not just cashback or rewards that add value but also the purchase protection which acts as a shield for your money if any damages occur to the purchased item. Along with other amazing benefits on a credit card, the card applicant must also verify the key benefits like Purchase Protection and the terms and conditions regarding it. 

Working of Purchase Protection on Credit Card

The working of purchase protection on a credit card is quite simple. It is a benefit you might have heard about while applying for a credit card. If you have bought an expensive product using your credit card, and if the item is stolen or damaged right after you bought it or at a specific time period, the purchase protection will cover you with the financial loss. 

Once the purchased item is stolen or damaged, the cardholder needs to inform the credit card provider within a specific time period of 30 to 120 days. However, this limit may vary with each card provider. And the claim benefit will be valid only if reported within 24 hours to 90 days of the purchase made (varies with the provider). The total coverage provided on the product also varies from provider to provider. 

For example, if you’ve bought an iPhone for $1000 using a credit card and if the iPhone is damaged right after a few days you’ve bought it. Then you can request the claim and the officials of the credit card company will prepare the further investigation with the documents submitted and reimburse it. The cardholder may get the entire $1000 as the reimbursement or some parts of it as per your card provider and the plan.
