Credit Card Cell Phone Insurance - a win

October 16th, 2024 at 07:24 am

Oh man, I have never submitted before a claim on my credit card for a cell phone reimbursement. I  broke the screen first week of September then a couple weeks ago was reading my chase ink business preferred card that I put our cell phone plan on had insurance for cell phones.  I paid $200 to replace the screen on my pixel 7. 

The plan is to replace my pixel 7 with a pixel 9 on black friday.  I had a pixel 6 for free 3 years ago when I got an extra line with tmobile for my business.  Then I traded it in like 8 months later for a pixel 7 on black friday 2022 for $25.  Now I want the pixel 9 because I am hard on my phones.

But I didn't want to leap into buying a pixel 8 when the 9 was about to come out. So I repaired the screen instead.  Now come to find out I get reimbursed the $109 because of my $100 deductible towards the repair.  WOW.  I can't believe it worked.

It took awhile for me to figure out how to do the reimbursement online and upload all the documents.  A long time I might add and I'm not tech illiterate.  But the insurance actually worked.

This now gives me the confiedence that when I rent a car we'll be covered and I'm not buying more rental car insurance. I have to do research which credit card I should do car rentals on and trip insurance.  I only put our cell phone bill on auto pay on our chase ink business preferred because I get 3% back on business categories.

Yay what a win.
