I've never had an opportunity to check out their "Theft Insurance" or "Money to get home" features. However, their "Automatic Change of Address" feature did not work for me. I informed them of my change of address, but up to a year later I was getting bills for seldom used cards (that were listed with them) at my old address. I had to inform every creditor individually (a good reason to have few cards!). They also send lots of mail urging me to "Sign up now for lifetime protection, only $XX dollars more, this is your last chance!". On the plus side: I haven't had any charges on my cards that I didn't make, so they appear to be trustworthy in that regard. They also were good in recording updates to my list of cards. On the whole: I don't think I'll renew when my coverage expires. Dave Schnepper ios!daves
