183. Travel Insurance and What to Do When Travel Goes Wrong with Lisa Jarvis 02.06.2026 47m

Clarification from guest Lisa @chasingmemories.co: When using a credit card like the Chase Sapphire for trip cancellation/interruption benefits, the card generally reimburses only the nonrefundable portion of your trip that you actually charged to that card — not your full trip cost. Booking part of your trip on the card may make you eligible for the benefit, but coverage is limited to what was charged. Confirm the amount you're relying on is actually covered. Please note: credit card policies and benefits can change at any time. Always refer to your card's current Guide to Benefits for the most up-to-date information. What happens if your flight gets canceled, your luggage disappears, or you need medical care in another country? In this episode, the Points Talk Squad is joined by Lisa Jarvis, who specializes in travel insurance, passenger rights, and travel safety. Together, they break down what travelers actually need to know about travel insurance and credit card coverage before something goes wrong. Lisa shares how travel insurance works alongside credit card travel protections, including what is and is not typically covered when booking trips with points and miles. They also discuss travel mishaps, including lost luggage, medical emergencies abroad, long flight delays, and how passenger rights can sometimes help travelers recover costs after major disruptions. You'll hear practical tips for choosing travel insurance, understanding what your credit cards actually cover, and knowing what steps to take when travel plans go sideways. Whether you travel a few times a year or book frequent award trips, this episode will help you feel more prepared and confident the next time something unexpected happens while traveling.
