Citibank Platinum Rewards Insurance for Loss and Damaged Goods

I bought a Dell monitor in March using my Citi Rewards Platinum Visa.
While moving, I accidentally dropped the monitor and now it no longer works.

Does anyone know if Citi Rewards Platinum has insurance that covers this?

    In short, i don't think you're covered as you're outside the 90 day window unless you only received it in the last 90 days? although it is strangely worded as if it might only apply during overseas/domestic travel

    Purchase Cover Insurance
    WHAT WE COVER
    If, within ninety (90) consecutive days of you taking
    possession of a covered item where you have charged
    the full purchase price to your card account, the
    covered item is stolen, accidentally damaged or
    permanently lost (except when: left in a vehicle; or
    are valuables checked in to be transported in the
    cargo hold of any aircraft, ship, train, tram or bus; or is
    sporting equipment while in use) we will pay the lesser
    of:
    a] the original purchase price charged to your card
    account; or
    b] the limit per claim specified in Part C – Table of
    Benefits in respect of jewellery, watches and new
    works of art.
    The most we will pay in any twelve (12) month period in
    respect of any one card account is the maximum total
    limit specified in Part C – Table of Benefits.
    CONDITIONS
    You must report the loss, theft or misplacement of a
    covered item within 24 hours to the police or an office
    of the bus line, airline, shipping line or rail authority you
    were travelling on when the loss, theft or misplacement
    occurred. You must provide us with evidence of making
    the report and who you reported the loss, theft or
    misplacement to.
    If you are entitled to be reimbursed by the bus line,
    airline, shipping line or rail authority you were travelling
    on when the loss, theft, misplacement or damage
    occurred we will deduct the amount you are entitled to
    from any claim payable by us. However, if you are not
    reimbursed the full amount of your loss, we will pay the
    difference between the amount of your loss and what
    you were reimbursed, up to the limit of your cover.
    WHAT WE EXCLUDE
    To the extent permitted by law, we will not pay a claim in
    relation to your covered items (including valuables) if:
    70 71
    a] the loss, theft or damage is to, or of, items left
    behind in any hotel or motel room after you have
    checked out, or items left behind in any aircraft, ship,
    train, tram, taxi or bus;
    b] the covered items were being sent unaccompanied
    by you or under a freight contract;
    c] the loss or damage arises from any process of
    cleaning, repair or alteration;
    d] the loss or damage arises from ordinary wear
    and tear, deterioration, atmospheric or weather
    conditions, insects, rodents or vermin;
    e] the covered items disappear in circumstances that
    cannot be explained to our reasonable satisfaction;
    f] your claim arises from a government authority
    confiscating, detaining or destroying anything;
    g] the covered items were left unsupervised in a
    public place;
    h] the covered items have an electrical or mechanical
    breakdown.

    • Thanks. Looks like I'm gonna have to eat this one raw.

  • Some home & contents insurance also cover accidental damage, check if you have one, but excess may be high.
