Cellular Telephone Protection

Cell phones have become an everyday necessity for the average person, which means if Your cell phone is

damaged or stolen, getting it repaired or replaced is not optional.

Fortunately, Cellular Telephone Protection is available which provides coverage for damage to, theft of,

or involuntary and accidental parting of Your cell phone. An involuntary and accidental parting is the

unintended separation from Your cell phone when its location is known, but recovery is impractical to

complete. This benefit is available if You are a valid cardholder of an eligible U.S. issued card enrolled in

the Cellular Telephone Protection benefit and You charge Your monthly cellular wireless phone bills to

Your eligible card for the billing cycle before the month in which the incident occurs. Eligible cell phones

are the lines listed on Your most recent cellular wireless service provider’s (“cell phone provider”)

monthly billing statement for the billing cycle prior to when the incident occurred.

What is covered?

This benefit is supplemental coverage, which means that it will reimburse You for theft of, damage to or

involuntary and accidental parting of Your cell phone not otherwise covered by another insurance policy

(for example; cell phone insurance programs, or Your homeowner’s, renter’s, automobile, or employer’s

insurance policies).

If You

have personal insurance that covers theft, damage or involuntary and accidental parting for

Your cell phone, this benefit reimburses You for the deductible portion of Your cell phone insurance.

If You

do not

have personal insurance, the benefit reimburses You for the covered theft, damage, or

involuntary and accidental parting for Your cell phone.

Once all other insurance has been exhausted, Cellular Telephone Protection will provide coverage up to

six hundred dollars ($600.00) per claim with a maximum of two (2) claims and twelve hundred dollars

($1,200.00) per twelve (12) month period. If it is determined that Your cell phone requires replacement

due to the theft of, damage to or an involuntary or accidental parting of the device, You will receive the

replacement value subject to the

one hundred-dollar ($100.00) deductible and the benefit maximum. The

replacement value is the lesser of Your cellular wireless service provider’s suggested retail value of a

similar model replacement cell phone or the actual cost to replace the cell phone.

If Your cell phone is repairable, You will receive an amount as determined by the diagnostic to repair the

cell phone subject to the benefit maximum and

one hundred-dollar ($100.00) deductible.

Note: Electronic issues, such as inability to charge, mechanical or battery failure, where there is no evidence

of physical damage, are not covered under this program.

When does it apply?

Cellular Telephone Protection applies when You make Your monthly cellular wireless phone bill payment

with Your eligible card. Coverage begins the first day of the calendar month following a payment of the

cellular wireless phone bill.

If You fail to make a cellular wireless phone bill payment in a particular month, Your coverage will be

suspended. Coverage will resume on the first day of the calendar month after the date of any future

cellular wireless phone bill payment made with the eligible card.

If Your cell phone is stolen as a result of criminal activity, You must file a police report within forty-eight (48)

hours of the event.

covered?

This benefit will not provide reimbursement for the following:

• Cell phone accessories other than

standard battery and/or standard

antenna provided by the manufacturer

• Cell phones purchased for resale

• Cell phones that are lost or

“mysteriously disappear,” meaning that
