Since you didn't make it clear in your initial post that you were looking for FREE coverage:

Anyone know of another issuer?
I posted the info about Amex to help.

Not having to make a claim is why primary coverage is so desirable.
Since this info about Amex was incorrect - I posted the link to the Amex Primary coverage to enlighten.
