"When a covered trip is delayed more than 12 hours or requires an overnight stay due to a covered event, expenses incurred as a result of the delay, such as meals and lodging, can be reimbursed."
Unfortunatly, my company paid for the flight, so my card was not used. If I had use this card to pay for the flight, would I have been able to get reimbursed for my hotel and meals? That's pretty neat. I had no idea something like this was available for certain cards. I will definitely use this card again in the future.
I assume your company paid for your expenses though, so probably not a big deal
I have to use a corporate card for corporate travel, so I don't get these benefits, but I don't need them when the company's paying.

If a misconnect involves a 12 hour or overnight delay, and the misconnect wasn't your fault, then I assume you're fine.
I filed a claim last week. I had to overnight in ORD after UA canceled my connection due to weather. I made sure I got the delay verification from in the United Club before leaving.
They said I could email the claim form, so I did that rather than fax or mail. I haven't heard anything back though. I'm hoping this all goes smoothly
Definitely my favorite benefit of the card.
