If you do intend to make a claim, make sure that you have documentation of the original flight -- including the fact that it was charged to your credit card -- and information from the airline indicating that your ticketed flight was cancelled, and that you are being re-accommodated on the following day. I would try very hard to get documentation from the airline that there is no earlier flight that they can accommodate you on.
It is with BMO - the Canadian side. There is an earlier flight, but the day before my initial planned departure. Good tips- thanks!

I'm pretty sure that Trip Delay coverage only covers lodging, meals, and ground transportation. But there is no substitute for reviewing the terms and conditions of the coverage.
That's true - all it says in my terms and conditions are: (You will be reimbursed up to a maximum of $500 per Account per Trip, for reasonable, additional accommodation and travelling expenses). I guess what they define as "travelling expenses" is subjective. Haha, I like that idea, my shoes wore out! haha. I guess I'll test my luck and buy a nice dress shirt and a cheap pair of shoes and see if it gets reimbursed as additional travelling expenses as I didn't pack enough clothes to stay "one extra" day in a foreign country. :-)
