I was looking at filing a claim for a $60 pool float that would be absurd to claim on any insurance but I thought was exactly what PP was supposed to protect against.
Although I had to submit my homeowners policy limits, my claim was under the deductible so they didn't require me to file with them. I suspect if your claim is over the deductible that you would need to file and Chase would pay the difference.
