Total of $300.

Trip delay, but you need documentation from the airline that confirms:
  1. The delay is due to one of the 4 covered hazards: weather, mechanical failure, terrorism, or lost/stolen travel documents.
  2. The earliest flight the airline could book you on is scheduled to arrive 6/12 hours after your originally scheduled arrival (6 hours for a card like the Platinum, 12 hours for a card like the gold)

You'll also have to show that you booked tickets that start and end at the same "home" airport and paid 100% with the card, and you need to have completed the first flight segment for the coverage to be in effect.
