They claim thousands have done it just this last week.




(not sure if that number isn‘t just hardcoded for marketing purposes)

Many people don’t know/understand what benefits their credit card offers them. And the card of choice of many Alaska Airlines customers (the BofA Visa) doesn’t offer any travel protection, as far as I recall, which is one more reason I don’t generally use it for AS ticket purchases if I can avoid it.

But all that said, I have never actually made a claim against my Amex or CSR travel insurance - my travel seems to generally be pretty uneventful. So I can’t imagine shelling out cash for this insurance offer on my ticket purchases.

I wish there was a traveler profile option to disable this offer for good. A browser script probably could handle this, but most of my bookings are made on the couch on an iPad these days.
