I think my plan has about $600 in travel delay insurance (and more in cancellation insurance).

That way, I skip the voucher lines, I rebook online and get a good night's sleep in a hotel instead of a gate. I submit the expenses to my policy online. They reimburse me. And I still get the hotel points.
Which travel insurance provider? I use CSR card, but I believe it requires I book the given leg of the flight using that card, not just 1 of the N pieces of the trip. So it would be easy to mess up if churning or something.
