Better beware and check back with the CC companies

Wow, HAPPY, at first I thought your last post regarding USAFAN's questions was tongue in cheek but it appears you meant it to be more foot in butt. Were you just having a bad day? If not, your FT handle is ironic. We're all just trying to get along, you know?
I am not going to comment on HAPPY's postings. I feel he is a little desperate for admiration, almost arrogant.
Unfortunately, not all of his indoctrinations are correct. We better beware and check back with the CC companies, which I did. I called AMEXCO at 1-800-338-1670, car rental loss and damage insurance department. Turns out, that both of my AMEXCO credit cards have no coverage at all OUTSIDE the US bla - bla - bla ... and you can get an insurance (premium car rental policy), which cost $24.95 (for each rental).
BTW, I am not going to disclose what I am going to do ... in order to avoid another unpleasant lecture
