The plan I enrolled in with Amex provides PRIMARY coverage. My own auto insurer is never even notified. I'm paying the $19.95 for PRIMARY coverage.
Can you point me towards where I sign up for this? I'm currently holding a Diner's Club card, at $95 per year, because it is primary insurance. Paying $19.95 per rental would be about break even for me.
