 TITLE: Benefits to Look for in an Airline Credit Card CONTENT: Travel Protections and Savings\n------------------------------\nIf you are a frequent international traveler, try to pick an airline credit card that waives foreign transaction fees. These pesky charges usually amount to between 1% to 3% of any charges you make while abroad and can really add up over the course of a trip.\nBeyond simply saving you money, though, some of the best airline credit cards offer comprehensive protections when you use them to pay for a trip. Among the best of them, the United℠ Explorer Card includes lost luggage reimbursement of up to $3,000 per passenger if your bag is lost or stolen, and baggage delay coverage of up to $100 per day for three days if your bag is delayed six hours or more and you have to purchase essential things like replacement clothing or toiletries. Even more impressive, the card offers reimbursement of up to $1,500 per person and $6,000 per trip on non-refundable, prepaid fare costs if you have to cancel or interrupt your plans due to covered situations like sickness or injury. It also offers primary insurance on rental cars, so you don't have to purchase a policy through the rental agency or rely on your own personal car insurance to cover you when things go wrong on the road.
