Phone Insurance

Credit card

Credit card phone insurance is available for phones and other devices. The coverage depends on the card issuer and the cap will vary. Some cards offer unlimited coverage. Others may have a cap for lost or stolen phones. If you have lost or stolen a phone, it is important to have proof of the theft or damage to your phone to receive the insurance payout.

Wells Fargo

If you use your Wells Fargo credit card for wireless services, you can now get phone insurance through the company. The company offers up to $600 in protection if you are ever in an accident involving your cell phone. This protection is valid for up to two paid claims in a 12-month period. The coverage amount is based on the value of your cell phone and the level of damage. The maximum benefit is $600 per claim and $1,200 per year. However, it does not cover lost or stolen phones. This insurance is available only to Wells Fargo consumer credit card customers. Phone insurance from Wells Fargo is a good option for those with an expensive phone. This protection will kick in after your existing phone insurance kicks in. However, you should know that it can be difficult to obtain without having a banking relationship with Wells Fargo.
