What each one means in practice
Auto rental damage
Primary cover, which is rare. It pays before your own motor insurance rather than after, so you can decline the rental counter’s damage waiver without involving your insurer at all.
The entire cost has to go on this card. A partial payment does not qualify.
Lost or damaged baggage
You have to report it to the airline before leaving the airport, and keep their report. Without it the claim will not be considered.
Trip cancellation
The limit is per person rather than per trip, so a family of four on one booking can reach $8,000 rather than $2,000.

Trip delay
Six hours is an unusually low threshold. Most cards start at twelve, including cards from the same issuer, so this one reaches delays the others miss.
An overnight stay counts even when the delay is shorter than that.
Air traffic control delays are not on the covered list, which catches people out because it is one of the most common reasons a flight runs late.
