The Plan
Eligibility & Coverage.
As an eligible CITI
®
Travel Card
or CITI
®
One Card accountholder,
the company will cover you and
your dependents for permanently
lost, stolen or damaged articles
while checked with or carried
on a common carrier, when
the entire common carrier fare
is charged to your CITI Travel
Card or CITI One Card account.
Dependents are your spouse and
unmarried dependent child(ren)
under age 19 (23 if a full-time
student) traveling on a common
carrier ticket purchased with the
cardholder’s CITI Travel Card or
CITI One Card account. Common
carrier means any scheduled
airline, land or water conveyance
licensed for the transportation of
passengers for hire.
This coverage is not available to
CITI
®
Purchase Card and CITI
®
Fleet Card accountholders.
Coverage for checked baggage
and carried-on items is up to
$1,500, which is the maximum
benefit amount per occurrence
per covered person. If an item
is permanently lost, damaged
or stolen, it will be repaired
or replaced at no additional
charge, or the cardholder will be
2
reimbursed up to the maximum
benefit amount per item and the
maximum benefit amount per
occurrence for all eligible items
at the insurer’s option.
When the item insured under
Common Carrier coverage
consists of items in a pair or sets,
the coverage will not pay more
than the cost of any particular
part or parts which may be
damaged or stolen, unless the
items are unusable individually
and/or cannot be replaced
individually. If the item is fine arts
or antiques, and consists of an
article or articles in a pair, set or
collection, the coverage will not
pay more than the cost of any
particular part or parts that may
be damaged or stolen regardless
of any special value which such
article or articles may have as
part of such pair, set or collection.
This coverage is excess or
secondary to the Common
Carrier’s liability. Common Carrier
Baggage coverage will, after all
indemnity from the Common
Carrier has been exhausted, be
responsible only for the amount
not covered by such other
indemnity. Coverage is limited
to the maximum benefit amount
per occurrence, regardless of
the number of articles involved.

Coverage is not available in
states where prohibited.

General Information.
This program description is an
important document; however,
it is not a policy or contract of
insurance. All information in this
program description is subject
to the terms and conditions of
Virginia Surety Master Policy
Number ECC-005 which is in
the possession of World Access
Service Corporation, the Program
Administrator. For general
information or to file a claim
under this program, call toll-free
1-800-586-8458. If calling from

(804) 673-1673.
How to File a Claim
1. If a covered item is permanently
lost, damaged or stolen, the
cardholder must notify the
Common Carrier and complete
their claim procedures. The
cardholder must also inform the
Program Administrator within
45 days of the date that the loss,
theft or damage occurred. If the
cardholder fails to immediately
report the loss, theft or damage
to the Common Carrier or give
notice within 45 days from
6
the date that the loss, theft or
damage occurred, denial of the
claim may result.
2. When notified, the Program
Administrator will set up a claim
file and send the cardholder a
claim form. The cardholder must
complete the claim form, attach
all requested documentation (for
example, the disposition of the
Common Carrier claim, record of
charge, receipt and a copy of the
police report, if applicable), and
return the completed form as soon
as possible, but no later than 90
days from the date of the theft or
damage. In the event that certain
documents are not available
when the claim form is returned
(for example, payments made
by other insurance policies), the
claim file will remain open for 6
months from the date of purchase.
Common Carrier coverage will
not pay any claim that is not
completely substantiated in the
manner requested within this 6
month period. The cardholder may
be required to send the damaged
item, at the cardholder’s expense,
to an address provided by the
Program Administrator. When a
claim is paid, the cardholder may
be required to assign their rights
to recover the amount of the loss
from the party responsible for the
7
theft or damage to the Program
Administrator (as appointed by
Virginia Surety Company, Inc.) to
the extent of the loss reimbursed
under this coverage.
