Roadside Assistance—Most cards will arrange and
pay for your car to be towed. There may be conditions,
such as with American Express’ assistance that applies
if you are 50 miles or more from home. Other services
include tire changing, jump-starting, lockout service,
and fuel delivery. Visa charges $59.95 for a service call,
and you are responsible for the cost of goods and
services.
* Your Protection—Many cards have zero liability for
you if you report unauthorized charges, and all cards
have emergency assistance if your card is lost or stolen.
All cards have dispute resolution, meaning that if you
see a charge on your bill and it’s unfamiliar or you think
you’ve been overcharged, you can call the credit card
company and dispute it. These are the perks with which
most people are familiar.
