Shout out Amex Platinum Card!

Back in November my flight got cancelled unexpectedly due to weather and runway conditions in Costa Rica. No rebooking flights available for next 7 days. Had to book another flight for next day from San Jose (Capital of Costa Rica) which was like 4hrs away. With 2 kids, my mom and wife it cost us almost 2k and additional travel expenses, lodging and foods. Luckily Amex travel insurance covered everything. Basically it paid for my next 3 yrs of membership fee. Definitely a keeper card. My buddy and his family who also went with us on the trip but lives in different states had similar or worse situation on the way back. He didn’t have any travel insurance from his card nor he purchased had to cover all his expenses. Definitely a good perks to have if you travel.
