You are eligible for Cellular Telephone Protection if you pay your wireless phone bill with your RGCU Debit Card, Platinum Visa Card, or Platinum Visa Rewards Card each month. Coverage begins the first day of the calendar month after you make a payment. If you fail to make a cell phone bill payment in a particular month, your coverage will be suspended. Coverage will resume on the first day of the calendar month after the date of any future cellular wireless telephone bill payment made with the eligible card. If your cell phone is stolen or damaged, you may be eligible for reimbursement. Your coverage includes your primary cell phone line and any secondary, additional or supplemental lines.

VISA DEBIT: The maximum benefit limit is $500 per occurrence and $1,000 (2 claims) per 12 month period. Cellular Telephone Protection is subject to a $50 deductible per claim. You will receive the replacement value subject to the $50 deductible and the benefit maximum.

VISA CREDIT: The maximum benefit limit is $250 per occurrence and $1500 (2 claims) per 12 month period. Cellular Telephone Protection is subject to a $50 deductible per claim. You will receive the replacement value subject to the $50 deductible and the benefit maximum.

This benefit is supplemental coverage, which means that it will reimburse you for theft of, damage to or involuntary and accidental parting of your cell phone not otherwise covered by another insurance policy (for example; cell phone insurance programs, or your homeowner’s, renter’s, automobile, or employer’s insurance policies).

• If you do have personal insurance that covers theft, damage or involuntary and accidental parting for your cell phone, this benefit reimburses you for the deductible portion of your cell phone insurance.
• If you do not have personal insurance, the benefit reimburses you for the covered theft, damage, or involuntary and accidental parting for your cell phone.
