Recently, I signed up for two premium cards. The main benefit I wanted: Collision and damage coverage on INTERNATIONAL car rentals.

Honest feedback: I logged into your site and found it useless. I plugged in my two cards. Your site gave me such a cursory and incomplete picture of them, I would never have the information I needed.

p.s. they are literally the credit cards you have on your homepage, so I expected at least these to be complete.

That's something I also wish existed: A credit card insurance comparison tool.

Essentially all "travel cards" offer some kind of trip cancellation or interruption insurance, but covered events vary wildly.

In some, thinks like illness of anybody on the trip is enough (not just the cardholder or immediate family members); in others, the cardholder basically needs to die in a very specific way to be eligible for any type of compensation.

Proper travel insurance is worth way more than half a percent more in points on domestic rental cars in shades of red to yellow (but not orange!) and grocery stores in states starting with "O" to me.
