Not insurance advice
CURATED, NOT EXHAUSTIVE. These card benefit + insurance summaries are hand-entered for the most popular Canadian cards to answer common 'is the rental car / trip / phone covered?' questions. Coverage is governed solely by the issuer's official Certificate of Insurance / benefit guide — figures here are representative phrasing, not a contract, and many benefits require charging the full purchase to the card and meeting age/eligibility/holiday-vs-business conditions. Always confirm against the linked issuer source before relying on a benefit. Do NOT treat as a live feed. Refresh on the same discipline as scripts/refresh-card-data.md: re-verify each entry against the issuer page, bump lastVerified, and correct anything that changed.
