Your nsave Visa Platinum card comes with a set of protection benefits provided by Visa — not by nsave. They're attached to the card automatically: there's nothing to register or activate, and you only get in touch when you need to claim.
The one rule that matters most
You must pay in full with your Platinum card for a benefit to apply.
This is the single most common reason a claim gets rejected. If you paid with a different card or in cash, the cover doesn't apply — even if you have the card in your pocket.
Where to go: the Visa Benefits Portal and phone line
Visa Benefits Portal — visa.com/benefitsportal. Create an account with your card details to see your benefits, open a claim, upload documents, track progress, generate coverage certificates, and chat with an agent 24/7.
Visa benefits phone line — 1-800-396-9665 from the US and Canada, or +1-303-967-1098 (collect call) from anywhere else.
Your Platinum benefits
🛍️ Purchase Protection
New items paid in full with your card are covered against theft or accidental damage for 180 days from purchase — up to USD 5,000 per event and USD 10,000 per year. Gifts you bought for someone else count too. Lost or mysteriously disappeared items aren't covered.
To claim: your card statement, the itemised receipt, and — for theft — a police report filed within 48 hours, or a repair estimate for damage.
🔧 Extended Warranty
Items with an original manufacturer's warranty of between three months and three years get up to one extra year of cover — up to USD 5,000 per incident and USD 10,000 per year. Report a fault within 30 days of it happening.
To claim: card statement, receipt, a copy of the original warranty, and the repair order showing the cause.
🏷️ Price Protection
If an item you bought drops in price within 30 days, you can claim the difference — up to USD 500 per item and USD 2,000 per year. The difference must be more than USD 25, and the lower price must be advertised by a retailer in the same country. Sale prices like Black Friday count.
To claim: card statement, receipt, and a dated advert or listing showing the lower price.
🚗 Car Rental Insurance
Pay for the rental with your card and decline the rental company's collision damage waiver (CDW) — this benefit replaces it and won't apply if you accept the desk's cover. It covers collision damage, theft, vandalism, fire, towing and loss-of-use on rentals up to 31 days, worldwide, for you and any additional drivers on the agreement.
To claim: rental agreement, reservation confirmation, repair invoice, card statement, and a police report if there was theft or a third party.

How to make a claim
Act quickly — you have up to 30 days from the incident to open a claim on the Visa Benefits Portal. Don't wait for your paperwork; open it first.
Open the claim on the portal or by phone. Visa's benefits administrator confirms receipt within 24 hours.
Send your documents — every claim needs your card statement and receipt, plus the benefit-specific evidence above.
Get paid — claims with complete documents are typically reviewed within about 5 days, and approved claims paid within about 10 days, in USD, to the account you nominate.
Claims are assessed by Visa's benefits administrator, not by nsave — we can't approve, speed up or overturn a decision, but we can help you find the right contact.
Where benefits don't apply
Cover is worldwide, except in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and the Crimea region.
