Your Guide to Benefit describes the benefit in effect as of 08/01/2019.

Benefit information in this guide replaces any prior benefit information You may have received. Please read and retain for Your records. Your eligibility is determined by F&A Federal Credit Union.

You’ve made the ultimate purchase and have received notification that Your package was delivered, but when You get home Your porch is empty. You don’t get frustrated, because You bought the item with Your eligible F&A card so You may be covered with Theft Only Purchase Security.

Theft Only Purchase Security eligibility and coverage

Theft Only Purchase Security guards against the theft of eligible items of personal property purchased with Your Account and/or rewards programs associated with Your Account within the first ninety (90) days from the date of purchase. In the event of theft, this benefit reimburses You up to the total purchase price of Your item for a maximum of one thousand dollars ($1,000) per claim and ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per cardholder.

You are eligible for this benefit if You are the cardholder of an eligible card issued in the United States and You purchase either a portion or the entire cost of the item using Your Account and/or rewards programs associated with Your eligible Account.

Purchases made outside the United States and gifts purchased for others may also be covered if they are purchased with Your Account and/or rewards programs associated with Your eligible Account.

Theft Only Purchase Security does not cover:

  • Animals and living plants
  • Antiques or collectible items
  • Boats, aircraft, automobiles, and any other motorized vehicles and their motors, equipment, or accessories, including trailers and other items towable or attachable to any motorized vehicle
  • Computer software
  • Items purchased for resale, either professional or commercial use
  • Items that are lost, or that “mysteriously disappear,” meaning they vanished in an unexplained manner, with no evidence of wrongdoing by one person or several
  • Items under the control and care of a common carrier (such as the U.S. Postal Service, airplanes, or a delivery service); this exclusion does not apply once the item has been reported by the common carrier or store as delivered
  • Items in Your baggage (unless hand carried, or under Your supervision or that of a companion You know); includes jewelry and watches, among other things
  • Theft stemming from abuse, fraud, hostilities (war, invasion, rebellion, insurrection, terrorist activities, and more); confiscation by authorities (if contraband or illegal)
  • Theft from misdelivery, or voluntarily parting with property
  • Medical equipment
  • Perishable or consumable items, including cosmetics, perfumes, rechargeable batteries, among others
  • Rented and leased items
  • Traveler’s checks, cash, tickets, credit or debit cards, among other negotiable purchased instruments
  • Items used or pre-owned (Refurbished items will not be considered used or pre-owned as long accompanied by a warranty)

How to file a Theft Only Purchase Security claim

Call the Benefit Administrator at 800-628-8472 within sixty (60) days of the theft (if You wait longer, coverage may be denied). The Benefit Administrator will ask for some preliminary claim information, answer Your questions and send You a claim form. When You submit Your claim, be sure to include all information regarding Your claim including the time, place, cause and the amount to replace the item.

If the purchase was stolen from the delivery location, You are required to file a claim with the common carrier and/or retailer. If You have insurance (homeowner’s, renter’s, car, employer or any other), You are required to file a claim with Your insurance company. You are required to submit a copy of any claim settlement along with Your claim form. Theft Only Purchase Security provides coverage on an “excess” coverage basis, meaning it does not duplicate coverage, but pays for a loss only after valid and collectible insurance or indemnity (including, but not limited to, homeowner’s, renter’s, automobile, or employer’s insurance policies), and compensation from the retailer and/or common carrier has been exhausted. At that point, Theft Only Purchase Security will cover the loss up to the amount charged to Your eligible Account, subject to the terms, exclusions, and limits of liability of the benefit.

This benefit also pays for the outstanding deductible portion of Your insurance or indemnity for eligible claims. The maximum total limit of liability is up to one thousand dollars ($1,000) per claim occurrence and ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per cardholder. You will receive no more than the purchase price as recorded on the eligible card receipt.

When a protected item is part of a pair or set, You will receive no more than the value (as described above) of the particular part or parts, regardless of any special value that item may have as part of such a pair or set, and no more than the proportionate part of an aggregate purchase price of such pair or set.
