219. A Medical Emergency in Cabo—and the Credit Card That Saved The Day

In this episode, we sit down with Carol Foster to hear the incredible story of how a vacation in Cabo turned into a medical nightmare that required an evacuation! What could have become a financial disaster ended up being covered thanks to the travel protections included with her Chase Sapphire Reserve card, saving her from tens of thousands of dollars in expenses.Carol shares what happened, how the process worked, and what she learned from navigating this crisis while traveling internationally. We also discuss why travel insurance and credit card travel protections are some of the most overlooked tools in the points and miles world.This episode is packed with practical lessons about emergency preparedness, travel insurance, medical coverage abroad, and protecting yourself when the unexpected happens. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes the most valuable travel benefit isn't the points you earn—it's the protection you hope you'll never need.Mentioned in this Episode:Carol on InstagramCarol on FacebookFull CSP EpisodeEpisode with LisaComfrt.com 15% OFFChase Sapphire Link-Mary EllenChase Sapphire Link- JoannaFind Us On Online:Sign Up for the Y!
