Alerts are sent with event details, also listed within resolution
console and most often includes source of breach (from where
the data was harvested).
High-Risk Transactions monitors a Consumer’s high-risk
transactions with more than 300 of the nation’s largest
companies to uncover and thwart account takeover attempts.
Knowledge-Based Authentication (questions only an individual
should know about themselves such as what street they lived on
in 2009) used by organizations across industries limits the risk of
identity theft or account takeover. Alerts are sent when a series
of knowledge-based authentication questions are generated to
validate the Consumer’s identity (i.e. when accessing a credit
report). Monitored transactions include:
• Credit cards
• Bank accounts
• Brokerage accounts
• Healthcare portals
• Workplace intranets
• Other services (e.g. peer-to-peer fund transfers)
Dark Web Monitoring provides monitoring of underground
web pages people can visit without third parties being able to
trace the location of the web visitors or the web page publisher.
Dark web sites make up about .01% of the Internet and are
intentionally hidden or protected by encryption technologies and
not accessible via standard web browsers.
Credit Information
Single Bureau Credit Monitoring monitors a Consumer’s
TransUnion credit file for changes that could indicate fraud
such as new credit inquiries, an address change or new credit
account(s) opened in their name. In order to use this service,
Consumers must provide some personal information, such as
name, address, date of birth, and SSN, and undergo either digital
verification via text or knowledge-based authentication. ID Theft
Protection sends alert notification emails, such as change of
address alerts, anytime potentially unauthorized inquiries or
suspicious activities on Consumer’s credit file are detected so
they can take immediate action to minimize damage.

explains the many forms of identity theft and provides protective
measures anyone can take to limit their risk. The kit also contains
a Federal Trade Commission sample affidavit form, as well as
sample letter templates for filing disputes in cases of identity
theft or fraud.
Online Fraud Alerts allow Consumers to place a statement
on their credit report that instructs lenders to contact the
Consumer before issuing new credit. This makes it more difficult
for an identity thief to open new accounts in their name. When
Consumers place a fraud alert with one bureau, the other two
bureaus are informed, and the alert is then placed on all three
bureau files. Fraud alert placement is free, and alerts stay on the
Consumer credit files for one year.

THE PLAN
As a MasterCard Cardholder, you, your spouse or domestic
partner and unmarried dependent children will be automatically

any licensed common carrier, provided the entire cost of the
passenger fare(s), less redeemable certificates, vouchers or

the travel passenger fare is charged to your MasterCard account.
This coverage does not include Commutation. Commutation
is defined as travel between the Insured Persons residence and

the Company in excess of the stated Benefit Amounts for any
one loss sustained by any one individual insured as the result
of any one accident. In the event of multiple accidental deaths
per account arising from any one accident, the Company’s
liability for all such losses will be subject to a maximum limit of
insurance equal to three (3) times the Benefit Amount for loss of

insurance or other contract.
Benefits are provided to you, the accountholder, at no additional
charge. Non-insurance services may have associated costs, which
will be your responsibility (for example, legal referrals are free,
but the lawyer’s fee is your responsibility).
The insurance benefits are provided under a group policy issued
by New Hampshire Insurance Company, an AIG company. This
Guide to Benefits is a summary of benefits provided to you. The
attached Key Terms and EOC is governed by the Group Policy.
Effective date of benefits: Effective September 1, 2021, this
Guide to Benefits replaces all prior disclosures, program
descriptions, advertising, and brochures by any party. The
Policyholder and the insurer reserve the right to change the
benefits and features of these programs at any time. Notice will
be provided for any changes.
Cancellation: The Policyholder can cancel these benefits at
any time or choose not to renew the insurance coverage for
all cardholders. If the Policyholder does cancel these benefits,
you will be notified in advance. If the insurance company
terminates, cancels, or chooses not to renew the coverage to
the Policyholder, you will be notified as soon as is practicable.
Insurance benefits will still apply for any benefits you were
eligible for prior to the date of such terminations, cancellation,
or non-renewal, subject to the terms and conditions of coverage.

cards are issued by U.S. financial institutions. The United States

or equitable right, remedy, or claim for benefits, insurance proceeds
and damages under or arising out of these programs. These
benefits do not apply if your card privileges have been cancelled.
However, insurance benefits will still apply for any benefit you were
eligible for prior to the date that your account is suspended or
cancelled, subject to the terms and conditions of coverage.
Transfer of rights or benefits: No rights or benefits provided

Español: 800-633-4466
arbitration if there is an unresolved dispute concerning this EOC
(including the cost of, lack of or actual repair or replacement
arising from a loss or breakdown). Under this Arbitration
provision, you give up your right to resolve any dispute arising
from this EOC by a judge and/or a jury. You also agree not to
participate as a class representative or class member in any
class action litigation, any class arbitration or any consolidation
of individual arbitrations. In arbitration, a group of three (3)
arbitrators (each of whom is an independent, neutral third
party) will give a decision after hearing the parties’ positions.
The decision of a majority of the arbitrators will determine the
outcome of the arbitration and the decision of the arbitrators
shall be final and binding and cannot be reviewed or changed by,
or appealed to, a court of law.
To start arbitration, the disputing party must make a written
demand to the other party for arbitration. This demand must
be made within one (1) year of the earlier of the date the loss
occurred or the dispute arose. The parties will each separately
select an arbitrator. The two (2) arbitrators will select a third
arbitrator called an “umpire.” Each party will each pay the
expense of the arbitrator selected by that party. The expense
of the umpire will be shared equally by the parties. Unless
otherwise agreed to by the parties, the arbitration will take
place in the county and state in which you live. The arbitration
shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C.A. §
1 et. seq.) and not by any state law concerning arbitration. The
rules of the American Arbitration Association (adr.org) will
apply to any arbitration under this EOC. The laws of the state of
New York (without giving effect to its conflict of law principles)
govern all matters arising out of or relating to this EOC and
all transactions contemplated by this EOC, including, without
limitation, the validity, interpretation, construction, performance
and enforcement of this EOC.
Due Diligence: All parties are expected to exercise due diligence
to avoid or diminish any theft, loss or damage to the property
insured under these programs. “Due diligence” means the
performance of all vigilant activity, attentiveness, and care that
would be taken by a reasonable and prudent person in the same
or similar circumstances in order to guard and protect the item.
Subrogation: If payment is made under these benefits, the
insurance company is entitled to recover such amounts from
other parties or persons. Any party or cardholder who receives
payment under these benefits must transfer to the insurance
company his or her rights to recovery against any other party or
person and must do everything necessary to secure these rights
and must do nothing that would jeopardize them, or these rights
will be recovered from the cardholder.

Salvage: If an item is not repairable, the claim administrator may
request that the cardholder or gift recipient send the item to the
administrator for salvage at the cardholder’s or gift recipient’s
expense. Failure to remit the requested item for salvage to the
claim administrator may result in denial of the claim.
Other Insurance: Coverage is secondary to and in excess of
any other applicable insurance or indemnity available to You.
Coverage is limited to only those amounts not covered by any
other insurance or indemnity. It is subject to the conditions,
limitations, and exclusions described in this document. In no
event will this coverage apply as contributing insurance. This
Other Insurance clause will take precedence over a similar clause
found in other insurance or indemnity language.
In no event will these insurance benefits apply as contributing
insurance. The non-contribution insurance clause will take
precedence over the non-contribution clause found in any other
insurance policies.
Severability of Provisions: If in the future any one or more
of the provisions of this Guide to Benefits is, to any extent and
for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, then such
provision(s) shall be deemed “severable” from the remaining
provisions of the Guide. In that event, all other provisions of this

conditions, limitations, and exclusions described in each benefit
