This is a nice benefit we just came across, associated with the Citi Forward Credit Card:
Use your Citi Forward card to pay your cell phone bill and get free protection (up to $250) from damage and theft. All phones (including iPhones and smartphones) from all telecom providers are covered.
If you don’t want to spend $5 a month for cell phone insurance, but still want some coverage, this might be an easy way to do it.
This is a very attractive credit card, especially if you pay off most or all of your balance each month. 0% APR for 6 months, no annual fee and a generous rewards program.

This sounds great but I cannot find this information on the Citi site? How can I verify this?
While Citi told us about the benefit, they don’t include the information on the landing pages they’ve given us to use. (No that doesn’t make any sense). Anyway, here is some info they provided us:
Cellular Telephone Protection: If you pay your monthly cell phone bills with your Citi Forward Card and your cell phone is damaged or stolen, you have supplemental insurance coverage that reimburses you for a replacement phone. Certain conditions, restrictions and exclusions apply. Coverage is subject to a maximum reimbursement amount of $250 in excess of the $50 co-payment you are required to pay. Citi will provide full details upon card membership.
