Following on my little “adventure” I’ve been thinking about credit card options.
From what I have been able to gather none of the “normal” credit cards come with any option for emergency replacements. American Express, however, does seem to offer this service:
We will issue a replacement Card usually within 24hours. If you are travelling abroad and wish to have a Card sent to you, we can arrange for a replacement Card to be waiting for you at the nearest American Express Travel Service Location or to be delivered to you in person
It’s not clear how long it takes for the card to get to the local office, but issuing a new card within 24 hours is a lot better than anything my bank can offer with a standard Visa.
Are there any other options out there?
