Alternatives to Sentinel Gold?

in Credit cards
Hi All,
Can anyone suggest an alternative to Sentinel Gold as I have just cancelled my policy with them. I was not happy last year when I renewed with them and, thankfully, I justm anaged in time to catch my renewal which went through about 2 weeks ago. I am told that my auto payment is going to be refunded.
I got a bit fed up with them as my banks keep on changing my cards and, in this day and age, I really want an online account that I can change easily myself without having to ring them up. They told me last year that such a site was coming and, guess what, I was told the same today. Worse, I got some bull about myself having to prove my innocence is someone nicks my identity - they may or may not be right - but I have my doubts about the benefits of their insurance and feel that I have been blindly paying money out to them each year.
So what alternatives are out there and are they worthwhile? Surely, just keeping a photocopy of the cards will give you all the info needed to cancel them?
