^^^ as above + bear in mind that the claim limit is typically low (a few hundred £) unless you have a Platinum AMEX charge card or NatWest Black etc.

p.s. advise ur bf to get home content insurance!

Impossible to say whether he has any cover without knowing what the exact card is.
A few offer some form of protection, but most don't. You need to refer to your specific card T&C's really.

Does anybody who is prepared to pay hundreds for a laptop deserve any sympathy when for a few pounds a month he would have been covered instead of clutching at straws?

About as much as they deserve you rubbing their nose in it. We've all made mistakes.

excuse me! no-one has any right to break into someones home and steal their personal possesions that they go to work 40 hours a week to pay for, he thought he was covered for 90 days and was then going to get full insurance as he has nothing else of great value in his house.
