    Have you lost something or had it stolen?
    If so contact the police might be your first priority: and if nothing has happened yet getting adequate insurance (by that I mean contents insurance) should be your second.

    Their website suggests there are more than one Platinum credit card - we need to know the exact card to advise further or have you asked them?
  • Its says on the letters its a platinum contactless visa credit card. i have not lost or had any item stolen but if the card doesnt have the cover im looking for then i would look for some,hence my inquiry.ive just spoke to a helpful person on the barclaycard livechat and he pointed me to a link for purchase delivery protection which seems to cover purchases in the uk up to a value of £5000.
