Are there any Credit Cards that carry critical illness insurance ? I`ve recently been diagnosed with a critical illness and as far as I know know have no insurance but got to wondering if any of my numerous credit cards may have any cover ? thought I`d ask here before spending hours on the phone.

    I very much doubt it.
    Insurance cover is something that cards do not carry.

    Hope it goes well for you.

    PPI may have covered you --- but we all know how that went.

    You can't get critical illness cover when you already have a critical illness.


    Insurance is for what might happen not what has already happened.

    This is true, but the OP was asking whether there may be existing cover through one of the credit cards he/she already holds.
