We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Frankfurt, Germany - Oct 10, 2017: Luggage being loaded from the trolley to belt conveyor and into the aircraft

    Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    We’ve shown you the secret to booking $45,000 in Business Class airfare for $540.  We’ve taught you how to get free flights and earn frequent flier miles at the same time.  And we’ve detailed strategies for booking that dream Hawaiian vacation for pennies on the dollar.

    But one thing we haven’t figure out, is how to get baggage handlers to start caring about your luggage.  Take a look at this video of these guys slamming luggage around at Hong Kong International Airport.  Pretty crazy, huh?!

    The video, taken by passenger Marcela Fernanda Solis Walker, garnered over 5 million views after she posted it to her Facebook page.  Not only has the video gone viral, but it has sparked outrage among travelers everywhere.  And for very obvious reasons!

    I can only think of one time where I packed something fragile in my checked luggage, and that was when I was bringing home a bottle of special whiskey from a trip to Scotland.

    Otherwise, I try to carry on any items I really care about because I don’t want them getting lost, stolen, or broken.  I highly doubt my bottle of Scottish whiskey would have survived these baggage handlers!

    Want to ease the stress of worrying about your baggage?  Consider using a credit card that comes with insurance for lost or delayed luggage.
