Visa Signature offers similar coverage, however making a claim with Visa vs Amex is a much bigger headache.
I've submitted multiple warranty and purchase protection claims with AMEX and its about the easiest process imaginable. Highly recommended.
They did so, at the cost of $10 per month. I paid $120 for them to print out about 40 sheets of paper and mail them to me snail mail.
I did the same with my Visa that I had at the same time, and they only charged me $2 per month. Still abhorrently expensive for paper transcripts imho, but 5x cheaper than AMEX on that respect.
I download all copies of my statements every year now though, that's for sure!
