Overall, credit card price protection benefits are becoming harder to find. That's because price-tracking technology has made it easier for cardholders to file price protection claims. Prior to these technological advances, cardholders had to manually track and research prices and file a claim within the time limit. Most found it tedious and chose not to take the time and effort to submit a claim. Now, the increase in price protection claim payouts has made the benefit too expensive for credit card companies to maintain, Capital One being one of the few issuers who still offers it through some of their eligible cards.
