I quickly looked up the benefits and purchase coverage on my credit card and sure enough purchases were covered for 120days against loss, theft or damage. I checked my statements and luckily I had purchased the phone 118 days before the loss.
I called the number on the back, filled out a simple form, gathered receipts and made the claim. Today I got confirmation that they paid my claim and are covering the full amount that I charged to my phone.
Downside is that because I bought the phone on contract I only get covered for the amount I paid which was about half the cost of a new phone purchased outright from the apple store. But much better than being down the full amount.
Thanks CP! (And specifically rerun)
