Maximizing Your FIMC Benefits: Tips and Tricks

If you’re an FIMC member, you’ve already taken a smart step toward protecting yourself and your wallet. But are you taking full advantage of all the benefits available to you?

At FIMC, our goal is to make protection simple, accessible, and valuable. Whether you’re using your plan for the first time or want to unlock more of what it offers, here are some practical tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your FIMC membership.

1. Know What’s Covered—and What’s Not

The first step to maximizing your FIMC benefits is understanding your plan. Fortunately, FIMC keeps things easy to understand. There are no hidden fees or confusing clauses. What you see is what you get.

Take a few minutes to review your benefit details in your Member Portal. Whether you’ve got a plan with roadside assistance, travel protection, or identity theft coverage, knowing your benefits up front can help you respond quickly and confidently when you need help.

2. Use the Member Portal for Everything

Your Member Portal is your go-to for tracking claims and managing your benefits. You can:

• File a claim(in just a few clicks)
• Track your claim status
• Access past claims
• Manage your account and preferences
• Explore available discounts and perks

It’s easy, intuitive, and always available. No need to dig through paperwork or wait on hold—though our U.S.-based support team is ready if you ever need them.

3. File Claims Quickly and Easily

Don’t wait when you have an opportunity to use a benefit—file a claim right away. The process is streamlined: fill out a simple form, upload a few basic documents, and you’re on your way. No complicated hoops or long delays.

And yes, you get reimbursed fast. Many members are surprised at just how quick and smooth the process is.

“The paperwork was straightforward, easy to fill out the forms that I needed to send, and I never even had to speak to a person,” says member Ashley B., a Modesto, Calif., native. “I submitted all my paperwork and had the reimbursement check not long after. I absolutely love the service.”

Tip: Take photos of receipts or documentation as soon as you get them. Having that info ready can make the  process even faster.

4. Choose the Way You Want to Connect

At FIMC, we believe support should work for you—not the other way around. That’s why you can reach out in whatever way works best:

• Call our U.S.-based call center
• Use the mobile app
• Text chat with a support agent
• Log in to your Member Portal

Need roadside assistance while stuck on the highway? You can request it straight from the app or call us 24/7. Want to check your benefits while sitting in a waiting room? The portal’s got you covered.

5. Access Discounts You Might Be Missing

FIMC membership comes with more than just protection—it comes with perks. From retail and travel discounts to offers on dining and entertainment, there are savings opportunities you might not even realize you have.

Tip: Log in to your portal and check the “Discounts” section. You might find your next favorite restaurant or hotel for less.

6. Download the Mobile App

If you haven’t downloaded the FIMC Real Benefits mobile app yet, now’s the time. It’s like carrying your membership in your pocket. File claims, request assistance, check your benefits, and connect with support—all from your phone.

It’s particularly helpful if you’re traveling or in an urgent situation where logging into a desktop just isn’t an option.

7. Use Benefits Before You “Need” Them

FIMC isn’t just for emergencies. Use your benefits proactively, get those discounts now, set up identity protection, or explore all your offers. You’re not just buying peace of mind; you’re investing in everyday value.

Final Thought: Your Membership is What You Make It

FIMC is here to support you, whether it’s through financial protection, everyday discounts, or quick and reliable service. But like any membership, the more you know and engage with it, the more you’ll get in return.

So, take a few minutes today to log into your Member Portal, download the app, and explore everything waiting for you. Your future self will thank you.
