We use our cards and earn tons of rewards.
Just bought a truck cap for my F150.
I earned $300 in cash from one card that I hadn't used in a couple years (special offer that came in the mail to earn $300 if I spend $500 before 10/31/24 - already paid it off). Also earning another...

They can deny a specific claim based on evidence that you did or did not do something that was the direct cause of the failure of an otherwise...
I do all my own maintenance. Costs less and makes me feel far better knowing it was done right. I'm not 70, but I'm pushing 60 and only have one leg. If I can do my own maintenance, you probably can ... 😉
YMMV.
