Took a long time to get reimbursed but eventually got back all of my trip deposit when we had to cancel our trip.

I can't truly evaluate service since I did not (thank goodness) need to make a claim, but I appreciated the alerts and the offers of service before leaving on my trip.

fortunately I didn't have to use it, but the premium was reasonable for the coverage I needed.

Although I did not need the insurance for the trip just knowing it was there was reassuring. At the end of the trip I thought I might need the insurance as my flight was cancelled and I was not notified, but Southwest worked out a reasonable flight plan.

I filed a claim shortly after returning from the trip because of trip interruption caused by airline/airport issues. I was pleased with the beginning of the claim process, and very satisfied with the payment from Global Alert. However, claim paperwork was received by Global Alert mid-July, and final payment was received mid-October. I had initially been told to expect 20-30 days for the whole process. I would use Global Alert again, because of the full amount of the reimbursement for the missed portion of the trip.

Thank goodness I did not need to file a claim. So, I am not sure how well the coverage would actually have worked.

I did not make this trip! Prior to the departure, I canceled, which you state in the policy, c complete refund. I was advised of a refund of only a few dollars. Not worth pursuing. Not good!

    Thank you for your feedback. Here is the refund information per the certificate of your policy:

    "You have the right to cancel the Policy at any time by giving advance notice to Our Agent or Us (stating when thereafter the cancellation shall be effective). We will refund any unearned premium to You within 10 days of cancellation."

    Since your policy was effective for the trip cancellation benefit for approximately one year, the pro-rated refund was just a fraction of the entire premium.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please call us at 800-487-4722.
