I didn't end up filing a claim, but the process to get the coverage was easy and it was nice knowing that the coverage was there if it was needed.

I had a damaged large spinner suitcase when I arrived at my home airport. The pull handle was completely broken off meaning I will have to buy a new one. I considered filing a claim but when I read the policy, I realized it would not be worth my while because articles are not covered during actual processing/handling. Well, then basically the luggage isn't covered during the trip at all.

When Delta wouldn't provide a document that was needed for my claim, the Nationwide Mutual agent offered to call Delta to get the information. The claim was paid so we're all good. That's above and beyond service in my book.
Thank you!
Thank you!

I purchased this plan in good faith. When our trip was changed to an earlier departure date, we were not informed of this change. Of course, we missed the trip and as soon as I found out I called the insurance company. They said the policy did not cover what had happened to us. They would not refund our money, even though the original trip date was 3 weeks away. They said they could transfer this plan to another trip but we would have to know where and when the next trip would be. We did not have another trip planed in the near future so we lost the cost of the insurance.

I wish someone would offer a low cost plan providing just trip cancellation coverage, but until they do I found this to be a good plan for the money.
