When my wife broke her arm a few weeks before our trip we had to cancel and were able to successfully utilize the Trip Cancellation coverage.
The policy did cover the value of Chase points used to pay for the non-refundable flights which was good and what I expected but was not certain of. Chase would have covered via secondary if needed but it was not needed.
I felt they were a bit slow in processing and stated a 30 day processing time which seemed a bit excessive. They also did not cover the non-refundable costs of Visas which were several hundred dollars and a bit surprising to me. They used an exclusion for government regulations as the reason but that seems pretty lame to me. This is trip cancellation coverage and Visa costs are something that are foreseeable and should be covered.

I'd like to thank fellow travelers who shared their comments which assisted with my purchase. I spent a ridiculous amount of time choosing the policy for my Daughter and I, a policy we never needed to use, but each time I nearly fell on uneven sidewalks in Vietnam, or missed a step at a temple in Thailand, or thought this elephant just has to make one false move...The insurance allowed me to be free to say yes to the experience. I did agonize over what seemed like so many choices, contacted the extremely patient and knowledgeable Insure My Trip Representatives several times, and finally decided upon Travelex Select. My Employer reportedly covers me anywhere in the world, however what I believe is that with any insurance, I would be responsible to pay up front for medical needs or evacuation then be reimbursed after the fact. I spent a lot of time exploring the "cancel for any reason" then decided not to get this as there seemed to be a lot of headaches associated with this option. As advised, I made a hard copy of the policy, kept the important #'s with us at all times, and had a blast!

We were very pleased with the coverage amounts and the ease of purchasing. Fortunately we didn’t need it but we will definitely purchase for our next trip.

I paid a lot of money for the plan. I was in a great deal of pain and unable to keep up on the trip. But I wasn't sure if I could get my money back and change my plane flight home, so I stuck with it and didn't really enjoy myself. I would have liked the name of someone to call from Asia to see if I could come back after the first week when the pain was really interrupting my trip. Just having a card with a number did not make me feel I would get the support I needed to make the change in itinerary.

My husband & I booked a trip traveling extensively across Vietnam. We booked full coverage, emergency evacuation, & flight cancellation/trip protection. Our travel insurance & booking was simple, easy & fast. I did it over the phone with an attendant's help & recommendations in a matter of minutes. Luckily we had no events or need to use our policy, but the peace of mind & good coverage was much appreciated.
