I have a question about this subject!

Question:


I used my frequent flyer points to upgrade my seat in the amount of 15000 points. Are these insurable? They would have cost $158 plus taxes and fees.

Answer:


The value of points or miles cannot be insured. You can insure the taxes and fees you paid to redeem the points or miles, as long as the taxes and fees are prepaid and non-refundable. Most providers will cover up to a specified amount for the re-deposit fee to re-deposit the points or miles back in to your account if you had to cancel for a covered reason. C&F Travel Insured is a good provider for this particular coverage.
