Insurance a rip off

I spent $12,500 on a trip that I needed to cancel due to physical injury. I only put $5500 of that on my Barclay's mastercard. They refused to pay me because they said the entire trip had to be on my card. So they would have paid $12,500but not $5500! That is ridiculous baddies not make sense. They obviously just wanted an excuse not to pay. Reviewed on: 6th August 2024

Customer service is incompetent and it will cost you!!

Barclays Insurance has the wrong name for my partner on our insurance. They admit that it's wrong. They know that it invalidated my insurance if we have to file and claim despite the fact that they are very much collecting money for the policy. yet THEY WILL NOT CHANGE IT!!!

Worst experience, worst bank

They have the worst claims method which takes forever and they use any reason not too support. I have had to make 2 claims and on both they denied. Then when I proved the initial denial against their own terms they found another reason to deny. This has happened on both of my claims which are reasonable and fair claims according to their terms. I would never recommend them. They were not supportive or helpful at all. Just asked for an email where they can find a way to deny your... Reviewed on: 27th December 2023

If I could give no stars

I have been a Barclays customer for 4 decades and felt extremely confident having annual insurance with Barclays/Aviva. That was the case until I made a claim for a lost 24hrs of my holiday. The airline compensated delayed flight but said I should claim on my travel insurance for the loss of the day and night of my vacation. After almost a fortnight I received an email with OUTCOME OF CLAIM as subject. I was refused compensation with a lame excuse that my policy did not cover th... Reviewed on: 15th November 2023

I like them as a bank - But don't expect any help from their travel insurance.

I only tried to use this service once, when we were given incorrect ferry times by SailRail from Dublin to Holyhead - So had to stay overnight in Dublin. Barclays travel insurance simply threw their example wording at me, and essentially said "go away". I've used various travel insurance companies before and never had an issue in the rare moment of a claim. As such, I've spent days finding out which rail company is responsible (none of them apparently). NOTE that we were told by... Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Rubbish service- avoid at all costs!

This insurance is great while you pay every month and don’t ever need to make a claim. The minute this changes and you have to use it, things go downhill! Poor service, looking for any excuse so they don’t have to pay anything. After 4 months, they have reimbursed my husband for his lost luggage by paying out for his lost swimming goggles, bag, glasses and pants- even though we had all the receipts for the items bought while waiting for the bag to be found- who needs t-shirts an...
