5 STAR RATED TRAVEL INSURANCE UNTIL YOU TRY TO MAKE A CLAIM.
1
I BOOKED A HOLIDAY BACK IN MAY 2019 FOR TRAVEL IN MAY 2020.THIS HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS.LIKE MOST PEOPLE IN MY SITUATION I HOPED TO RECEIVE A CASH REFUND.MY TRAVEL COMPANY HAS ONLY OFFERED REBOOKING OR A VOUCHER,NO CASH REFUNDS,ADVISING ME TO GO THROUGH MY TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR A CASH REFUND.I CONTACTED NATIONWIDE ASKING FOR A REFUND,AND ALTHOUGH MEETING ALL THE CRITERIA IN THEIR POLICY BOOKLET,THEY SAID I WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE TRAVEL COMPANY HAD OFFERED AN ALTERNATIVE.LIKE SO MANY I WANT MY MONEY BACK.THESE VOUCHERS COULD END UP BEING WORTHLESS.MANY TRAVEL COMPANIES COULD END UP GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.I POINTED OUT THESE CONCERNS TO NATIONWIDE, ONLY TO BE REPEATEDLY TOLD IT WAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM.TO SUM UP THE NATIONWIDE WORLDWIDE TRAVEL INSURANCE THAT COMES WITH THE FLEXPLUS ACCOUNT,IS SUPPOSED TO BE 5 STAR RATED,BUT IS NO BETTER THAN THE MOST POORLY RATED TRAVEL INSURANCE.THEIR POLICY BOOKLET IS NOT WORTH THE PAPER IT IS WRITTEN ON,AND WHEN YOU DO NEED TO MAKE A CLAIM,THEY WILL DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO AVOID PAYING YOU.
