We have been to many Sandals Resorts and every time I book a trip I always buy the trip insurance wondering if I am wasting our money! I did not. Due to illness we were not able to travel. The representative at Sandals walked us through the forms we needed to fill out and we got our money back. Thanks Trip Mate and Sandals

No Reimbursement for Covered Expenses My husband had an accident in Prague. Trip Mate claimed they'd pay for everything since Medicare does not pay medical expenses outside of the USA. Trip Mate did pay for some of his medical expenses, but anything--hospital deposit, ambulance, initial doctor expenses, my hotel room while he was hospitalized--I paid with my credit card, Those expenses were never reimbursed me. I filed the claim documents, including support documentation, 4 times. Even though initially, I mailed it in, they claimed they could not read it. So, I sent them electronic copies. Twice when I checked on the claim status, it showed the claim was closed for lack of information. Each time I called, they claimed they would open up the claim again. It's been almost a year since his accident, and I'm giving up trying to get reimbursed. So, beware, if you pay any medical expenses with your credit card, it's doubtful you'll be reimbursed.

We had to cancel our trip due to an immediate family member being diagnosed with cancer. We had to cancel our trip due to a family member being diagnosed with cancer. I was surprised at the claim forms request for medical documentation. We submitted the Dr’s report with the five page forms and were reimbursed for our trip. I really appreciated the way I was able to track our claim on line and receiving updates via email and text messages.

AFTER EXPLAINING EXPERIENCE ON Trustpilot, TripMate PAID UP! DO NOT BUY TRIP MATE. We have purchased TRIP MATE insurance for 4 separate Viking cruises. After submitting and resubmitting all of our loss documentation for completely missing our Bergen, Norway extension, our claim was denied. Our travel buddies were reimbursed, as we had identical arrangements. With our travel buddies permission, we gave their claim numbers to TRIP MATE and asked why they were reimbursed and we were not. How did TRIP MATE handle this? They sent us another denial and said it was an error that our travel buddies were paid. 8 months after the trip they requested our friends RETURN the funds they were paid! This experience and Viking claiming no responsibility has soured us on using either company again. We also purchased Viking Air Plus for smooth, seamless travel. Very disappointing.

I had expected a struggle… but satisfied with results I had expected a struggle… but the process was fairly simple and we got our full reimbursement owed us after we had to cancel our Viking Cruise for medical reasons. We were very thorough in submitting all paperwork, receipts and medical documentation, and the customer service at Viking helped to explain also.Would use Trip Mate again for future travel.
