Per the company guarantee:

Access America will refund your insurance premium if you cancel your insurance within 10 days of purchase and have not filed a claim or departed on your trip.

The word 'or' is used; NOT' AND' which mean based on this statement you are entitled to a refund. Per the above language from the policy, 'or' means only one or the other element is required, NOT both. So if you are within 10days of purchase AND have not filed a claim, you are entitled to a refund. You would also be entitled if you had not departed for your trip. Once one option is picked, the other should be eleminated. They are using both to evaluate the process. If you meet one standard, they apply the other so they don't have to refund based on their contract language. A slight of hand deceptive practice.

Questionable?

AUTHOR: ykp - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, April 28, 2011

I  met the criteria cited in your rebuttal and contacted your company four (4) days after purchase and was told I was not entitled to a refund. Today is the seventh (7th) day, I have not filed a claim and I am still being told I am not entitled to refund eventhough it has not been ten (10) days since the pruchase. Why am I being refused a my refund if you are saying it's essentially a ten (10) day trial?

Hello,
I'm from Access Americas Help Team. We do encourage every travel insurance customer to look at their policy, and try to make it easier by offering what we call a 10-day free look. That means you can cancel the policy at no cost within 10 days if you decide it doesnt meet your needs. Theres more here at our FAQs: http://bit.ly/b4T45T.
 
We'd be happy to address your specific case and explain any terms, conditions and exclusions that could have affected your claim. If you have further questions or comments, please reach us directly at help.team@accessamerica.com.
