The difference in price is about $150. Should I buy travel insurance for $16 and cancel then rebook the flight? Am I even allowed to do this. I know I can still get the travel insurance.
Grindking53: What if I rebook through another travel site using the same airline and flights?

This travel protection insurance is a kind of cheating insurance. Do you have any experience with this?

I called AMEx and dispute these charges. They said they will take 6-8 weeks to investigate. Yesterday, I spoke with another AMEX rep for update, and she tells me that most likely I may not get my $$$ back, because I did not buy Travel Insurance and bought non-refundable tickets. Anyone bought with AMEX and actually got the same answer. Any recommendation on what to do now? I feel disappointed in AMEX, with their answers and everything.

Travellers Insurance Question?

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
crazyoldben asked:


Hello! I booked a flight and hotel through Expedia.co.uk but only booked four nights hotel for a seven night stay. I booked the additional three nights hotel through a different website.

I bought my travel insurance through Expedia.co.uk

Now… I may need to cancel my trip and I’m pretty sure the reason is covered under their cancellation. I’ve emailed them and am waiting for a reply to see if this is the case.

What I need to know is will the additional hotel nights that I booked seperately, be covered in the insurance, or do they only cover anything that is booked through Expedia?

Thanks!

How do i get birth control without insurance and what are the costs? Please help?

Hi, I have recently moved to New York City from England, I am on a tourist visa, I’m not a resident and my birth control has run out. In the UK we don’t need health insurance so I’m not sure how it all works over here. I hope some one can give me some advice.

As a non resident can I just call any doctor and make an appointment? If so how much abouts will it cost? ( I only have travel insurance and am pretty sure they wont cover birth control!)
How much is the birth control? Also do you have to be a U.S resident to go to the Planned Parenthood clinics? I looked at their website online and you have to enter a social security no. which I don’t have.

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!

How can I get US health insurance for my (non US residents) parents (in late 50’s)?

Sunday, November 8th, 2009
ribciuc asked:


This is both an Immigration question and a Health Insurance question. My parents will start living in the US several months a year or more as legal visitors to live with us until they get green cards and can move here permanently. They are close 56, 59 years old. How do I go about getting them health insurance so unexpected health concerns don’t ruin them, they can get their prescriptions filled w/o paying an arm and a leg, etc?

Are there specialized US insurance companies that offer insurance to non-residents that’s worth anything? I don’t need the gimmicky travel insurance that won’t cover anything or require outrageous deductibles and paperwork sent to some tax haven country … I need a reliable US insurer who can be found, operates under laws of US, has customer service who can explain their policies, etc.
