  I made a reservation at the ********* by Wyndham in **********, ** on June 21 of this year (Their confirmation #H11720486). Because they required full payment in advance and they have a no-refund policy, I also signed up with their Refund Protection Plan (Protecht, located at *******************************************************************************************) at an additional cost of $47.87. A medical emergency required cancellation and Day's Inn reminded me of the no-refund policy and directed me to contact Protecht directly. When I e-mailed them, their website sent back this message: "Please note: When an event organizer cancels the event, it voids your protection plan per the Terms and Conditions." I am at a loss to explain how this constitutes a refund protection plan. I tried to follow the bbb directions to contact the agency before filing a complaint, but there is no way to reach anybody through their site.

  I purchased tickets to White water six flags which is a water park. I bought a ticket protection warranty to refund tickets in case weather didnt permit a visit. Shortly after I bought tickets, the ************************ issued a flood watch and predicted heavy rain and suggested not being outside. I requested a refund but they told me I dont qualify for a refund, even though weather permitted me from visiting the park. I have a direct complaint with fanshield

  Bought tickets to a show in ********* back in a February with the intention of attending the show at the alloted time. However, I've purchased a home since the February purchase of the tickets and other projects have arisen that has necissitated my having to cancel the tickets ... I bought insurance just for such emergency situations and still am not getting anywhere ... The roofer that was doing the work has cancelled and will call back when available again. I'm also starting a new job August 5th at 4pm and daily from that day for training on the 6th which will hinder my ability to be in ********* for a show.

  Ive been going back and forth with them regarding a refund for my tickets I bought for a show in *********. At this point I'm not even worried about the roof getting repaired cause the invoice they have is the invoice I have... I started a job today which will make me unable to attend the show as well. I've mentioned this several times but they're stuck on the roof. I'm over the roof. I'm unable to attend because after being out of work for a little over a year, I finally started a new job today and it's 2nd shift 4-12:30 which will not allow me to attend the show as well. All I want is a refund. If you can't give me all of it back, I would like half the cost back seeing as my husband nor I am able to attend. Not that difficult. Im coming through BBB because they are refusing to listen to me.

  They will never reach out to me, and have had plenty of opportunities to address the issue. I was involved in a car accident and moved up to ******** to get closer to family and try to get better help than what I was getting down south. I was trying to get disability but haven't heard anything from them and finally found a job after being off over a year. I need to have the roof replaced which was to occur during the day the concert but I ended up startup a new job and had to go through training that week and this week as well. They could've already refunded the money and resold the tickets but decided to keep messing around and basically just steal my insurance money.. from here I will notify the **** as well.

  I purchased (2) Premium All Day Dining passes for ***********. With each of these passes, I purchased the insurance to cover the cost of the tickets incase there was any reason we could not use the passes or any park closure during our visit. The park closed 2 hours early (8:00PM) on the evening of Saturday, June 28, 2025 due to a parkwide power outage. We were not able to eat dinner or get drinks past 8PM because the entire park was closed. We were not able to use the passes for their entirety and I filed a claim to be refunded through the insurance purchased and was denied. The reason for denial was because there was insignificant downtime due to weather.

  We booked a trip to Schlitterbahn in *************, which was supposed to take place on July 9th. Due to the recent severe flooding that occurred throughout central *****, including the Comal River (which supplies water to the park), we decided it would not be in our best interest to visit the park. This was due in part to several rides being down (due to the flooding) as well as the insensitive nature it would have been to go to the park when so many people lost their lives in the floods. There was also bad weather on July 9th that would have prevented us from enjoying the park. Please stop gatekeeping my money. We purchased the insurance for this exact reason!

  I purchased fanshield when buying six flags tickets. On date of tickets I had to stay home for fridge delivery/repair due to my fridge going out and leaking water all over the floor from the compressor. I gave a screen shot of the text from the property management of my apartment showing delivery of new fridge would be Thursday, which was the day of the event needing refunded. Fam shield states this wasn't urgent enough so would not be refunding my tickets and that I did not need to be available for this. I don't know how else I would have gotten the fridge in my apartment with out being home that day. I only want the refund for that one day as requested. I even bought tickets for the following week and unfortunately purchased fanshield again before knowing they rarely actually refund from what I've read online through thousands of complaints.

  I have submitted documents and they stated it wasn't urgent enough. I stand by my claim that this company is a scam and finds any reason to not refund people. There are thousands of complaints online proving this, just hope others look it up before purchasing the "refund insurance" and realizing its a scam company that doesn't cover anything.

  Due to family issues I was unable to attend an event. I have been reaching out to solve but due to the issue being related to mental health they are dragging there feet in regards to a refund. The listed issues that are not covered were not provided ahead of time or at time of purchase. The requirements for the refund are putting undue strain on my family as they require access to personal documentation. This company is run on a lack of empathy and near predatory business practices to exploit people at there lowest time. I would never recommend this company to anyone as they act with unclear policies, unethical behavior and feels more like a scam than a corporation.

  Still am waiting for a response, each time I speak up the company responds that I will have a representative reach out to me. Currently each time this is discussed no one has reached out to me, it seems they want to keep stringing me along without appropriate action. I will restate my claim, full refund I am wondering how much money is wasted by this lack of action within the company. I am not satisfied with this response. I am looking for a real response not a cookie cutter template with no further action taken.

  I bought coverage for my *********** (********, ****) water park tickets. The insurance was listed as for any reason on the *********** app where I purchased the reservations. The advertisement had bad weather and health issues with small icons as well. The water park was closed due to severe thunderstorms. This made us unable to use the covered orders for a cabana and all day dining. I provided documentation of this and they still refused to refund my claim. The policy I received was not the same as the policy advertised.

  We had severe weather that caused the cancellation. The ************************ had put out a severe thunder storm warning. You dont have to close a road to have severe weather  
  

  Regardless, you advertised the insurance as for bad weather or anything else. I bought the insurance based on you advertised it. If that if not what you provide then that is clear false advertising.
