Travel Protection Plan - Reference # ********* Amount **** On October 1st I purchased a cruise using a loan and purchased vacation protection. On October 4th I was hit with 3 unpredictable events that resulted in me being forced to take cancel the cruise.1. My ****** mom passed away of a heart attack. Excuse me if I can't provide a death certificate for someone who is not my biological family. It's law. I have no access. I didn't ask to be abandoned by my parents and places on ****** care for 15 years and then have the only mother you do know pass away and *** tells me thats not a good reason well...2. Hurricane *** was in a direct path of my location in ********** I had to spend unnecessary money to and evacuate 3 after the hurricane my landlord increased the rent and my renewal date was the 1st of November I am literally looking for a new place to live before I become homeless All of this was explained to this cold-hearted company and now I'm stuck paying for a cruise I can't even go on and they denied my claim this can't be right because what was the purpose of purchasing the protection for 190 dollars that they didn't refund either. Literally this about to be my 13th reasonBusiness Response

We purchased aon troop protection through ****** for our trip to and from ************ in May of 2022. Both flights were canceled. We had to pay 2 extra nights for a hotel, food, and a car we didn't get to use right away. We missed two days of our vacation due to these cancellations. Aon hasbeen giving me the runaround since then. It keeps saying assigned but not arguing further. I have called and emailed them numerous times to try to get the refunds We are due to no avail. The refund is approximately $600. Please help if you can. I will never use them again, but really need the refund they promised for the canceled flights and hotel stays. Thank you. *************************Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:Our contact with *** began on August 17, 2022. This contact was in the form of information to resolve our claim. After submitting all the information that they have requested, our last written contact was on September 6, 2022. We received two letters dated October 17, 2022. One of the letters said that no further information was needed. The second letter stated that they could not accept the covid letter from Princess ******* even though Princess did the testing. Now, instead, they are telling us that they need another document, RTPCR Test, which they had never mentioned in this three month saga.

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:This is in response to the scripted message that you recently received from AON.
1. When we purchased the insurance for our trip, we were never told that we would need a RTPCR form if we tested positive for covid and denied boarding for our cruise. At the onset of the claim, *** could not tell us how to obtain this form. We reached out on our own to Princess and Carnival **********s in ***************** and ************* for their assistance. As of this date, we still have not received the above form.
2. AON will not accept the letter that we received from Princess ********** saying that we had tested positive for covid and denied boarding for our cruise. Princess was responsible for the testing at the seaport and a Princess representative told us that we would not be able to board because of our positive test results.
3. We have not received the total refund that we requested. Princess and AON took our money but we have not received the services that we paid for.
We are very dissatisfied and feel that this is ethically poor business practice.

I bought a cruise on NCL with travel insurance for ****** for my wife and I it was paid for on June 30th 2021. Our cruise was in June of this year and on the way home because of delays we missed our connecting flight and had to stay the a night in ******** and pay for a hotel and Uber to and from the airport and meals. I submitted a claim in June as soon as we got home and was given a case #*******. I submitted all paper work and was told they have everything they need. Now 4 months later I have called them, spent hours on the phone waiting, and received 3 emails that says sorry its taking so long thanks for your patience if we need anything else we will let you know. I would like my expenses reimbursed. Judging by what others have said on here this is a common complaint I think they are just hoping you forget.Business Response

My wife and I bought Aon Insurance Vacation Plan Plus for an Adventures by ****** trip for August 21, 2022 to August 29, 2022, Reservation #********. This was an overseas trip so we purchased an extra day at the overseas hotel prior to the start of the tour. On June 30, 2022, my wife's mother passed away and we were unable to take the trip.We filed the cancelation form on July 26, 2022 Reference # ******* and submitted all the required supporting paperwork . After a month of not hearing from anyone, I called the company.They stated the volume is way up and was told that someone would get back to me within the week and that they received all required paperwork. After 2 1/2 months, I called back again and they said that it would be placed on a top priority and to call back in two weeks. I get apologies but no one to escalate my claim.

I purchased travel insurance through this company for a cruise my husband and I were going to take in ***** Unfortunately our flight was canceled and there was no flights out that would get us to our cruise on time. With that being said the royal cearribiean issued us our refund for the activities and food that we purchased and told us that we needed to get our remaining refund through our travel insurance with AON. I called AON and filed all documents necessary and was told i would get a refund in 28 between days. 28 business days go by and they would not respond to me. Kept giving me the same answer as to they were short staffed and they had an increase in claims. I finally got a hold of a supervisor on August 12th who sent me a letter via email saying I wasnt eligible for a cash refund because the cancelation wasnt a medical reason but I was eligible for a cruise credit and i would recurve the credit in the next few weeks. It has now been 9 weeks since that letter. Ive called several times and get the same answer. Increase in number of claims I want my money back for the travel insurance and for the cruise that we booked. Cruises are expensive and this is unacceptable.Business Response

We booked a cruise from ****** on the Carnival Pride on 19 June 2022. Upon booking, we purchased the Carnival travel insurance that was provided by AON Affinity. We have numerous issues during the trip to include missed connections and rebooking of flights. The claim numbers with AON Affinity were *********, *********, and *********. Over the course of several months we have received numerous emails indicating that they needed more time. Otherwise we havent heard anything from them. I just called them on 12 Oct 2022 to check status since it has been 3.5 months since submitted all the required paperwork. The call center person (*******) just said that he would escalate the claims but honestly I really dont believe them. We submitted the claims on 2 July 2022 Would appreciate the company finalize our claims and provide reimbursement appropriately.Business Response
