Travel insurance 'double cover'
It seems that, particularly with travel insurance, it's not always possible to avoid being 'double insured'. I have travel insurance as part of my bank account, however, they won't provide cover for existing medical conditions. This obviously means that I've had to buy annual travel insurance with a company that do.…

Travel Insurance general question
I like to look at reviews for many things I buy. Were holidaying in Spain for 5 days. Travel Insurance reviews all seem to be either 'great' because the "cost was low", or 'awful' because they wont pay out for claims. Having been ill abroad before , and an Axiety worrier, Im probably spending too much time on this, but…

I need to go to Barcelona and take Bus 46 from the airport T1. Is it quicker for me to take the airport shuttle bus from T1 to T2 and then take bus 46. Or is it better for me to just take Bus 46 from T1? Many thanks!

I’ve always been curious about this. My MIL is going on a cruise in June with my wife, she’s 82 (MIL not my wife) we have annual cover for the 2 of us but my MIL will only be going on this one holiday. If she gets cover now for the 7 night duration in June and she becomes unable to go, say in March, is she covered for not…

When the insurance form asks for existing medical conditions and it says anything you've been prescribed medication for, is the question essentially 'have you ever been to the doctor?'

Ryanair seems to collect even more personal data than before
Booked a flight with Ryanair. Now instead of providing my passport number they seem to want my signature, a photo of my passport via web cam (not even jpeg) and of course extra payment. Is there a way to avoid going through those shiny new hoops?

Credit card ATM withdrawal interest.
I have a Halifax Clarity CC that, when I got it some years ago, didn't charge interest for ATM withdrawals if the balance was repaid in full in the correct time period. The MSE states that interest is now charged on withdrawals even when the balance is paid in full. What does this actually mean? If I pre-load my card with…
