re tesco travel insurance: had booked a hol to eurodisney 2 years ago and son in hospital having emergency op; they paid full cost of holiday in cash to us (ie 4 x the voucher value). I was very impressed, also they paid within a couple of months.

Just to add:

If you converted your Clubcard vouchers to BA Miles, if you need to cancel you automatically get your BA Miles credited back to your BAEC account. Surcharges/taxes are also refunded. There is a small admin charge, but not one that is more than the refund (unlike the situation you will find with low cost airlines).

The BA Miles appear back in your account in minutes!

This is because BA Miles bookings are fully flexible, just like the most expensive tickets bought with money, rather than non-refundable cheapest tickets.

Have just booked for a family of 4 to Europe (annual policy).
Travel agent wanted £54 for 10 days... Travel-web annual policy including kite surfing, scuba diving, cycling etc was £58... Also covered Deals vouchers under their 'other redeemable vouchers' wording. Very pleased as now we can get next years holiday insurance 'free' in effect.

thanks.:j

I have just emailed them to check their policy on clubcard vouchers and have received the following (so have it in writing):

"We cover bookings made using Tesco Clubcard vouchers. In the case of a cancellation in such a situation, we would refund the cost of lowest fare and not the Tesco Clubcard vouchers."

We've just booked a holiday to Sri Lanka for 2 people. I'm using £1530 in Tesco vouchers, have paid about £250 as deposit and have about £700 to pay. (Incidentally this is about the most expensive trip to Sri Lanka I've seen - I could have got it for half that amount if I'd not been using Tesco vouchers)
If I had to cancel, would they reimburse all of the this?

Interested in Travel web, has anyone had to claim on a policy for vouchers?
Also, I wonder if anyone anywhere has gone to court to make an insurer pay up and what the result was.

We have a family annual travel policy with Columbus Direct and the policy document has the following wording:

"(If travel arrangements were paid for by Air Miles or by any other form of redeemable
vouchers, reimbursement will be the reinstatement of the Air Miles or redeemable vouchers to their original account. If reinstatement is not
possible, we will reimburse the lowest advertised fare by the airline for the flight in question"

By the way, it worked out much cheaper to book this through TravelSupermarket.com than directly with Columbus - even allowing for cashback via Quidco. I ticked the box to say that we did not have any pre-existing medical conditions as this was the only way to buy the policy at the cheap price. Once I had downloaded the documents, I phoned Columbus and explained that I had needed to correct the medical information that I had given as my son had just had grommets put in and also has asthma. They charged me an extra £10 or so on my credit card to fully cover him - but this still worked out by far the cheapest deal for us.

Apologies for trying to revive such an old thread, but does anyone know of any developments in this field over the last three years?

I've just booked a holiday in Egypt with Cosmos using £800 of Tesco Deals vouchers and I was offered Travel Insurance by Cosmos, as I was informed it would cover my vouchers, I declined as the quote was very high £140 for me and £50 for my husband for the single trip!!!!...rang Tesco and got a very good quote with a discount as I have a Tesco Personal Finance Credit Card ...Egypt was classed as Europe in their policy and quoted £95 for a couple , annual/European and I'm over 65, which is the age that seems to double/treble insurance quotes.....I was only given an annual policy quote though, as the trip is not for 6 months they were not able/willing to give me a quote for a single trip, the holiday has to be within the next 90days to get a quote for a single trip....also informed if I claimed I would be given 'cash'(£800) not £250.....also the invoice has arrived for the holiday and it is not the brochure price, it shows a discount, I compared the cost with using Virgin to the same hotel and got a 'Superior Nile View Room' with Cosmos for £300 less than a 'Standard Nile View' with Virgin....
