Insurance for DVC reservations, the entire year for only $79

[OhioDVC]

I was on with MS today making a reservation and the castmember mentioned that I could get travel insurance to cover all of my DVC reservations made in my name for only $79 per year!

He stated that it would cover travel, medical and points.

Have I been asleep, I haven't heard anything this new insurance plan

I believe that this was announced at the annual meeting on 12/9/2010.

It would be nice if they would give us some detailed information about the insurance.

Yes. We are doing a DVC/Cruise and DVC/So.Cal vacation combos this year. Wonder if it would cover the entire week, especially the DCL cruise part?

If it's Travel Guard, I wouldn't get too excited.

As a Canadian teacher, I have premium health insurance, but inquired about the Travel Guard insurance a few years back, as we had a cruise planned (using points), but our baby was in hospital with pneumonia, so I was looking for cancellation/interruption based on medical reasons. We have this with our Gold VISA, but since paying with points, it wasn't valid.

Basically, there were so many exclusions and pre-existing conditions clauses, that we didn't purchase. It really didn't cover much at all. We cancelled and lost some points, and our $95.00 fee, but it was appropriate as our babe was very ill in hospital, so we rescheduled trip a few months later to just WDW. That trip insurance would have cost more than $95.00, and it wouldn't have covered anything, as our son has a history of asthma, so that is pre-existing with bronchitis/pneumonia, and that would have denied any claim we would have made.

Looking forward to hearing more about it, but at $79.00/year, that sounds way too good to be true!
