I wasn&#8217;t expecting any advice beyond learning how Trip Cancellation Travel Insurance could help me. Your tip saved me more than $1,310 which almost paid for the insurance I got from you and it will continue to save me money in the future. Thanks for mentioning this to me. Tom F. in Delaware<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Even though <a href=\"http:\/\/TripInsuranceStore.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TripInsuranceStore.com<\/a> sells Trip Cancellation Travel Insurance, Deanna, Kim and I also know how to save you money and grief when you&#8217;re planning a trip.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s why Tom&#8217;s happy:<br \/>\nTom achieved a high Marriott Elite status (I don&#8217;t know which one). They know him, so whenever he needs to book a stay, he calls and they give him their best refundable rate.<\/p>\n<p>So I asked him &#8220;What&#8217;s the non-refundable rate? He said he already knew he was getting their best rate, but I pushed back with &#8220;every time someone books a non-refundable hotel, the money they save versus the refundable rate pays all or a substantial part of their travel insurance premium&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I could tell he wasn&#8217;t thrilled about contacting Marriott, but I convinced him to do it. Not long after, I received this email:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hi Steve, I switched my Marriott Amsterdam booking from the refundable to the non-refundable rate. Before the change it was 2,743.23 Euros. After getting the non-refundable pre-pay rate it went down to 1,551.64 Euros. I saved 1,191.59 Euros which is more than $1,310 !!!! Thanks for mentioning this to me. Tom&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I hope this tip helps you, too.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<hr width=\"30%\" \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe Hi Steve, I&#8217;m glad I called you.
