    I filed the claim, which seemed to include some unnecessary redundancy in the paperwork.
    I got an acknowledgement the claim had been filed.
    I have heard nothing since, except this survey and another questionnaire asking how well you had performed.
    Actual performance would be preferred.

    Review Updated: 12/15/2016

    My trip was delayed, and I incurred an extra expense, because the ticket provided by a third party proved invalid.

    I assumed this would be covered by my travel insurance policy. Both CSA and the broker though which I purchased the policy, Squaremouth, eventually told me that my claim should be covered by the company that provided me the ticket. This apparently will be the case, considerably to my surprise. Because the travel company will cover it, I now have no complaint about CSA on that score.

    However, I was very unhappy with the process of getting to that resolution. CSA's November 19 letter to me, signed by Shron Fortenberry of your Claims Department:
    1) never made the point to me that Vayama should cover the cost I had incurred, and
    2) instead blamed me for the problem, saying three times, "the cause of your loss was foreseeable... could have been reasonably foreseen or expected..." etc. Let me point out that Vayama sent me my itinerary and ticket information, then changed my return flight to route through Dallas instead of Chicago, and wrote me that either British Airlines would send me a new ticket or, if not, I would be able to check in with BA the night before my return trip. The change in plans again included specific flights, times, ticket information, etc. For you to tell me that I should then have foreseen that my return ticket was invalid is highly irritating and offensive to me. When a ticket agency has sent me my specific itinerary and flight information, and told me those two options, what on earth do you think I was supposed to have foreseen?

    In short, while I may concede that you are not at fault for not covering my loss (though if Vayama had shirked payment, I would still have felt CSA should have covered me -- if a travel company defaults on its promises, isn't that what you cover?), I am still angry at the tone of your letter and the repeated assertion that I should have foreseen that a routine change in flights would make my ticket invalid. Nor did you point me in the proper direction for redress.

    P.S. I now see that this survey is from Squaremouth, not CSA. ... In my last contact with Squaremouth, your representative was going to plead my case again with CSA and then get back to me. I have heard nothing since.

    Dennis from OH Verified Squaremouth Customer

    I was injured while travelling solo on a group bicycling trip in Europe and was diagnosed with various fractures. While I spent several days in the local hospital, the group trip leader, on my behalf, corresponded with CSA Travel Protection to have me medically evacuated back the U.S. Since my mobility was limited, CSA approved and arranged for a nurse to accompany me home. They booked the flight in the first class cabin so that I would be more comfortable. After rehab in the U.S., I filed my claim with CSA for the hospital bill in Europe and for the trip interruption. The claims rep advised me several times via email or phone message the progress of my claim. In just over a month, I received a phone message that the hospital bill was being paid and I should shortly receive a check for the trip interruption claim. In her message, the claims rep even said "if you receive a bill from the hospital because of any currency conversion balance due, just forward it to us for payment." CSA's claims processing was outstanding.

    I mailed the claim and received notification via email that they received the claim on 10/17. Since then I have received no information. I am not quite sure how long it takes them to adjudicate a claim and I have had no requests for further information.

    My vacation plan was cancelled by the Travel Agency. CSA was very quick in their response and professionalism in answering my queries for the out of pocket expenses incurred for the pre-trip preparations.

    The claim process with CSA is cumbersome. It also requires lots of documentation. Finally the response is super slow. I filed the claim via email and it took six days before I even received an email confirmation. The email confirmation says it might take weeks to get any response from CSA.

    All in all a slow, bureaucratic process with no clear idea when it will get resolved. Very disappointing.

    Review Updated: 12/06/2016

    It started off slow without great communication from CSA but in the end they paid the well documented claim with no hassle
