✈️ Tuesday Travel Tip
Travel insurance has a hidden deadline — and it starts the day you pay your deposit. 🛡️
Most travelers buy protection weeks after booking. But two of the most valuable benefits are only available if you buy within about 14–21 days of your FIRST trip payment (the exact window depends on the plan):
• The pre-existing condition waiver — so a condition you already have doesn't automatically knock out a claim
• Cancel For Any Reason — an add-on that can refund 50–75% of your trip cost even for a reason the policy doesn't list
Miss that window and you can still buy a plan — you just can't get those two upgrades back.
So the rule is simple: deposit day is insurance day. Even a small deposit starts the clock.
Quick poll: when do you usually buy travel protection?
🛡️ Same day I book
