Hi Steve, I’m really glad I reached out to you. I initially only wanted to learn about how Trip Cancellation Travel Insurance could benefit me, but your advice ended up saving me over $1,310—almost covering the cost of the insurance I bought from you. Plus, it will continue to save me money down the line. I really appreciate you bringing this to my attention. Thanks!

So, what made Tom so pleased?
Tom has achieved a high level of Marriott Elite status (the specific one is unclear). They are familiar with him, so whenever he needs to book a stay, he just calls, and they offer him their best refundable rate.
I decided to ask him, “What is the non-refundable rate?” He mentioned that he believed he was already receiving the best available rate. I encouraged him by saying, “Every time someone books a non-refundable hotel, the savings compared to the refundable rate often cover a significant portion of the travel insurance premium.”
I sensed he was hesitant to contact Marriott, but I managed to persuade him. Shortly after, I received this email from him:
“Hi Steve, I switched my Marriott Amsterdam booking from a refundable rate to a non-refundable one. Initially, it was priced at 2,743.23 Euros, but the non-refundable pre-pay rate brought it down to 1,551.64 Euros. That’s a savings of 1,191.59 Euros, which is over $1,310! Thanks for suggesting this to me.
– Tom”
I hope this tip benefits you as well!
