AIG Travel Travel Guard Gold
I filed a claim after my brand new $1000 camera was drenched with a mixed drink. I was told that I had to file with my home owner's policy first. Isn't the whole purpose of having paid extra for this insurance so that I get better coverage and don't have to take the hit with my primary? I was told that if I did not do that, I'd be limited to $500 (my deductible on my HO policy). So I filed, and was denied. Then still only got $500. Because that's all the policy covers. I can't find that anywhere in the 20pages of fine print. Feel like the adjuster was less than honest/genuine.
Rita K. would not recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to learn that your camera was damaged on your trip. The AIG Travel Guard Gold provides Secondary coverage for Baggage and Personal Effects. If a travel insurance plan is secondary, the insured person(s) would be required to file a claim with their Homeowner's insurance first. If coverage is denied or only partially provided, the travel insurance would cover the remainder, up to the policy limit.

    As stated in your policy certificate, your plan covers the following under Baggage and Personal Effects:
    "The Company will reimburse the Insured up to:

    • 500USD for the first item and thereafter

    • 250USD per each additional item

    • 500USD aggregate on all Losses to: jewelry, watches, furs, cameras and camera equipment, camcorders, computers, electronic devices, including but not limited to: lap top computers, cell phones, electronic organizers and portable CD players."

    Please call us at 800-487-4772 if you have any questions pertaining to this policy, or about primary vs secondary coverage. We would be happy to assist you.
