I booked a Getaway to Palm Desert Westin Desert Willow Villas, for Sept 11-18-2020 through Interval International last December 2019. I bought the additional Allianz Travel Insurance to cancel if necessary; this was well before COVID 19. Now I’m supposed to travel this Friday to Palm Desert but I’d prefer to cancel because of COVID. I read through the insurance policy and even though this was well before COVID, the policy states that epidemics aren’t a valid reason to cancel. I called Interval and they won’t give me any options like, credit for future travel. I paid $501 for the one week getaway and an additional $30+ for the insurance. While this is not a lot of money, I hate to just walk away from $500. Is this just the downside of purchasing a getaway from Interval? Does anyone have any suggestions how I can get some sort of credit? Or any suggestions how I might do this differently next time?
Thanks so much, for any advice you might have.
