Several years ago, back when CP started to look "iffy", I subscribed to a frequent flier insurance program that insured my points for their value in case an airline went down ^_

less value than the new, you must pay the difference at that time. EWA has information on insurance you may purchase to cover the contents of your luggage.

Unfortunately I do not remember the name of the company that offered the program. Does anyone remember?
Any further opinions on the value of such programs?
Actually Shareholder, and someone can correct me if im wrong, I think the cap on claims is an aggregate of US $7500, not $ 7500 per year. In other words when you've used up your $7500, or your points(whichever comes 1st) that is the end of your coverage.

Ha ha ha ha ha... that's pretty funny.
This has come up in several threads in the past week, given the scare stories in the press about AC's dire future, and particular the remarks of one analyst, Jacques Kefavian. The insurance you had was called Award Guard, and had been provided as part of Privilege Flyer, a benefits package related to the old INSIDE FLYER magazine, and offered by the parent company of Flyer Talk, operated by Randy Petersen. Unfortunately, in recent years, given the frail state of many US carriers, the insurance underwriter became worried about the likely liability, and reinsurance companies began to baulk at taking on the risk. This meant premiums higher than most would be prepared to pay, and thus Randy has had to curtail the program. However, those who did not let their policies lapse, are still able to get coverage, though claims are limited to about $7,500 worth of airline tickets per year.
