I know I'm over-reacting. It's just one of those things where you think your loyalty would be reciprocated and, when the opportunity arises, it's not.
The customer/company relationship is like dating someone. You're not married, and if you see signs that the relationship's loyalty is a bit one-sided, perhaps it is better to move on.
Is it pure coincidence that my browser is now plastered with Hyatt Visa card ads?
Which gets to the bottom line. OP's employer has made a conscious choice not to carry travel insurance. That's probably a good decision. Across an organization, the company will get hit a few times a year and save the premiums.
But, no reason for the property to take the hit. It's just risk apportionment between two businesses. Not a marriage.
