Those claims used to sail through, but are currently being denied.
I’ve had several claims denied because of that under the old rules, so nothing new there.
I was simply referring to the fact that pentiumvi on a prior post claimed to always book nonrefundable rates and had no problem with that and wouldn’t pay a premium for the ability to modify a reservation. however, on a more recent post s/he now says that books refundable.
