From looking at the terms, I'm seeing the only mention of hotel in the blurb where they're relaying how well you've planned your trip before going into what the insurance does (and no mention of the word accomodation). Then I see the following in that description:

Furthermore, the definition of covered trip (at the end), says this:



Both of these lead me to believe that the trip cancelation/inturruption benefit basically covers airfare (or train tickets, bus tickets, etc.....) only, and not accommodation/hotel. Does anyone else see this differently?

Also, it notes 'rewards program associated with Your covered Account', I assume that means this would not cover frequent flyer awards, just things purchased with miles from Cap1 (Sapphire, specifically, covers trips booked with miles, I'm pretty sure). Is this correct (I'd love to be proven wrong!)?
