Poster: A snowHead

Can people advise me which banks accounts they use which provide winter sports travel insurance as part of the package that covers age 71 and over?
Many thanks (know this has been asked before BUT terms are always being changed hence the new thread).

Used to work for Barclays..
Their travel & travel plus packs cover up to the age of 80 and include winter sports for up to 31 days a year. The cover is through Aviva & depends on pre-existing medical conditions being declared as usual.
Off-piste is covered with the proviso of "Must be accompanied by a qualified guide at all times and only in areas that the resort management consider to be safe."
The travel pack is £10.50 a month and comes with RAC cover too, the other one is more and has other extras.
From my personal experience, I had a lot of positive feedback from customers who had claimed, BUT that's not to say it's always like that obviously!
I claimed this year for a days lift pass cover when La Plagne was closed for a full day re weather. Was a 2min phone call and had money in the account the next day - no proof required as it wasn't a massive amount in the grand scheme of things.
Hope that helps a bit!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Citibank's limit is age 80. You do need the right type of account.

Our travel insurance with Nationwide Flexplus account covers up to age 75....other benefits that are useful to travellers includes commission free cash withdrawals and annual European breakdown cover.

My Lloyds Platinum goes to 80. The Silver only to 60, so don't confuse the two on the website- as I did the other day.

My Aunts Nationwide account allows an age extension on the policy (you have to phone up and pay an additional premium) and, although I didn`t check the winter sports bit, covers my Aunt who`s now 93, for a lot less than I could get elsewhere.

I didn’t think they were still available for new applicants.

Ah, maybe so. Didn't think about that possibility when I posted.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I found it in the end. At one point I don’t think it was as I look for myself before renewing our annual travel insurance and the Lloyd’s one wasn’t available at that point. It is back now

Nationwide cover in their Flexplus account (£13/m) is at no extra cost for a 71 year old after 75 they charge an extra £50/a. RBS use the same insurance company, charge more for the cover (£3/month) and charge you the £50/a at age 70...Nationwide provide European cover in the breakdown section unlike RBS and unlimited call out...I moved to Nationwide last year...If you find an account holder to recommend you, you both get £100 transfer fee for switching..It will save me £150 a year....
