Since 2006, we have encouraged you to always read the fine print so you don’t get snookered by the strings and catches buried in advertisements, contracts, etc. A Georgia teacher did just that a few weeks ago and got an unexpected surprise.
She had visited a travel insurance website called SquareMouth to buy a policy for an upcoming trip. Like all insurance policies, there was a ton of fine print that could trip up a purchaser. Most people don’t have the patience to wade through that stuff, but our teacher did.
*MOUSE PRINT:
The section above says because most customers don’t read the fine print of travel insurance policies to their detriment, the company launched a contest to highlight this problem. It went on to say that the first person who spotted this section of the policy and contacted the company would win $10,000!
This smart Georgia teacher found the clause a mere 23 hours after the contest was launched, and is now $10,000 richer.
Great news on a Monday morning! Congratulations to her!
that is some great news for sure.
Lucky her. But honestly, if I found something like that in terms and conditions that I was reading online I would have assumed it was a scam because 99.99% of the time it is!
