Our original post on this topic from 2013 has now been updated, refreshed and placed on the main Rewards Canada siteWith the emergence of Credit Card Emergency Travel Medical Insurance coverage over the past 7-8 years, we have been receiving more and more requests from some of Rewards Canada ‘seasoned’ readers about coverage once they hit 65 years old.

Want to cancel the flight and get a refund, it will cost you $150…
