DO NOT BUY RACE ROSTER RACE INSURANCE

If I could give this company 0 stars I would. In fact, if there were a negative stars option (perhaps 3 piles of dog poo) I would give them that. Race insurance that "doesn't cover" race cancellation is totally useless. They will only pay out if something happens to you that is so bad you will have forgotten all about the race entry fee anyway. DO NOT BUY INSURANCE THROUGH RACE ROSTER, IT IS A SCAM.

Beware

Beware, total scam, goes under many names, probably runs multiple scams. One of them is to imitate a hotel website for booking, then offers "refund insurance". I'm an experienced traveler, have stayed at many hotels and i don't usually get charged until I get there. This company takes your $ as soon as you book.. If things change and you need to cancel it's usually not a big deal unless it's less than 24 hours before check in.

However, with requestmyrefund.com (another name for this company) makes it difficult if not impossible to get a refund. Make sure you call the hotel you want to stay in directly to make reservations.

They get zero stars

They get zero stars. I cancelled a trip to Great Wolf Lodge in Wisconsin and I am fighting to get a full refund. I've sent documentation from my doctor showing why I had to cancel, and then I was asked to provide my bank account info to get my REFUND!!!! SCAM!

They steal your money.

I paid for refund protection for a half marathon. I got very sick before the race with a virus that went through our entire family (6 of us). Since it was a virus, there was nothing a doctor could have done to help, so we rode it out. They are not refunding me because I did not go to the doctor and I am livid.

Don't remember ever buying this…

Don't remember ever buying this Insurance. Booked a room from the parking lot of the hotel supposedly through an Expedia Affiliate, so why would I need this insurance. The room cost was $139.00 a night and my bill was $227.29. Shouldn't have been that much even with the tax. Somehow I didn't even get a receipt, only a charge on my debit card. Then I get an email from Protecht about my refund protection which I didn't purchase. Total SCAM. Now I can't even find a number to call to complain. I'm afraid to use any of the links in the email for fear that my account will get hacked. Don't know what to do.

Awful company

Awful company. Don't buy the insurance. I had a family member have a stroke the night i was supposed to go to a wedding, and after providing my case and records, they refuse to give me my money back. Unbelievable that a company acts this way when times are already tough. Terrible company and service too, good luck talking to someone and not getting an automated message back

Total scam company

Total scam company. Booked a race through Race Roster, and took the added insurance. Ruptured my ACL in my knee, had surgery, and despite showing them all the medical certificates, they still won’t refund.

Never gonna touch Protecht Insurance or Fanshield ever again. I feel for Race Roster as they run a good gig - they need to dump Protecht otherwise people will go elsewhere.

This company is a complete scam

This company is a complete scam. They refused to answer any emails or calls I have put in. I tore my meniscus and am not able to complete a race. They guaranteed a refund without a problem and now refuse to help.

Talk Directly to Hotel to Make Reservations

In a nutshell, when I tried to check in at the hotel, they told me what I prepaid through Protecht didn't go through. I had to pay for the stay all over again. It took more than 1 1/2 months go get this resolved after calling them every few weeks waiting for it to be credited on my card. Make sure you always talk directly to the hotel rather than going through this company. If I would have waited to pay my card bill, I would have been charge a lot in late fees and interest since this really began in May when I made the reservation. When making the reservation, I had no idea I was going through this company.

Booked hotel in error / FRAUD

Booked hotel through this site by accident. Canceled reservation immediately but I still had to request a refund. Totally a fraud. I’m trying to see the status of my refund and I can’t even get onto their site. DO NOT USE they are a fraud

This company is a joke

This company is a joke, and I cannot believe that hotels and booking company use them. I have not been able to get in touch with anyone about my refund. I need help with filling stuff out and no one will help me. Please I just want my money back.

Scam

This appears to be a scam company. Period. Do not have any dealings with this company. Will take your money and provide nothing in return, even if you purchase the extra insurance. They want police reports, hospital and Dr. reports before they will consider a refund. Will be very wary of this company in the future.

This company deserves a ZERO RATING..I…

This company deserves a ZERO RATING..I Purchased fiesta six flags, tickets, handicap parking, drink cups 2, flash pass, $ 464.35 not including insurance protection plan.. what protection I ask? on June 17th,2024 to be used on July 13th, 2024. Due to hurricane BERYL ..WE decided to cancel because a big pine tree in my back yard fell on power lines...hit my neighbors shed, and back porch..my neighbors..not my house. So due to the situation we thought the right thing to do was to stay and help out and clean up a Hugh mess at.our expense...insurance said it ( WAS ACT OF GOD) SO NO CLAIM WAS TO BE FILED. NO CLAIM. WE CANCELED WITH FANSHIELD ON JULY 9TH 2024. SAYS WOULD GET A CALL BACK IN 3 DAYS . TODAY IS JULY 19TH, ***NO CALL BACK YET. JUST E'MAILS REPEATING THE SAME INFORMATION OVER AND OVER. BUT I DID RECIEVE CASE # 16522,17299,17344,17455,17454,17442,17440,17439,17619 AND 17620 10 CASE NUMBERS NOW. EVERYTUME YOU E-MAIL FANSHIELD OR PROTECHT YOU GET A CASE NUMBER. SO I WOULD THINK SOMEONE THERE HAS SOME COMMON SENSE ? STILL NO RESPONSE BY AN AGENT? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM IS IT A ROBOT AND NO LIVE HUMAN BEING OR IS THIS..( A INTELLIGENCE) I HAVE SENT NEWS LETTERS, GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT STANDING 68 COUNTIES WERE AFFECTED..THEY WANT A POLICE REPORT why would I call 911 no one was injured or murdered. Then wants an insurance claim. Didn't file insurance. Which is non of there BUSINESS. NOTHING HAPPENED TO MY HOUSE ONCE AGAIN. THATSBWHY I THINK WE ARE COMMUNICATING WITH A ROBOT.SAME QUESTIONNOVER AND OVER. Called six flags couldn't do anything because fanshild and protecht is a 3rd part. But think about it six flags had to of signed something or at least get compensated when you buy insurance for the use of park? I really don't know. I WILL NEVER TRUST GETTING INSURANCE AGAIN. IT'S BEEN NOTHING BUT A BIG.PAIN IN MY A--. NOT WORTH IT. IF I WAS YOU DON'T TRUST THEM THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU JUST WANTING TO GET YOUR MONEY ONLY. WARNING DON'T USE PROTECHT OR FANSHIELD. I went to sheriff's dept today to get help. Which they can't unless I found out if they are a FRAUD OR SCAM...WHICH I DO BELIEVE THEY ARE LOOKING AT OTHER COMPLAINTS. HOW ARE WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO DO THIS. THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN AND START AN INVESTIGATING THE COMPANY. SOMETHING IS TERRIBLE WRONG AND NEEDS TO SEE WHAT'S UP? FBI. CIA WHO KNOWS WHY THEY DO THIS? MAKES YOU WONDER. I'VE DISPUTED THE CHARGES DUE TO FRAUD.
