If I could give them zero I would

If I could give them zero I would. Made a hasty decision to switch from good long term policy due to rate increase and my friend’s recommendation. Not only did the sales rep mislead me on the significantly less coverage but when I complained they suddenly had a better plan available like my previous. I was instructed to cancel and apply again. After weeks of waiting with no coverage and no return calls, another rep said a letter was coming as that is the main form of communication. They were asking for additional vet exams and tests which I paid for and sent over. The exact same bad service experience happened again after weeks of waiting with no coverage and no return calls, another rep said they would not be covering any policy with no explanation even though I just cancelled theirs. So went online and ordered Pumpkin Pet.

Reinstatement wasn't possible after 7 yrs.

I was overjoyed to have my cat safely returned after being missing for six weeks. She was found in a city approximately seven miles from our home. Upon her return, I hoped to reinstate her insurance policy but was informed that reinstatement is not possible after 30 days. When I inquired about any possible exceptions, particularly given my unique circumstances, I was met with a firm denial. Not only was I required to open a new policy, but I was also unable to secure the same coverage as before. While I appreciate the insurance services provided, I had hoped for more flexibility or consideration, especially as a loyal Nationwide customer of seven years.
