Barclays Pack terms and conditions
In these terms and conditions:
- ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ refers to Barclays Bank UK PLC and Barclays Insurance Services Company Limited, unless stated.
- ‘Pack holder’ is the person who made the application to purchase the Pack.
- ‘Partner’ is the person nominated by the Pack holder, who lives at the same address.
- ‘UK resident’ means a person who spends at least 183 days a year within England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
If you have a Barclays current account |
---|
You can apply for a Pack through Online Banking or the Barclays app. These terms cover your Pack. If there’s inconsistency between these and the Retail Customer Agreement, these terms take priority in relation to the Packs. Each of the benefits and services in the Pack are provided to you under a separate agreement with the provider of the relevant benefits or services and the provider is responsible for providing the relevant benefits and services to you. The provider may be a company within the Barclays group of companies or by a company outside that group. |
A Pack is a set of services (such as insurance) available to any eligible person aged 18+ for a monthly fee. You can only purchase a Pack and claim the benefits included in it if you are a UK resident.
Eligibility for Pack benefits
Before choosing a Pack, you should check that you are eligible for the benefits under each policy or feature. We will provide information and ask you questions to help you do this. For instance, you may not be eligible to claim for certain benefits because of your age or you have a pre-existing medical condition.
What you pay
You pay a monthly fee in advance for each Pack purchased, as set out in the ‘Statement of Price’ within the About Our Insurance Services section. The Pack fee includes Insurance Premium Tax at the current rate. The monthly fee is the cost of the Pack as a whole. No part of any Pack fee is attributable to any particular benefit or service in your Pack. You will not be entitled to a refund or reduction in the Pack fee if you choose not to use a benefit or service, you’re not eligible for a benefit or service, or it’s not otherwise available to you. You must have a Pack for a minimum term of six months from the date you purchase the Pack (unless we say otherwise in these terms) after which you can close the Pack at any time.
You may be able to add additional features to the services included in a Pack and we’ll tell you what these cost before you choose to add them.
By agreeing to these terms and conditions you provide Barclays authority to:
(i) debit a part payment of the monthly Pack fee to cover the period from the date on which you purchase the Pack, up to the last day of that month; and thereafter
(ii) debit the monthly Pack fee
(iii) apply a change to the monthly Pack fee subject to the appropriate notice period.
All payments will be taken in advance from your Barclays current account on the first working day of the month on an ongoing basis until your Pack is cancelled. You must ensure you have sufficient credit funds in your Barclays current account to cover the monthly Pack fee, otherwise you may incur borrowing charges in line with any arrangement you have with us.
Keeping each other informed
We need you to tell us about changes to your situation or personal details, and we’ll keep you informed about certain things that affect you. Information will only be sent to you, the Pack holder.
How we contact you
We’ll contact you, the Pack holder, using the details you have given to us. This may include using your landline phone, mobile, email or home address. If you have a Barclays current account, we may also contact you through Online Banking or the Barclays app if you use these.
You can tell us how you want us to contact you, for example by post or your available digital channel. Where we can, we’ll contact you using your preferred method. We may not always be able to do this – for example, sometimes the law may require us to send you something by post. If we send information to you at the most recent postal address you have given us and it's returned to us as undelivered, we’ll stop using that address unless we are required by law or regulation to send you information.
If you have not told us how you’d prefer us to communicate, then we’ll normally contact you by email. If we send you information through Barclays Online Banking, we’ll text you or send you an email or other electronic message reminding you to view any new message we’ve posted. Where we do this, we won’t normally send documents to your home address as well (unless we have to or you have asked us to).
Once we’ve sent a message to you, we’ll assume you have received it. So it’s important to look out for notifications like emails or texts from us.
We are always working to make our services more convenient and flexible so we may introduce new ways of communicating with you in the future.
Help us to keep your information private
It’s your responsibility to control who reads your information. When you choose how you would like us to contact you, you should choose a method that will be most secure for you. If you use a method that other people can access or read (such as a shared email address or shared mobile number), please be aware that these people will also be able to access the information we send you.
Keeping your details up to date
When we send information to you, we’ll send it to the most recent contact details we have for you. If these details change and you don’t tell us straight away, you may not receive information that could be important – or it could fall into the wrong hands. If you have given us contact details (even if you think we don’t use some of them, such as your mobile phone number), you must let us know if they change. This will include your:
- home address
- email address
- landline phone number
- mobile phone number
It’s very important that you also keep us informed if there are any changes to your situation, personal details or any other important changes that are relevant to us – for example, if you:
- change your name
- move to another country and are no longer a UK resident
If you don’t keep all your details up to date, this might affect your eligibility for Pack(s), or how they work. This is also so we can continue to manage your Pack(s), and communicate with you including notifying you of changes. We also respect your privacy and we don’t want to send you unwanted information.
If you wish to remove or change the Partner named on the Pack(s), we’ll close your Pack(s) to do this before opening a new Pack(s). The minimum term will re-start upon the purchase of a new Pack(s).
Contacting us
You can always contact us through your available digital channel, or other electronic methods we tell you about. You can also contact us by telephone using the details we give you, by visiting a branch or by post. We’ll let you know if our details change.
You can contact us by any of the following methods:
- Log into the Barclays app and select the ‘call us’ feature
- By telephone on 0800 158 3199
- Visit your local branch
- In writing to Barclays, Leicester LE87 2BB
Closing your Pack or leaving Barclays
Whilst we’d be very sorry to lose you, you can close your Pack within the 14-day cooling off period, which starts the day your Pack is purchased or you receive your Welcome Pack, whichever is later. If you close your Pack within this period and have paid your first monthly Pack fee, it will be refunded. You can also cancel or close your Pack at any time after the minimum term explained below has ended. If we need to close your Pack, we’ll follow the process set out below.
Duration and Minimum Term
You must have a Pack for a minimum term of six months from the date you open the Pack, after which the Pack will automatically renew on a monthly basis and after which you can close the Pack at any time. There are some exceptions to this minimum term requirement. You may close your Pack:
- within the 14-day cooling-off period as set out above
- if you experience financial hardship due to a significant change in personal circumstances, for example, you’re declared bankrupt
- if you’re no longer resident in the UK
- after we have notified you of an unfavourable change to the terms of the Pack you hold, such as an increase in price or a change in what the Pack provides (provided that you do so before the change takes effect)
- if you have Travel Pack or Travel Plus Pack and are no longer eligible for the travel insurance benefit as you are 80 years of age
- if you have Travel Pack or Travel Plus Pack and serious ill health, injury or mental incapacity prevents you from travelling or death of the Pack holder, spouse/partner
If you tell us you want to close your Pack, closure will take effect on the day that we receive notice from you (so the insurance and your right to receive any of the other services within the Pack will end on the date we receive your notice). You will receive a part refund for the remaining number of days in that month, including the day we receive your notice. You won’t be able to use any benefits or services linked to it any more although you can still make a claim for an event which occurred whilst you were insured.
We will not let you re-select the same Pack for 12 months if you cancel it within the minimum term, or your Barclays current account is closed by Barclays Financial Assistance or if you do not comply with these terms and conditions.
You are unable to cancel individual insurance Pack products, only the whole Pack.
You can cancel your Pack within the Barclays app, Online Banking, by calling us, visiting a branch or by writing to Barclays, Leicester LE87 2BB.
When we can close a Pack
We can close a Pack by giving you at least 30 calendar days’ notice. This also applies during the minimum term. However, we may close your Pack immediately or on less notice if we reasonably believe you have seriously or persistently broken any terms of the agreement or we reasonably believe any of the following applies:
- you put us in a position where we might break a law, regulation, code or other duty that applies to us if we maintain your Pack
- you give us any false or inaccurate information at any time
- you commit (or attempt) fraud against us or someone else
- you behave in a threatening or abusive manner to our staff
- you become bankrupt
- your Barclays current account is closed by Barclays Financial Assistance
The insurer may also cancel the insurance policies within Travel Plus Pack as set out in the terms and conditions of the policy document.
Using the Current Account Switch Service
If you decide to switch your current account from us by using the Current Account Switch Service, your Pack will be closed on the same day that your Current Account is closed.
Changes we can make to this agreement
Sometimes we’ll want or need to change things, such as charges or terms of our agreement. For most changes, we’ll tell you in advance, but we don’t always need to do this.
We review the Packs from time to time and may make changes to them, including the benefits and services included in a Pack or the providers of these or the monthly Pack fee. We may also make changes to the terms on which each benefit is provided (such as changes to the terms of an individual policy). We’ll give you 30 calendar days’ notice before any changes apply.
If we make changes to a Pack, we will provide information about you to any new provider to make sure there is no interruption in the benefit or service you receive. The new provider will use your information to provide you with the benefits and services.
Changes we need to tell you about in advance
We may make changes to your agreement with us because:
- we’re changing a service we already offer, or introducing a new service that needs a change to the terms of this agreement, such as introducing a new charge
- we’re changing the agreement to be in line with the banking industry and our competitors
- we’re withdrawing a service or type of Pack
- we’re moving you from one type of Pack to another for a good reason – examples of this include where we’re withdrawing a Pack
- we need to make changes to take account of developments (or changes we reasonably expect to help) in technology (including the systems we use to run our business), or in the banking system generally
- our agreement or the Pack is affected by a change in the law or regulation (including industry codes we follow) or decisions of the Financial Ombudsman, a regulator or court
- changes in our costs (including changes we reasonably expect to happen) mean we need to change or introduce charges
Because you may have your Pack with us for many years, we need the flexibility to manage our business long term, including providing a sufficient financial return for us to operate our business in a prudent and sustainable manner. We can’t predict everything that may affect our business, so there may be other reasons we have not set out above when we need to make a change. But please be assured we’ll only make changes we think are fair and will give you 30 calendar days' notice of the change unless we are prevented from doing so by law or regulation, or the change is in your favour.
If we give you notice as set out above and you don’t tell us you want to close your Pack, then we’ll treat you as having accepted the change. If you don’t want to accept the change and want to end this agreement and close the Pack, you must tell us before the proposed change applies.
Changes we don’t need to tell you about in advance
We don’t have to tell you about changes to these terms and conditions (or changes in the insurer terms and conditions) in advance when any of the following happen:
- if the change is in your favour
- we make a change because a change in law or regulation says that we have to by a particular date, and there isn’t time to give you notice.
Instructions for your Pack(s)
We will only accept instructions from the Pack holder about the Pack (including to change your contact preferences and to apply for new Packs, products and services).
Your partner will be able to register a product, if required, or make a claim for the Pack benefits or services. They cannot provide any other instructions in relation to the Pack.
If you think your security has been compromised
If you think someone (except someone you have asked to provide Pack information) has used or is able to use any of the means of access to your Pack, you must tell us as soon as you can by using the contact details shown in the ‘Unauthorised access to your Pack?’ section.
If you have a Barclays current account, we can arrange to temporarily suspend access to a service (such as Telephone Banking) to prevent anyone misusing your Pack(s).
You must give us any information we ask for about what has happened. We’ll pass this to the police if we have to, or if we think that will be useful.

Using information about you
Barclays is committed to protecting your personal data. We will use your information for a number of different purposes, for example, to manage your Pack(s), to provide our products and services to you and others and to meet our legal and regulatory obligations. We may also share your information with our trusted 3rd parties for these purposes. For more detailed information on how and why we use your information, including the rights in relation to your personal data, and our legal grounds for using it, please go to barclays.co.uk/control-your-data or you can request a copy from us.
Credit Reference Agencies and Fraud Prevention Agencies
In order to process your application, we will supply your personal information to credit reference agencies and fraud prevention agencies and they will give us information about you, such as about your financial history. We do this to assess creditworthiness and product suitability, check your identity, manage your account, trace and record debts and prevent criminal activity. These agencies may in turn share your personal information with other organisations. If fraud is detected, you could be refused certain services, finance or employment.
Once you open a Pack with us, we will share pack data with the credit reference agencies on an ongoing basis.
If false or inaccurate information is provided to us and fraud is identified, details may be passed to credit reference and fraud prevention agencies to prevent fraud and money laundering and to verify your identity.
The Credit Reference Agency Information Notice (CRAIN) describes how the three main credit reference agencies in the UK each use and share personal data. The CRAIN is available on the credit reference agencies websites:
Or you can ask us for a copy of these.

2. Making a claim
What you need to do
If you have a medical emergency contact the 24-hour Medical Assistance number on 0044 1603 604 976
In life-threatening situations seek medical attention immediately, don’t delay getting help but do call our 24-hour medical assistance helpline as soon as you can. Our team will coordinate your treatment which may include moving you to another hospital or arranging to bring you home early. If necessary, we can arrange for a telephone consultation with our UK GPs.
In non life-threatening situations contact our 24-hour medical assistance helpline before making any arrangements for
- Admission to hospital
- Treatment, tests or investigations as an outpatient
- Repeat consultations with a doctor
For a minor illness or injury treated with medication from a pharmacy or one-off treatment at a clinic, keep any receipts for costs incurred and contact us when you get home. If you need assistance contact the 24 hour medical assistance helpline at any time.
Unrecoverable costs
Your travel policy provides cover for unrecoverable costs. If you need to make a claim for travel, accommodation or costs related to your trip which any insured person has paid (or legally has to pay), we will consider claims for costs which are unrecoverable from your travel and/or accommodation provider or agent, a debit/credit card company, PayPal, ABTA, ATOL (or similar organisations).
For example, if your trip is cancelled by your tour operator or booking agent you may have a right to a refund for some or all of the cost of your trip.
If you can’t recover all of your costs and your circumstances are covered by the terms of your policy, we’ll consider the costs you’ve been unable to recover.
Information to support your claim
When you make a claim, we may ask you for
- Proof of booking and any costs paid
- Details of any refund you have been able to obtain
- Evidence that you’re not able to recover your costs elsewhere
Please check these terms and conditions carefully to ensure you
- Understand what is and isn’t covered
- Contact the relevant helpline as soon as you can for assistance
- Keep any documentation that we require. You’ll need to provide this in order for us to validate and settle your claim – we may refuse to pay your costs where you cannot provide this
All our claims lines are open 24 hours a day, and for claims which aren’t an emergency you can also make a claim online. See section ‘1. How to get help’ for full information.

Limits and excesses
All limits in this policy are per person (apart from Personal liability, which is per incident, per policy).
You’ll need to pay the first £50 of any claim per insured person, per incident, per trip (unless stated otherwise). This means that if the total value of your claim is less than £50 we won’t make any payment to you.
If any one incident results in you claiming under more than one section of the policy you’ll only pay one excess, and where two or more people claim for the same incident, the most you’ll pay is twice the excess.
Claims conditions
Your duties
You must
- Contact us as soon as reasonably possible and provide all the information, documents, evidence and help we need to settle your claim or pursue a recovery
- Tell us if you’re aware of any writ, summons or prosecution
- Send us every communication relating to a claim as soon as possible
You or any person acting for you, must not negotiate, admit or reject any claim without our permission in writing.
Our rights
If we want to, we can take over and conduct in the name of the person claiming under the policy, the defence or settlement of any claim or issue proceedings for our own benefit to recover any payment we have made under this policy. We shall have full discretion in the conduct of any proceedings or the settlement of any claim.
Claims
You or your legal representative must pay for any certificates, information, or other evidence we may need. For example death or medical certificates, medical reports, police reports or purchase receipts. These costs will not be covered by the policy. We may also ask you for evidence that your main home is in the UK.
If your claim is for personal belongings (or winter sports equipment) it may affect your claim if you cannot prove the value of, and that you were responsible for the lost, stolen, or damaged items. For example a receipt or credit card or bank statement showing evidence of the purchase, proof of withdrawal or a currency exchange receipt. If you’re claiming for damage, we may ask you to send us the broken item.
If we make a payment before cover is confirmed and our claims investigation reveals that no cover exists, you must pay us back any amount which we’ve paid that you’re not covered for.
If you make a medical claim, you may be asked to provide consent for us to access your medical reports in accordance with the Access to Medical Reports Act 1998. Depending on the circumstances, you may also be asked for consent to access other medical or healthcare records. We’ll use this information to deal with your claim, including assessing whether cover applies and assisting the treating doctor in providing you with the most appropriate treatment. Without this information, we may not be able to deal with your claim.
We’ll assess whether any proposed treatment is an emergency or whether it can wait until you’ve returned home. If appropriate, we’ll arrange for your return to the UK.
In the event of a claim for injury or illness, we may request and pay for you to be medically examined on our behalf. We may request and pay for a post-mortem in the event of a claim for death.
3. Things you need to know about this travel insurance
Eligibility
Who’s covered
This policy provides cover for the following ‘insured person(s)’
- ‘You’ – the Pack holder aged 79 or under when the trip starts
- ‘Your partner’ - who will need to live with you as a couple and be aged 79 or under when the trip starts
- ‘Your children’ - you and/or your partner’s dependent children aged under 23 when the trip starts (including stepchildren and foster children)
Children are only covered when travelling with you or your partner, or on their own to stay at the home of close relatives who live abroad.
To be covered, your main home address must be in the UK. Additionally, all insured persons must
- Be a resident of the UK (living in the UK for more than 183 days a year)
- Be registered with a UK doctor
Cover will be in place whilst you are a holder of this Pack and will end when one of the ‘Automatic termination of cover’ events shown in section ‘6. General Conditions’ occurs.
Trip limits and restrictions
Trip duration limit
We’ll provide the insured persons with the cover set out in these terms and conditions for trips up to a maximum of 31 days long (except winter sports which is covered for a maximum of 31 days per calendar year). We won’t cover any incident which occurs after 31 days unless an upgrade has been purchased.
Longer trip upgrade
If anyone insured by this policy is booking a trip that will last longer than 31 days, this upgrade will provide cover for the entire duration of the trip up to a maximum of 120 days. A return trip must have been booked before you can buy this upgrade. To find out how to get a quote see section ‘1. How to get help’.
If we offer an upgrade, there will be a premium for you to pay. The upgrade is not available for winter sports holidays. We won’t cover any incident which occurs after the trip duration has been reached.
By ‘trip’ we mean a journey that begins and ends in England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland (‘UK’), where the journey starts after the Pack was purchased, and where the return journey has been booked before leaving the UK, for any combination of the following:
- Holidays, for example winter sports holidays, cruises, and travel for other personal reasons unrelated to an insured person’s employment
- Voluntary, charity or conservation work, or fundraising for a registered charity or conservation organisation
- Travel outside the UK in connection with an insured person’s job to carry out non-manual work such as administrative tasks, meetings and conferences.
Cover automatically applies for each trip booked. You only need to contact us if you need cover for pre-existing medical conditions, or if a trip’s being booked to last longer than 31 days.
If a trip or part of a trip is arranged for any reason other than those listed above, alternative travel insurance should be sought, we won’t pay any claim in these circumstances. If a trip is in connection with an insured person’s job, they should check if the employer has travel insurance that can provide cover.
UK trips
If the trip is solely within the UK, cover will only apply where the insured person is away from home for at least 2 consecutive nights. They must also have either pre-booked holiday accommodation in a commercially run premises, or prepaid bookings on public transport including flights or ferries.
We won’t cover
Any part of any trip arranged
- that started before the Pack was purchased.
- in connection with an insured person’s job where the trip involves manual or physical work of any kind, working with children, providing healthcare, policing, security or military service or an insured person’s role as a politician, religious leader, professional entertainer or sportsperson.
- to carry out charity or conservation work where this involves working in a healthcare environment or working at heights of more than 3 metres.
- to seek medical treatment or advice.
- to give birth or to collect newly adopted or surrogate children.
Known events
This policy provides cover for unexpected and unforeseen events and circumstances, for example, having an accident while on holiday and needing urgent medical treatment.
We won’t cover
There is no cover in relation to any event, incident or circumstances if, at the time you purchased this Pack or a trip was booked (whichever is later), the insured person knew, or could reasonably be expected to have known, that
- the event or incident had already occurred or was going to occur; or
- the circumstances existed, or were going to exist,
and the event, incident or circumstances could reasonably be expected to affect the insured person’s travel plans.
For example:
You’d reasonably be expected to know of any event, incident or circumstances (like an air traffic control strike) that had been widely reported in the media in the UK at the time you purchased this Pack or booked your trip (whichever is later).
There’d be no cover for cancellation of your trip if your travel plans were disrupted because flights were cancelled or any government or authority closed their borders, and these cancellations or restrictions were in place or had been announced at the time you purchased your Pack or booked your trip (whichever is later).
Please refer to section ‘6. General Exclusions’.
Travel advice of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)
FCDO – travel advice by country
Any travel restrictions or advisory notices for countries planned to visit may impact the cover provided by this policy.
We’ll provide cover should a trip be booked and then the insured person needs to cancel the trip or return home early as a result of the FCDO advising against all travel or all but essential travel to the destination, or where British nationals are advised to return home.
Before booking a trip and again before travelling, check the FCDO website gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice - it’s packed with essential travel advice and tips, plus up to date information about different countries.
We won’t cover
Any claim that happens as a result of an insured person
- travelling against the advice of the FCDO.
- not complying with advice or measures which have been put in place by a government in the UK or overseas, for example quarantine rules or curfews.
- not having the correct travel documents or not meeting the entry requirements to a country they’re travelling to or through (for example visas or vaccination records).
Reciprocal healthcare agreements
The UK has reciprocal healthcare agreements with a number of countries and territories worldwide. As a UK resident, these agreements mean that you may be entitled to urgent medical treatment at a reduced cost, or in some cases for free. We strongly recommend checking if the country being travelled to has a reciprocal healthcare agreement in place and what the requirements are before leaving the UK. More information can be found online at nhs.uk and search for healthcare abroad.
Period of Insurance
Each trip taken whilst the Pack is in force will be treated as a separate period of insurance; individually subject to all policy terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions. Cover for each separate trip applies as follows
- Cancellation cover begins from the date you purchase the Pack or the date of booking each separate trip (whichever is later) and ends when the insured person leaves home to start the trip
- Cover under all other sections begins when the insured person leaves home to start the trip, and ends upon returning home providing that the trip does not exceed the trip limit of 31 days (unless you’ve purchased the Longer trip upgrade). There’s no cover for any incident that occurs after the trip duration has been reached.
Extension of cover
If the insured person can’t get back to the UK before the trip limit ends, this insurance will remain in force
- for up to 14 days if any vehicle the insured person is travelling in breaks down or their pre-booked transport is cancelled or delayed.
- for as long as is deemed medically necessary by us for the insured person to remain abroad (having consulted with their treating doctor), providing there’s a valid claim for emergency medical treatment under this policy.
- for as long as is necessary in the event the insured person is quarantined.
Information and changes we need to know about
You must take reasonable care to provide complete and accurate answers to the questions asked when you take out this Pack or make changes to it.
When we are notified of a change, we’ll let you know if it affects your policy. For example whether we’re able to accept the change and if so, whether the change will result in revised terms or an additional premium. If the information provided by you is not complete and accurate, depending upon the information that you’ve given us, we may
- amend the underwriting decision(s) for declared pre-existing medical condition(s) which may result in accepted conditions being excluded or an additional premium.
- refuse to pay any claim.
- cancel this policy.
You need to tell Barclays
- if you move address. If this means that you are no longer a UK resident or your main address is no longer in the UK then all the cover under this policy will end.
- if you change your name (this affects our ability to maintain and service your policy).
4. Your health
Pre-existing medical conditions – please read this section carefully.
This travel insurance is not a general health or private medical insurance policy and will only cover sudden and unexpected illness or accidents which happen after you purchase your Pack or book a trip (whichever is later).
In some cases, we may be able to offer cover for pre-existing medical conditions. You should read below to find out what medical conditions you need to tell us about and when you need to tell us.
What you need to tell us
By ‘pre-existing medical condition’ we mean any diagnosed illness, injury or disease where in the 12 months before purchasing your Pack or booking a trip (whichever is later) any of the following applies.
An insured person has
- been prescribed medication, including newly prescribed or repeat medication.
- received or is awaiting medical treatment, investigations or tests carried out by a medical professional.
- been referred to, or had follow up with a specialist or consultant.
- been admitted to hospital or had surgery.
When you need to tell us
- When you purchase your pack
- If someone’s diagnosed with a new condition (and doesn’t have a valid upgrade in place), let us know before booking a trip
- At expiry of a valid pre-existing conditions upgrade, we’ll remind you to do this when your upgrade is about to end.
You can use the Barclays app or Online Banking to let us know securely online about any medical conditions that you, your partner or your children have.
If you have a pre-existing conditions upgrade in place, you don't need to tell us about changes to the health of anyone you’ve covered on the upgrade until it ends - see the information under the heading ‘Pre-existing conditions upgrade' for more information about how this works.
What’s not covered
Unless you have a valid upgrade in place, we won’t cover any claim for any insured person arising directly or indirectly from:
- Any pre-existing medical condition
- Any symptoms for which a diagnosis has been sought but not yet received, that the insured person was aware of prior to booking a trip (or purchasing a Pack, whichever is later)
Whether you have a valid upgrade in place or not, there’s no cover for any claim for any insured person arising directly or indirectly from any of the following:
- Prescribed medication not being taken as directed.
- Travelling against the advice of a doctor or purposely travelling without medical advice when it was reasonable to have consulted a doctor.
- Travelling with the intention of seeking medical advice or treatment, undergoing medical investigations, or any complications or new conditions found as a result of that advice, treatment or investigation.
- An insured person booking a trip or travelling when they have received a terminal prognosis.
Pre-existing conditions upgrade
We’ll assess the information you give us about pre-existing medical conditions, and if cover can be offered, we’ll let you know whether there’ll be an additional cost to you.
How it works
- Where cover can be offered, you can choose whether to extend the travel insurance to cover claims arising from the insured person’s pre-existing medical conditions.
- Once cover is in place there’s no need to tell us about changes to the health of the insured person(s) you’ve bought the upgrade for until the upgrade ends, we’ll cover changes to the conditions you told us about as well as any new symptoms, and any new diagnoses until the end date shown on your schedule.
Adding another person to your pre-existing conditions upgrade
If you already have an upgrade in place and there’s a change in another insured person’s health that means they need cover, we’ll add their details to the same upgrade. This means the end date on your schedule won’t change.
Where cover can be offered for the additional person and you choose to pay the premium, the cost you pay will be adjusted accordingly based on the number of days that person is covered.
Important information about the upgrade
- The pre-existing conditions upgrade is an annual contract and begins on the start date shown on the upgrade schedule, which will be provided to you when you take out or make changes to your cover. Cover will continue for a period of 12 months from the start date unless it is cancelled by you or us before then. See section ‘7. General conditions’ for full details about cancellation. The only exception to this is where the insured person(s) will reach the eligibility age limit within those 12 months, where this applies it will be made clear to you how long the cover will last when you take out your upgrade, and the dates of cover will be shown on your upgrade schedule.
- If an insured person is on a trip when your upgrade expires the cover will cease when the trip ends.
- We’ll contact you in writing at least 21 days before the end date on your schedule. To continue cover (including for any trips you’ve already booked), you’ll need to complete a new medical assessment. This is because we know your health changes over time, keeping your details updated annually means we can provide you with an accurate quote for the cover you need.
- The upgrade is only valid if your Pack is active and you remain eligible for the travel insurance.
- If you have a trip that was booked before the expiry date of your upgrade and we are unable to continue to cover your medical condition(s) you can make a cancellation claim.
- Our risk assessment system is updated on a regular basis. This might mean that the cover we offer and the premium we charge for your medical conditions may change even if your health has not changed.

7. General conditions
Your cancellation rights
You have a statutory 14-day period in which to cancel this policy. This period begins on the date you purchase this Pack or the date you receive your policy document, whichever is later. If you’ve paid your first monthly Pack fee and cancel within this period, it will be refunded.
For your cancellation rights outside the 14-day period, please refer to ‘Closing your Pack’ in the Barclays Pack(s) terms and conditions within this Welcome Pack.
Upgrades
- You have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days from the day of purchase of the upgrade or the day on which you receive your documents, whichever is later. If you wish to cancel, you’ll be entitled to a full refund of any premium paid provided no one insured by this Pack has travelled, and there‘s been no claim or incident likely to give rise to a claim. If you don’t exercise your right to cancel, cover will continue in force and you will need to pay any premium due.
- For cancellations outside this 14-day period no refund of premium will be made.
Our cancellation rights
Barclays may cancel the Worldwide Travel Insurance immediately on our behalf by sending at least 7 days’ written notice to your last known postal and/or email address setting out the reason for cancellation. Valid reasons include but are not limited to the following:
- Where we reasonably suspect fraud.
- Where you fail to co-operate with us or provide us with information or documentation we reasonably require and this affects our ability to process a claim or defend our interests.
- Where you haven’t taken reasonable care to provide complete and accurate answers to the questions we ask. See section ‘4. Your health’, and ‘Information and changes you need to tell us about’ in section ‘3. Things you need to know about this insurance’.

Automatic termination of cover
The policy will remain in force until the first of the following automatic termination events occur.

- is no longer a UK resident, or changes their main address to a non UK address.
Barclays removes the Pack for one of the reasons in the ‘Closing your Pack’ section in Barclays Pack(s) terms and conditions within this Welcome Pack.
If an insured person isn’t eligible for the travel insurance cover, there will be no refund or reduction in the Pack fee.
As your circumstances may change over time, it’s important that you review the terms and conditions of your worldwide travel insurance regularly to check you remain eligible and that the cover remains adequate for your needs.
If an insured person is on a trip at the time an automatic termination event occurs, all cover will cease when the trip ends.
When we can make changes to your cover
We can, at any time and after taking a fair and reasonable view, make changes to your Travel Insurance terms and conditions, to reflect changes in our expectations of the future likely cost of providing cover. Policy cover may increase or decrease, but the changes will not be made for the sake of recouping past losses. When doing so we will only consider one or more of the following:
- Our experience and expectations of the cost of providing this product and/or other Aviva products of a similar nature.
- Information reasonably available to us on the actual and expected claims experience of insurers of similar products.
- Widely available economic information such as inflation rates and exchange rates.
Additionally, we can, at any time and after taking a fair and reasonable view, make changes to your Travel Insurance terms and conditions:
- to reflect changes (affecting us or your policy) in the law or regulation or the interpretation of law or regulation, or changes in taxation.
- to reflect decisions or recommendations of an Ombudsman, regulator or similar person, or any code of practice, with which we intend to comply.
- in order to make your policy clearer and fairer to you or to rectify any mistakes that may be discovered in due course.
Changes (together with the reasons for such changes) will be notified to you in writing at least 30 days in advance.
Claims fraud
If your claim is in any way dishonest or exaggerated, we will not pay any benefit under this policy, and we may cancel your policy immediately and backdate the cancellation to the date of the fraudulent claim. We may also take legal action against you to include recovery of any sums paid to you in respect of the fraudulent claim.
Contribution to claim
If, at the time of an incident which results in a claim under this policy, there’s any other insurance or other source covering the same loss, damage, expense or liability, we’re entitled to approach that insurer and/or other source for a contribution towards the claim and will only pay our share.
Your duty to prevent injury, loss, theft or damage
You and all insured persons must take all reasonable precautions to protect yourselves, your property, and the property of others.
Transfer of rights
You cannot transfer your rights under this policy. A person, partnership (whether limited or not) or company who is not insured under this policy has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of its terms.
Payments made under compulsory insurance regulations and rights of recovery
If the law of a country in which this policy operates requires us to settle a claim which, if this law had not existed, we would not be obliged to pay, we shall be entitled to recover such payments from the relevant person insured or the person who incurred the liability.
Choice of law

Privacy overview
Aviva privacy notice
Personal information
We collect and use personal information about you so that we can provide you with a policy that suits your insurance needs. This notice explains the most important aspects of how we use your information but you can get more information about the terms we use and view our full privacy policy at aviva.co.uk/privacypolicy or request a copy by writing to us at Aviva, Freepost, Mailing Exclusion Team, Unit 5, Wanlip Road Ind Est, Syston, Leicester LE7 1PD.
The data controller responsible for this personal information is Aviva Insurance Limited as the insurer of the product. Additional controllers include Barclays, who are responsible for the sale and distribution of the product, and any applicable insurers, reinsurers or brokers we use.
Personal information we collect and how we use it
We will use personal information collected from you and obtained from other sources:
- to provide you with insurance: we need this to decide if we can offer insurance to you and if so on what terms and also to administer your policy, handle any claims and manage any renewal
- to support legitimate interests that we have as a business. We need this to:
- manage arrangements we have with our insurers, reinsurers and brokers we use, and for the detection and prevention of fraud
- to meet any applicable legal or regulatory obligations: we need this to meet compliance requirements with our regulators (e.g. Financial Conduct Authority), to comply with law enforcement and to manage legal claims, and
- to carry out other activities that are in the public interest: for example, we may need to use personal information to carry out anti-money laundering checks.
We may also use personal information about other people, for example family members you wish to insure on a policy. If you are providing information about another person we expect you to ensure that they know you are doing so. You might find it helpful to show them this privacy notice.
The personal information we collect and use will include name, address, date of birth and financial information. If a claim is made we will also collect personal information about the claim from you and any relevant third parties. We may also need to ask for details relating to the health or any unspent offences or criminal convictions of you or somebody else covered under your policy. We recognise that information about health and offences or criminal convictions is particularly sensitive information. We’ll ensure that we only use that information where we need to for our insurance purposes (including assessing the terms of your insurance contract, dealing with changes to your policy and/or dealing with claims).
There may be times when we need consent to use personal information for a specific reason. If this happens we will make this clear to you at the time. If you give us consent to using personal information, you are free to withdraw this at any time by contacting us – refer to the ‘Contacting us’ details below. Please note that if consent to use this information is withdrawn we will not be able to continue to process the information you gave us for this/these purpose(s). This would not affect our use of the information where consent is not required.
Of course, you don’t have to provide us with any personal information, but if you don’t provide the information we need we may not be able to proceed with your application or any claim you make.
Some of the information we use as part of this application may be provided to us by a third party. This may include information already held about you within the Aviva group, including details from previous quotes and claims, information we obtain from publicly available records, our trusted third parties and from industry databases, including fraud prevention agencies and databases.
Credit Reference Agency Searches
To ensure the Insurer has the necessary facts to assess your insurance risk, verify your identity, help prevent fraud and provide you with our best premium and payment options, the Insurer may need to obtain information relating to you at quotation, renewal and in certain circumstances where policy amendments are requested. The Insurer or their agents may undertake checks against publicly available information (such as electoral roll, county court judgments, bankruptcy orders or repossession(s)). Similar checks may be made when assessing claims.
The identity of our Credit Reference Agency and the ways in which they use and share personal information, are explained in more detail at transunion.co.uk/crain
Automated decision making
We carry out automated decision making to decide whether we can provide insurance to you and on what terms, deal with claims or carry out fraud checks. In particular we may use an automated underwriting engine to provide a quote for this product, using the information we have collected.
How we share your personal information with others
We may share your personal information:
- with the Aviva group, our agents and third parties who provide services to us, Barclays and other insurers (either directly or via those acting for the insurer such as loss adjusters or investigators) to help us administer our products and services
- with regulatory bodies and law enforcement bodies, including the police, e.g. if we are required to do so to comply with a relevant legal or regulatory obligation
- with other organisations including insurers, public bodies and the police (either directly or using shared databases) for fraud prevention and detection purposes
- with reinsurers who provide reinsurance services to Aviva and for each other in respect of risks underwritten by Aviva, with insurers who cover Aviva under its group insurance policies and with our brokers who arrange and manage such reinsurance and insurance arrangements. They will use your data to decide whether to provide reinsurance and insurance cover, arrange and manage such cover, assess and deal with reinsurance and insurance claims under such cover and to meet legal obligations. They will keep your data for the period necessary for these purposes and may need to disclose it to other companies within their group, their agents and third party service providers, law enforcement and regulatory bodies.
Some of the organisations we share information with may be located outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”). We’ll always take steps to ensure that any transfer of information outside of Europe is carefully managed to protect your privacy rights. For more information on this please see our Privacy Policy or contact us.
How long we keep your personal information for
We maintain a retention policy to ensure we only keep personal information for as long as we reasonably need it for the purposes explained in this notice. We need to keep information for the period necessary to administer your insurance and deal with claims and queries on your policy.
We may also need to keep information after our relationship with you has ended, for example to ensure we have an accurate record in the event of any complaints or challenges, carry out relevant fraud checks, or where we are required to do so for legal, regulatory or tax purposes.
Your rights
You have various rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to request access to your personal information, correct any mistakes on our records, erase or restrict records where they are no longer required, object to use of personal information based on legitimate business interests, including profiling and marketing, ask not to be subject to automated decision making if the decision produces legal or other significant effects on you, and data portability. For more details in relation to your rights, including how to exercise them, please see our full privacy policy or contact us – refer to the ‘Contacting us’ details below.
Contacting us
If you have any questions about how we use personal information, or if you want to exercise your rights stated above, please contact our Data Protection team by either emailing them at dataprt@aviva.com or writing to the Data Protection Officer, Pitheavlis, Perth PH2 0NH.
If you have a complaint or concern about how we use your personal information, please contact us in the first instance and we will attempt to resolve the issue as soon as possible. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office at any time.
Fraud prevention and detection
In order to prevent and detect fraud we may at any time share information about you with other organisations and public bodies including the police.

The persons named on the Travel Plus Pack as being covered under this policy.
Important info about your policy
- This policy offers services for the breakdown of vehicles. It meets the demands and needs of those who wish to ensure the risk of breakdown is met now and in the future.
- All requests for service must be made to us.
- Your policy covers you in any vehicle. You can be a driver or passenger.
How long am I covered for and how many claims can I make?
This breakdown policy is a part of the Travel Plus Pack. You are covered while your Travel Plus Pack is active.
- There is no limit on the number of claims you can make under UK cover.
- European breakdown cover has a £2500 limit per claim. You can make up to 2 claims in each 12-month period (starting on the date you first added the Travel Plus Pack). Each trip must be for no more than 90 days and must start and end at home. Your policy must be active for the duration of your trip.
What vehicles am I covered in?
Only vehicles that are privately owned or leased and used only for private use are covered. This means the vehicle should be registered in your name or another individual and used for social, domestic, pleasure, and commuting to and from a permanent place of work.
Cover is not provided for company cars or other vehicles used for business, even if you are not using it for business at the time. Business use includes hire and reward, delivery use and sign written vehicles.
Caravans and trailers
In the UK
If your caravan or trailer breaks down in the UK, we will only send help to try and repair it at the roadside. This could be a permanent or temporary repair. We will only recover a caravan if it is attached to a broken-down vehicle.
In Europe
We do not provide cover for caravans or trailers as standard, and if your caravan or trailer breaks down, no cover will be provided.
If, however, you are towing a caravan or trailer at the time your vehicle breaks down and we are unable to fix your vehicle at the roadside, we can recover your caravan or trailer together with your vehicle if you pay a supplement.
We cannot arrange a replacement caravan or trailer or guarantee a hire car with a tow bar.
If your vehicle has broken down, you may need to leave your caravan or trailer with the vehicle while it’s being repaired. If your vehicle can’t be repaired, we may have to bring it back to the UK with your vehicle.
We cannot normally provide a hire car with a tow bar, so if your caravan or trailer can’t be repaired you may need to leave the caravan or trailer with the vehicle while it is being repaired. It may become necessary to bring the caravan or trailer back to the UK together with the vehicle, if the vehicle cannot be repaired abroad by the planned return date.
Reimbursement
You may need to pay for some services and claim this back from us.
To do so please visit www.rac.co.uk/reimbursementclaimform (for breakdowns in the UK), or www.rac.co.uk/europeanclaimform (for breakdowns in Europe).
If you have any queries, please contact us on 0333 202 1877. Please send your completed form within 90 days of your breakdown with proof of payment (such as a receipt). We may ask for original documents. Any costs not arranged through us or agreed by us will not be reimbursed.

2. If you aren’t eligible for a hire car we arrange, or we can’t provide a suitable car for you to continue your journey, you can hire one yourself. This may be because you don’t meet the hire car company’s terms (e.g., because you have certain endorsements on your licence, or you are under 21). If you do wish to hire a car yourself, you must agree this with us first and we will reimburse you up to £35 per day.

This service is discretionary, and we will decide whether or not to provide this service. We will require written confirmation from the treating hospital or medical expert that you are unable to drive.
Additional services
In the UK
If your vehicle cannot be driven for any reason other than a breakdown or road traffic collision, for example if you have a driver-induced fault we will send help to the vehicle. If we cannot get you going again, we will recover the vehicle and passengers up to 10 miles.
If you have run out of fuel, we will attend and if possible provide you with enough fuel to get to the nearest filling station, but you will have to pay for the fuel. If that is not possible, we will tow you up to 10 miles.
In the event that an electric vehicle runs out of charge, we will either send a mobile electric charging vehicle (where available) to provide enough charge to get you to the nearest charge point, or we will recover the vehicle and passengers to the nearest charge point.
Any specialist resource required by us to repair or arrange the recovery of the vehicle will be chargeable.
In Europe
If your vehicle cannot be driven due to the following reasons, we will attend and recover your vehicle and passengers to a local garage:
- A road traffic collision;
- If you have put the wrong fuel in the vehicle;
- If your vehicle has run out of fuel (or charge in an electric vehicle); or
- If your vehicle has a flat tyre.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle, we will get them out, if possible, but we are not liable if damage is caused to the vehicle in doing so.
In the UK and Europe
We can also provide additional services that are not included in your policy, but we will charge you for these, for example to:
- Purchase the parts you need to get on your way;
- Pay for specialist resource to complete the repairs;
- Extend the hire time for a replacement car; or
- Arrange a second or extended recovery.
We will agree these costs up front and will need full payment before we can help. You will be responsible for any additional charges. This is why we request proof of identity at the breakdown.
General conditions
These apply to all sections of this policy. If you do not meet them, we can refuse cover, cancel your policy, or both.
- You must request services directly from us, as we will only provide cover if we make arrangements to help you.
- Where the breakdown is caused by a component failure this must stop the vehicle working. Faulty air-conditioning or the illumination of a warning light for example would not, on its own, be a breakdown.
- We will not cover any claim where the vehicle is already at a garage or other place of repair.
- Where we deem, acting reasonably, that you requested service to avoid the cost of repairing the vehicle, or to correct an attempted repair by someone else, we will not provide cover.
- You (and a driver if you were not driving) must be with the vehicle at the time of the breakdown and when we attend, if there is not, we will not be able to provide service.
- We are not liable for any loss or damage to the contents of the vehicle.
- Where we recover passengers under the age of 16, they must be accompanied by an adult.
- We will not allow animals in our vehicles, except assistance dogs. Any animals can remain in your vehicle at your own risk. We will not be liable for any injury to animals, or damage caused by them. We will not transport any livestock. We will not be responsible for any costs relating to animals.
- The vehicle must not carry more passengers than the number stated in the vehicle’s registration document. Each passenger must have a separate fixed seat fitted to the manufacturer’s specification and any child must occupy a properly fitted child seat where required.
- Where we provide a repair to your vehicle, whilst we are responsible for that repair, this does not mean that we are confirming the legal and roadworthy condition of the vehicle. This remains your responsibility.
- We will not be responsible for any losses that you incur following a breakdown that are not expressly covered by this policy. For example, we will not pay for any loss of earnings or missed appointments.
- We do not guarantee that recovery to any garage will be during opening hours, or that repairs can start immediately. Whilst we will try to check that the garage will undertake the type of repairs required, we cannot guarantee this. We will not take responsibility for repairs carried out at any garage, whether an approved garage or not, and the contract for such repairs will be between you and the garage/repairer.
- We will not provide service under this policy if we are prevented from doing so in circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, but not limited to, an act of terrorism, a pandemic or epidemic, extreme weather, the activities of civil or government authorities, industrial disputes, riots, war, or civil unrest. In these circumstances, we will take steps to prevent or minimise the effects on our services.
- The cost of the following is not covered by this policy:
- specialist resource;
- tolls, ferries, congestion or low emission zone charges for your vehicle and our vehicle;
- any damage to glass even if the damage means you cannot legally or safely drive. We will arrange transport to a local garage so you can arrange to get your vehicle fixed but you will have to pay for this;
- spare tyres and wheels and repairing or sourcing them; or
- recovery by someone other than RAC. If the emergency services, local authority, or any government agency are handling the breakdown, we will only attend and provide recovery once instructed to do so by them.
- In handling any claim there may be more than one option available to you under this policy. We will decide which is the most appropriate option based on our expertise in breakdown situations. In doing so we will act in consultation with you, and act reasonably at all times.
- When we attend a breakdown, we may ask you to review a document or electronic form that records the condition of your vehicle. Please make sure this is accurate as we are not responsible for any errors or omissions.
- Your vehicle must be privately owned or leased and used only for private use, including use for social, domestic and pleasure purposes and commuting to and from a permanent place of work.
- This policy does not cover:
- routine servicing, maintenance, or assembly of your vehicle;
- caravan or trailers, except as described under Included benefits;
- your vehicle if it is used for business, including for example, company vehicles, vehicles that are sign–written, used for hire and reward or parcel delivery, even if you are using it for personal use at the time of breakdown;
- breakdowns that occur during activities or events that are not subject to the normal rules of the road, for example, breakdowns on a track day. We will not attend breakdowns on racetracks or where you have been immediately recovered from a racetrack;
- breakdowns that occur, or recovery of the vehicle to a destination that is, off the public highway to which you or we have no legal access;
- your vehicle if it is not legally taxed, insured and holding a valid MOT which is required by law or is not being used in line with the manufacturer’s guidelines;
- vehicles that are not in a roadworthy condition. If we consider, acting reasonably, that the vehicle is not in a legal or roadworthy condition, we can refuse to provide service. If you can demonstrate that the vehicle is roadworthy, we will provide service;
- any claim that is or may be affected by the influence of alcohol or drugs;
- any breakdown that is caused by or as a result of vehicle theft or fire; or
- any claim under this policy where the breakdown was first reported to us under a different membership; or
- vehicle storage charges. If your vehicle is being stored, you will be contacted at your last known address with details of how to arrange collection and any fees which may be payable. In extreme instances, where the vehicle has not been collected and fees not paid, the vehicle may be disposed of and any outstanding fees will be deducted. You will be notified, in accordance with legislation, prior to this happening.
- If you are asked to review and approve a document (either paper or electronic) recording the condition of your vehicle and our findings at the roadside, it is your responsibility to ensure that the record is accurate and complete. We will not be responsible for any errors or omissions.
Conditions specific to travel in Europe
- You must be a permanent resident in the UK during the period of cover.
- Claims made more than 24 hours after the breakdown may be declined in part or completely.
- This policy does not cover:
- Vehicle storage charges, other than under Getting your vehicle home;
- The hire of minibuses, motorhomes, motorcycles, caravans, trailers, or vans;
- Overloading of a vehicle under the laws in any country in which the vehicle is travelling.
- You must comply with, and make sure the vehicle complies with all relevant laws of the countries you visit during a journey.
- How we calculate the exchange rate:
- Any costs incurred directly by us in a currency other than GBP will be converted to GBP at the exchange rate used by us at the time;
- Costs incurred by you in a currency other than GBP which are recoverable from us will be converted to GBP either:
- At the exchange rate used by our credit or debit card provider; or
- At the exchange rate used by us when we receive your claim form if you paid in cash.
- If your vehicle needs to be repaired following a breakdown, you must not delay or refuse repairs whilst you are in Europe. If you do, and in our reasonable opinion that would lead to additional costs being incurred, we reserve the right to refuse your claim under D3 (Onward Travel in Europe) or D4 (Getting your vehicle home).
- Where we arrange a hire car, taxi, hotel, or similar benefit under this policy, we will always try to find a suitable option that is available at the time, however:
- we are not responsible for the quality or service of each individual hotel, train or taxi booked; and
- for hire cars, whilst we use reputable companies, we are unable to and cannot be responsible for checking the condition of each vehicle or the quality of service provided by each company.
- If the breakdown is caused by flooding brought about by adverse weather, we will only arrange for the vehicle to be taken to a local repairer. All further service will be an additional cost paid by you, or must be referred to your vehicle’s motor insurer

1.2 The Scheme applies to participating airport lounges, restaurants, spas and nail bars and access to the benefits and facilities is at all times subject to availability. We reserve the right to include and withdraw airport lounges, restaurants, spas and nail bars from the Scheme entirely at Our discretion and without notice. We cannot accept any liability in the event that an airport lounge, restaurant, spa or nail bar is full or already reserved/allocated and can’t provide You with access unless You have pre-booked.
1.3 To gain access to participating Airport Services available under the Scheme, You must show Your passport and/or boarding pass with Your valid membership card. To redeem discounts, vouchers and offers, You will need to show the code generated by the App or Website (QR Code)

Please check the App, Website or call Us, prior to travelling, on 0333 220 5599* for information on the individual lounges You plan to use, to determine their policy on guests and children.
1.5 At busy times airport lounges may be at their full capacity and unable to accept more guests. Some lounges also reserve and/or pre-allocate a limited amount of space for pre-booked entry, this means that unless You have pre-booked the lounge for £5 per person, per visit, and arrive at the correct time, You may be refused access on the basis of a lack of capacity even if the lounge doesn’t look full. Neither We, nor DragonPass have any control over the decision of individual airport lounges whether to admit any individual. Please refer to section 4 (Lounge Access & Pre-Booking), paragraph 4.8, for more information regarding admission for pre-bookings.
1.6 If You or any member of Your party has any medical conditions or disability which may affect Your access to an airport lounge, We recommend that You check with the individual lounge, prior to travelling, to see whether they can facilitate any special requirements You may have. We regret that We can’t accept liability in the event an airport lounge is unable to facilitate special requirements.

We recommend that You contact the individual lounge in advance of Your travel if You or any member of Your party has any dietary requirements.
4.3 It’s Your responsibility to ensure You and Your guests arrive at the departure gate on time and board Your flight in good time. There is no obligation on the lounges to provide flight information or announcements.

4.6 If You wish to pre-book Your Lounge access, You must do so at least 72 hours before You intend to visit. Some lounges will allow You to book with 48 hours’ notice, so it is important to check the text underneath the “Date & Time” section to see whether it is possible first. To pre-book just visit Our Website or App, follow the steps online and the selected number of passes and the fees will be removed from Your account at the time of making the booking.
4.7 If You need to amend Your pre-booking details, You must give at least 72 hours’ notice. However, as with making a pre-booking, in 4.6, some lounges will allow you to amend with at least 48 hours’ notice, so it is important to check the text under “Important Notes” on Your booking confirmation email or within the ‘Bookings’ section of App or Website. In order to amend your booking You must contact Our Customer Service Team via email at support@dragonpasspremierplus.com or, on 0333 220 5599* and they’ll be able to do this once for You.

As long as You cancel any pre-bookings no later than 48 hours before the intend visit time. Once cancelled, Your Free Pass(es) or any purchased additional Pass(es) will be credited back to Your account and the booking fee will be refunded into the account where payment was taken. Please ensure You read the text under “Important Notes” on Your booking confirmation email or within the ‘Bookings’ section of App or Website to ensure that cancellations are possible for the lounge You have pre-booked. For cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice, clause 4.10 below will apply.
4.9 There may be times where a lounge may need to cancel Your booking for unforeseen circumstances. For example, closures for refurbishments. In this event and once cancelled, Your Free Pass(es) or any purchased Additional Pass(es) will be credited back to Your account, and the booking fee will be refunded into the account where payment was taken. We will make every effort to notify You as far in advance as possible of your booking but cannot guarantee when this would be, due to information being provided by Third-Party Organisations under the Scheme. Neither We, nor DragonPass, accept liability and would not provide further compensation in this circumstance.
4.10 When arriving at the airport lounge it’s important that You arrive on time; if You arrive later than the pre-booked time then it will be at the discretion of the lounge as to whether they can still allow You access and for how long.
4.11 If You don’t attend the lounge, are refused access to the lounge because You have arrived later than Your pre-booked time or You cancel Your pre-booking less than 72 hours (48 hours for some lounges) in advance of the visit, You will not receive a refund of Your pre-booking fee and You’ll be deemed to have used Your Free Pass(es). Where You’ve purchased Additional Passes over and above Your annual allowance and pre-booked that visit, neither Your Additional Passes fee nor Your pre-booking fee will be refunded.
4.12 Facilities and amenities in lounges will vary, and at certain times may be limited.

7 Restaurant Vouchers
7.1 Members can download restaurant vouchers via the App or the Website. These vouchers will use up 1 Pass (Free or Additional) per redemption and can be redeemed against food and beverages in participating airport restaurants. The redemption value applicable (£15 or $20 USD) and any restrictions on how the redemption value may be applied can be found under the “Restaurant Details” section on the App and the Website.

7.3 Each restaurant voucher will deduct one of Your Passes from Your annual membership allowance once redeemed.
7.4 Restaurant vouchers can only be used by a member and are non-transferable and non-refundable. Only one voucher can be used per transaction/bill. For example, if you have a joint account or are travelling with another member on the scheme, then both members can redeem a voucher. However, this would need to be done against two separate bills and have their respective voucher applied to their own bill.
7.5 Restaurant vouchers have a usage limit to one voucher every 5 hours regardless of the restaurant type.
7.6 Should the purchase total come to less than the value of the redemption voucher then no change will be given. Should the total be more than the voucher value then the member will be liable to pay the difference. Vouchers have no equivalent cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash.
7.7 The voucher cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers, entitlements, discounts, vouchers or promotions. Redemption of the voucher is subject to availability and does not guarantee access, table reservations or bookings at a participating restaurant.

Terms and Conditions
The concierge service is owned and operated by Ten Lifestyle Management Limited (“Ten”, “us”, “our”). Ten is a lifestyle concierge company registered in England and Wales (CRN: 4688658) whose registered address is 2nd Floor, Fitzroy House, 355 Euston Road, London NW1 3AL.
Ten is owned by Ten Lifestyle Group Plc, a publicly listed company on the London Stock Exchange ('TENG').
Ten provides concierge services (the “Concierge Service”) to eligible individuals on behalf of its client Barclays (the “Service Provider”), collectively and individually known as “Members” or “you”.
The Concierge Service is provided primarily through personalised advice and bookings received via phone or email and procuring goods and services provided by third party suppliers (“Suppliers”).
The following terms and conditions (the “Terms”) govern your use of our website(s) (the “Site”) and our provision of Concierge Services to Members.
1. Our Contract
1.1 Please read these Terms carefully before using the Site or the Concierge Service. For the purposes of these Terms:
a) individuals eligible to receive the Concierge Service as per instruction from the Service Provider are known as the “Lead User”;
b) each individual that the Lead User grants permission to use the service on their behalf is an “Authorised User” (the Service Provider will determine the limit on the number of Authorised Users per Lead User);
c) Lead Users and Authorised Users are each known as “Members”;
d) all Members must be at least 18 years of age and possess the legal authority to enter into this agreement;
e) all information provided by Members to us, the Service Provider or the Suppliers should be true and accurate;
f) when visiting or using the Site or the Concierge Service and/or any content or materials available from us, you agree to be bound by these Terms which shall form a legally binding agreement between you and us.
g) You’ve also read, understood and accepted the Privacy Statement; and
h) we reserve the right to update or change these Terms from time to time at our discretion with 30 days notice, and your continued use of the Site or the Concierge Service will be subject to the then current version of these Terms. We recommend that you read the current version of these Terms each time before you use the Concierge Service.
2. Our Services
2.1 The Concierge Service we provide by phone and email includes the ability to:
a) place a new request with the Concierge Service;
b) book services and order goods with Suppliers (“Services”); and
c) request to be updated on specific information.
2.2 The Concierge Service we provide via the Site also includes:
a) access to articles and other content we publish on our Site;
b) the ability to search for Suppliers and where applicable book services and order goods with said Suppliers (also “Services”); and
c) such other services as we elect to provide from the Site from time to time.
2.3 If you use one of the phone numbers provided to you or published on a Site to call and speak to one of our representative’s (a “Lifestyle Manager”), please note that telephone calls to us will be monitored for training and quality purposes.
2.4 We reserve the right at any time to modify the Concierge Service we provide to you and to add or remove content, or we can close your Pack for the reasons set out in the Barclays Pack terms and conditions.
2.5 Unless otherwise stated in writing by us and with the exception of some travel bookings (see section 6 and the Travel Policy of these Terms), when you make a request for goods or services from a Supplier through the Concierge Service you’ll enter into a contract directly with the Supplier for the provision of the goods or services and you’ll be bound by the Supplier’s terms and conditions (including but not limited to their cancellation and/or return terms). In these circumstances, it is very important for you to review any applicable terms and conditions before you complete the transaction.
2.6 Where there’s specific terms and conditions between us and you for types of Services provided via the Site or by email or phone, these are outlined below.
3. Dining
3.1 Ten works with third party restaurant and dining Suppliers to offer exclusive and non-exclusive bookings, special benefits and offers to Members as part of the Concierge Service.
3.2 You accept that special benefits and offers with Suppliers are subject to availability and may change from time to time and without notice. It’s important to note that not all of the Services made available or provided on the Site are available in all jurisdictions.
3.3 We reserve the right to deny restaurant reservation requests from you if you repeatedly fail to show up for bookings or violate any Supplier’s terms and conditions including their cancellation terms.
4. Tickets
4.1 Ten works with third party ticketing and event Suppliers to quote details of face value tickets, hospitality tickets and tickets from secondary market agents to Members as part of the Concierge Service.
4.2 All tickets are subject to availability.
4.3 If you decide to order tickets from a Supplier quoted by us, you authorise us to arrange for payment of tickets on your behalf. Once you’ve given us authorisation to purchase tickets with the Supplier on your behalf, you’ll be liable to pay the full price for the tickets. Once the purchase is confirmed, no refunds or exchanges will be available, unless stated otherwise in the Supplier terms and conditions.
4.4 You’ll enter into a contract for the sale and/or supply of the tickets with the relevant Supplier. Ten or the Service Provider won’t be party to this contract.
4.5 You should ensure that you check both the booking confirmation and the tickets you receive and notify us immediately if any details are incorrect or there are any discrepancies. Where an error has been made by us, we’ll endeavour to resolve the error with the appropriate level of cost and/or compensation. In all other cases, we’ll endeavour to assist you with correcting the error without incurring any financial liability.
4.6 We’ll endeavour to advise you if any tickets have a restricted view prior to your purchase. Tickets will be considered restricted view only if specified by the Supplier, box office, venue and/or on the physical tickets.
4.7 The Supplier, together with us, will select the method and company used for ticket delivery. Often tickets will be sent via secure post or courier which will require a signature upon delivery. When delivery is attempted, if you’re unavailable you’ll need to collect from the local sorting office or, where appropriate, organise a re-delivery directly with the courier company. We’ll offer support with any deliveries but won’t be held liable for errors not caused by us.
4.8 Tickets are usually delivered between 5 to 7 days before the date of the event, with the exception of theatre tickets, which are sent after the booking is made. The date upon which tickets are released is controlled by the promoters of the event (and not us), who often delay delivery in order to reduce both fraudulent activity and the risk of tickets being misplaced.
4.9 When tickets are purchased through secondary ticket agents, the Supplier will make every effort to deliver them several days before the event. However, they reserve the right to deliver tickets up to 24 hours in advance and on rare occasions may arrange for you to meet a representative at the venue.
4.10 It’s your responsibility to advise us of any change of address which may affect your booking, or if you plan to be away in the days leading up to the event.
4.11 If tickets are misplaced and originally purchased through a face value box office, tickets can often be duplicated. It’s unlikely that tickets will be re-issued prior to the event date and will therefore need to be collected from the box office. In order to collect tickets in this way, the cardholder and the card that was used to purchase the tickets need to be present. Letters of authorisation are subject to the venue box office’s discretion and in some instances, may not be accepted.
4.12 If tickets purchased through secondary ticket agents are misplaced, it’s extremely difficult to arrange duplicates or box office collection, since they usually need to be collected by the individual who originally purchased the tickets. If this occurs, we’ll endeavour to arrange for duplicates or collection, but if we’re unable to do so we can’t provide a refund.
4.13 If you find you’re unable to attend an event and would like advice on re-selling your tickets, please contact us for further information.
4.14 While we’ll endeavour to update you if we become aware of any changes made to the date or time of your event, we can’t take responsibility to inform you if an event is cancelled or to provide details if it is rearranged by the event promoter. Where tickets are purchased through the secondary market, tickets will usually be valid for the rescheduled date. If you’re not able to make the new date, refunds are at the relevant Supplier’s discretion. We’re not responsible for any additional financial outlay, such as for accommodation or transport, that occurs as a result of a cancelled or rescheduled date.
4.15 For tickets purchased direct through the box office, if the event is cancelled, you’ll receive a full refund direct from the box office. If the event is postponed, refunds will not be given until a new date has been rescheduled. If you can’t attend the new date, then you’re normally entitled to a full refund.
4.16 Please ensure you check your debit or credit card statement to confirm that your card has been charged for the amount of your tickets within 3 to 5 days of booking. If this isn’t the case then please call your Lifestyle Manager.
4.17 In the unusual event that a Supplier (box office or secondary market ticket supplier) goes insolvent, bankrupt or doesn’t deliver the tickets, we can’t accept liability for the loss of tickets. The relevant terms and conditions between you and the Supplier will apply. We’ll offer assistance and act on behalf of the Member to endeavour to remedy the situation. As a minimum, this will include:
a) advising the Member of the chargeback process, if they’ve paid by debit or credit card, whereby Visa / MasterCard / Amex go to the vendor to try to re-coup the money. Note there’s a time limit within which this chargeback process is applicable; and / or
b) if the Member chooses to purchase new tickets, sourcing alternative tickets to match the original order as closely as possible in terms of location, price and date.
5. Events and Benefits
5.1 Ten works with Suppliers to share details of events and/or benefits to Members as part of the Concierge Service.
5.2 Benefits are subject to availability.
5.3 Benefits may be withdrawn at any time and without prior notice.
6. Travel
6.1 We may engage certain local travel agencies to act solely in the capacity of agent for Suppliers of air, hotel, car and other travel-related products and services ("Travel Suppliers") to provide Members with the ability to purchase airline tickets, hotel accommodation, car rentals and other travel-related products and services (“Travel Services”) in accordance with the Travel Policy to these Terms, which includes our cancellation policy.
7. Fair Usage Policy
7.1 You must make sure that any use of the Concierge Service complies with these Terms.
7.2 There’s no specified limit on the usage of our Concierge Service. However, if we feel that your activities are so excessive that other members are detrimentally affected, we may give you a written notice (by email or otherwise) or limit the number of requests you can submit in a given time period. In extreme circumstances, if the levels of activity don’t promptly decrease after the warning, we may terminate or suspend your account after prior consultation with the Service Provider.
7.3 If you breach these Terms, we may: (a) give you a notice to stop or moderate the unacceptable use(s); or (b) terminate or suspend your Concierge Service, with or without notice as we consider appropriate, under the Terms.
7.4 You are responsible for all use of the Concierge Service through your pack and for any breach of these Terms whether an unacceptable use occurs or is attempted, whether you knew or should’ve known about it, whether or not you carried out or attempted the unacceptable use alone, contributed to or acted with others or allowed any unacceptable use to occur by omission.
8. Complaints
8.1 Please contact us immediately should you be dissatisfied with any aspect of the Concierge Service you receive and we’ll use reasonable endeavours to look into the issue within two working days of receipt of your notification and to respond to you as soon as reasonably practicable.
8.2 Ten or the Service Provider aren’t responsible for the failure of any Supplier to provide any Services or the negligence of the Supplier providing them. However, we’ll endeavour to assist you in the resolution of any such issue.

Taxability and the appropriate tax rate and the type of applicable taxes vary greatly by location.
2.21 PAYMENT: Full payment with a payment card may be required to make a reservation. Should an error occur in processing your payment card for applicable charges, Ten reserves the right to resubmit the charge to your payment card company. Ten also reserves the right to re-invoice your reservation should an error be made in computing your holiday price. Rates are subject to change, including, but not limited to, increases in or establishments of surcharges, applicable taxes, government fees, and airfare and hotel prices.

You’ll be charged in the currency you elected at time of check out so please be sure to check your elected currency prior to completing your transaction.
2.23 HOTEL TAXES AND SERVICE FEES: Ten markets hotels under a ‘prepaid/merchant’ model which means Ten or other local travel agencies procured through Ten, collect the designated amount from you in advance and manage the payments to the hotel on your behalf. In connection with facilitating your hotel arrangement, the amount you’re charged may not include all taxes and service fees. This amount includes an estimate to recover the amount we pay to the hotel related to your reservation for taxes owed by the hotel including, without limitation, sales and use tax, occupancy tax, room tax, excise tax, value added tax, goods and services tax, and/or other similar taxes. The amount paid to the hotel in connection with your reservation for taxes may vary from the amount we estimate and include in the amount charged to you. The amount paid to the hotel at the time of booking doesn’t include any extra person charges, incidentals, gratuities, or other charges incurred during your stay.
