Good Response and Response Time
FanShield promised to have a decision about my request for a refund within three days and they responded in one.
The estimated day for my paper check delivery was for 03/17/2026 and it arrived one day early.
Using the website to send my request was a bit trial and error to navigate, but I was generally pleased with the response time of the service.

I received a medical injury that prevented me from participating in the Bakersfield Marathon. I provided the documentation, and they responded quickly to my claim, and my claim was quickly resolved.

Sick wife made it a NO GO.
My wife got sick and we realized we should not make the trip to Connecticut for the Big East WBB Tournament. Real Bummer!!! Found the form on-line for her doctor to complete, had a doctor visit, he signed the form, I sent that and the ticket receipt in and within a couple of hours, I had my refund. At least it says it is in the mail (I'm old-fashioned). As easy peasy as any refund process I have ever done. I will use FanShield again to cover unexpected situations.
