## [Pet insurance: the exclusions matter more than the monthly price](https://nosecrets.app/markdown/en/stories/pet-insurance-exclusions-waiting-period)

A low premium can cover a very different set of events. Compare accident, illness and wellness benefits separately.

Scope: United States · pet-insurance consumer guidance; policies vary by state

## [An unexpected parcel can be a fake-review or QR-phishing trap](https://nosecrets.app/markdown/en/stories/unexpected-parcel-brushing-qr-code)

A delivered parcel can help manufacture a buyer review. A QR code asking you to identify the sender may lead to a fake site.

Scope: United States · unsolicited parcels and QR phishing warnings

Where the flight departs, who operates it and why it was delayed all affect the answer.

## [A cancelled US flight: check the refund before taking a voucher](https://nosecrets.app/markdown/en/stories/us-flight-refund-before-accepting-voucher)

An airline’s alternative offer is not the only option. Choosing to travel or accept a credit changes the refund question.

Scope: Flights to, from or within the United States
