Portable Units & Mini Fridge Approvals

Portable Units & Mini Fridge Approvals

When the following guidelines are met, Escalations Agents can offer the customer a Claim Credit or an Omni Gift Card for a portable air conditioner, portable heater or mini fridge:
  1. Emergency Temperatures (over 85 degrees or under 40 degrees)
  2. Medical Emergencies
  3. MUST be a covered failure
  4. Customer does not have the Emergency Lodging benefit or advises they cannot go to a hotel for medical reasons, pets in home, etc.
    1. If you are unsure if the reason for not using ELR makes them eligible, verify with a Team Lead or Supervisor before offering. 
Please use discretion and timing. If you assist a customer, they are already escalated and severity is flagged, however their repair/replacement is scheduled for just a few days away, the gift card should not be offered.
Alert
Be sure to verify we have not previously provided a Claim Credit or Omni Card to the customer.
