Your first deposit date is the day you made your very first payment toward your trip—whether it was booking a flight, reserving a hotel, or paying for a tour. This date is important because it often determines your eligibility for certain time-sensitive benefits, like Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) or Pre-Existing Condition waivers.
Even if the payment was small or just a deposit, it still counts as your first trip-related expense. If you’re unsure, check your email confirmations or bank statements to find the earliest transaction tied to your travel plans.
Accurately entering this date helps ensure you get access to the full range of coverage options available to you.
