Got this message from SPOT

Change to Search & Rescue (SAR) Member Benefits
Valued SPOT Customer,
We wanted to inform you of the upcoming changes to our search and rescue (SAR) Member Benefit offering and how these changes affect you.
After an extensive search, SPOT has chosen a new provider for its SAR Member Benefit coverage. This new coverage will increase security and medical benefits available to our customers. The new plan is called Global Overwatch & Rescue™ and will be offered to our customers worldwide. The new Global Overwatch & Rescue™ Plan, now offered to SPOT users, includes 24/7 multi-lingual crisis consultation and coordinated, in-country assistance, up to and including evacuations for medical mishaps, natural disasters, terrorism, pandemics like COVID-19, riots, strikes and civil commotion and much more.
As a SPOT customer, you can remain confident that your rescue benefit coverage will continue to cover unexpected costs associated with a rescue. We are also pleased to share that these improved benefits come with no increase to cost for our existing customers.
The new Global Overwatch & Rescue™ Plan will be in effect on September 1, 2021 and the transfer of your service from the current provider does not require any action on your part.
As an added benefit, the individual who has purchased the Global Overwatch & Rescue™ Plan will no longer need to pay for any out-of-pocket expenses, should they occur, as these costs will be covered for any qualifying event in a given year.
For complete details on the Global Overwatch & Rescue™ Plan, visit here.
For additional information, please consult our support section here.
Regards,
SPOT Marketing
