With complimentary international travel insurance and no foreign transaction fees, the ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures credit card is designed to be your travel companion. You will earn uncapped ANZ Reward Points when you use the card to make eligible purchases. If you prefer frequent flyer points, you can exchange 2 Reward Points to get 1 Velocity Point. Other options include Air New Zealand Airpoints Dollars, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer miles and Asia Miles.

    I’m just wondering with the ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures card, is the free domestic flight per year based from Jan-Dec, or do you get a free flight after the anniversary of your credit card start date?

      Hi Meghen,

      Thank you for contacting Finder.

      The Complimentary Domestic Flight can be redeemed each year until you cancel your card. The year will begin on the day that your account was open and ends 365 days later. Remember that if were not able to claim your return domestic flight for the year, it will not be carried over for the next year.

      Please do not hesitate to reach out again if you have additional enquiries.

      Cheers,
      Ash

    I am an ANZ Travel Adventures cardholder. I would like to avail of the complimentary annual domestic flight. I’ve had the card for more than a year and in good credit standing. Is the 60 days prior to a return departure domestic travel advance booking a strict rule? This is not practical as these days, people usually book for travel on a short notice. Please advise.

      Hi Elena,

      Thanks for getting in touch!

      Upon checking the terms and conditions of this card, only international travel insurance covers family members (each of the spouse and/or dependants) They must also be travelling with the cardholder for at least fifty per cent (50%) of the period of cover provided to the cardholder for the cardholder’s overseas journey and other rules set by this card.

      As a friendly reminder, check the eligibility requirements of the card before proceeding with your application. Also, read about its features and benefits and see how it fits your financial needs. Additionally, it’s helpful to review the PDS and Terms & Conditions of the card before fully committing to the card. You may also reach out to the bank if you have any clarifications.

      Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to us again for further assistance.

      Best,

    Hi,
    Are there restrictions as to what constitutes an “eligible purchase”? E.g what does and doesn’t count as an eligible purchase on this card?

      Hi Jack,

      Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

      For your reference on transactions that will not earn Rewards Points from this card or “eligible purchases”, “You will not earn Rewards Points on interest charges, premiums paid for ANZ Credit Card Insurance, government charges, bank fees, payments made to the Australian Taxation Office or other taxation payments or duties, card account adjustments resulting from disputed transactions or otherwise, balance transfers or cash advances (as defined in the ANZ Credit Cards Conditions of Use) or transactions which are identified to ANZ by the relevant merchant or any intermediary financial institution as falling into one of these categories. Bonus Reward Points will not be earned in the Bonus Points Mall on the purchase of gift cards, GST or delivery and shipping charges.”

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni

    I have spent more than $250 on my ANZ Travel Rewards card on an international car rental for an upcoming trip.

    My understanding is that this qualifies me for the OS Travel Insurance.

    Will I be covered for the excess payment should I have caused an accident on my trip

      Hi Nicholas,

      Thank you for contacting Finder.

      To know the coverage of the ANZ Complimentary Travel Insurance, you may read this page. Indeed, there is a coverage for “Rental excess cover” which will reimburse you for any excess that you will be paying in case that an accident will happen with your rental vehicle.

      I hope this helps.

      Please do not hesitate to reach out again if you have additional questions.

      Cheers,

      Hi Fay,

      Thanks for your question. The ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures card offers overseas travel and medical insurance when you charge at least $250 of your pre-booked trip to your account. Other terms and conditions are outlined in the ANZ and Allianz Product Disclosure Statement provided with this card.

      Under the ALLIANZ TERMS AND CONDITIONS, the age limit is eighty (80) years of age or under on the day you activated the insurance.

      Hope this was helpful. Don’t hesitate to message us back if you have more questions.

    Hi Barbara,

    Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

    I’m afraid you’re no longer eligible for the bonus points as it is not available in conjunction with other offers, packages or promotions, when transferring from an existing ANZ credit card or where you currently hold or have closed an ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures credit card within the previous 12 months.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you and have a wonderful day!

    Cheers,
    Jeni

    Looking for a credit card with travel insurance that would cover my husband who is 80. His birthday is in September and we will be traveling in November to the USA. He would be 80 when we activate the insurance, but 81 when we travel. Suggestions?

      Hi Pat,

      Thank you for reaching out.

      To view credit cards with complimentary travel insurance, you can refer to our article Credit card travel insurance options if you’re over 65. Look for the Compare credit card complimentary travel insurance age limits table to check on credit cards who offer such as well as the age conditions. Please see below to name a few that you can consider.

      * ANZ- To be eligible you must be 80 years of age or under on the day you activated cover
      * NAB – up to 90 years of age

      For the other cards where age limit and restriction are not indicated, you can contact the bank directly to check.

      Hope this helps! 😊

      Kind Regards,
      Mai
