We have tried to make a claim via QBE travel insurance provided on our ANZ credit card, ridiculous amounts of paperwork for one change due to Hurricane Matthew in November last year, we can not get any answers at all. They now require written confirmation from the hotel that we did not receive a refund from them. This sounds easy but we booked via a travel agent and booked a large chain hotel in America. We are not getting any response to emails or calls as they do not have specific bookings as they are the mother chain. is there a complaints line for QBE we can call because so far the policy is useless and the correspondence has gone on for 6 months with o solution in sight? we have documents from travel agents stating no refund given but that is not enough.
