    1. I know they state that there is Insurance coverage. Do I have to activate anything before my holidays to be covered by Insurance
    2. As I understand the insurance is from QBE and we need to contact them directly for any claims
    3. Please provide the details on how to activate the insurance if I have procured the ticket by my card

      Hey Venkatesh,

      Thank you for reaching out to us.

      In the “What are the eligibility requirements?“, there are other conditions to meet aside from spending a total of $250 on the ticket with your card.

      Providing you meet these conditions, your cover will be automatically activated before your trip. If you have questions about these requirements or want to get a letter of eligibility for your insurance, you can call QBE directly. Their number is also found on this page.

      I hope this helps.

      Best,
      Maria

      Hi Pam,

      Thanks for your inquiry.

      The guide above provides you all the information you need to know about ANZs complimentary insurance. It says:

      ANZ credit cards come with three main types of complimentary travel insurance. These are broadly defined as follow:

      1. Overseas travel and medical insurance. A comprehensive international travel insurance policy that includes medical expenses, cancellations, damage or loss of luggage and other personal items, rental vehicle expenses and loss of life or income. Cover begins on the day you depart your home in Australia and ends on your return or after six months of travel, whichever happens first.

      2. Transport accident cover. Covers you against accidents or injuries that may be sustained when you are traveling on an authorized travel vehicle, including planes, trains, tourist buses and ferries. The insurance also covers any accidents or injuries that occur when you board or leave these carriers. The cover begins from the date your trip commences up until the date you return home.

      3. Rental excess cover. Reimburses you for the amount of any collision excess that you have to pay when you have hired an eligible vehicle in Australia. Cover begins and ends based on the dates and terms of your rental vehicle agreement.

      These three types of travel insurance also cover your spouse and any dependent children that are traveling with you throughout the journey. They will also have to meet the eligibility criteria, including payments to your card for part of their travel bookings.

      Regarding specific covers, you might want to speak with QBE directly. Contact QBE. Call the insurance company on 1300 135 271 in Australia or + 61 3 8523 2800 from overseas. You can also email QBE at travel.claims@qbe.com.

      Hope this information helped.

      Cheers,
      Arnold

      Hi Swee,

      Thank you for contacting finder. We are a comparison website and general information service, we’re more than happy to offer general advice.

      According to ANZ, only a participating card holder or the spouse or child of a participating card holder is covered.

      I hope this helps.

    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.

      Hi Michelle,

      Thanks for reaching out. Just to confirm though, finder.com.au is financial comparison website and we do not represent any company we feature on our pages.

      I’m sorry to hear about your situation. You can contact QBE’s Customer Care Unit directly, quoting your policy and/or claim number, to lodge a complain.

      I hope this has helped.

      Cheers,
      Liezl
