I have an ANZ platinum credit card which I will be using overseas in Japan and Bali and used to book flights and accommodation, do I travel insurance for me and my partner when we are abroad?
Hi Angelo,
To activate this cover, you must spend at least $250 on your prepaid travel costs (such as flights, accom or tours) before leaving Australia on your ANZ platinum card. If you have already purchased flights using the card, then you’ve met this condition already. There are other conditions too: you must be aged under 81, an Australian resident, your account must be current/not be in default and you have a return ticket, with a travel period of less than six months. Your spouse is also covered, as long as they travel with you for at least 50% of the trip.
The full terms and conditions, and information on what the insurance covers, is available here. Enjoy your trip!
Do you get the same travel insurance for domestic travel if you purchase at least $250 of you travel cost before you travel? And you have a return ticket?
It says this for international travel:
International travel insurance conditions:
if you pay for Prepayment of at least $250 of your travel costs before you leave Australia
Having a return overseas travel ticket to Australia before the start of your trip
Hi Suzanne,
The ANZ insurance booklet also mentions domestic travel like this:
As a cardholder with an ANZ Credit Card you are eligible for the
cover available if:
a] the entire cost of your return domestic flight ticket is charged to the account holder’s card account prior to commencing the journey; or
b] before commencing your journey, you spend at least $250 on your prepaid travel costs and you charge these costs (e.g. cost of your return domestic travel ticket; and/or airport/departure taxes; and/or your prepaid domestic accommodation/travel; and/or your other prepaid domestic itinerary items) to the accountholder’s card account and you have a return domestic flight ticket prior to commencing the journey.
does international travel insurance cover, cover cardholder and partner or just cardholder
Hi Jason,
The card’s cover will typically apply to a partner if they are travelling with you. Check the terms and conditions that apply to the specific card. For example, if you look at the terms and conditions for the ANZ Platinum and Black cards (page 15, Who is Eligible?) it mentions when cover applies to spouses and dependents.
If I have a relevant card is myself and spouse covered for insurance purposes on a cruise trip up the queensland coastline to port douglas and back including willis island ?
Hello Noel,
The PDS for ANZ’s complimentary card insurance defines overseas travel as being “outside of Australia and its territories, and includes when you are aboard a foreign registered cruise vessel in Australian territorial waters.” So it may be covered as an international trip even if you are still in Australian waters.
I suggest contacting ANZ directly to be 100% sure.
We have declared the same pre existing medical condition in previous applications for insurance. Do we need to complete this again at a $75 cost if none of the responses to any of the questions have changed and it has been approved for previous travel? Thanks
Hi Lesley,
Your best bet is to confirm this directly with ANZ insurance. You can reach them on 1300 135 271 Monday to Friday 8am to 7pm AEST, or Saturday 8am to 5pm AEST. Best of luck!
