St.George offers complimentary insurance on its platinum and signature credit cards, with policies that cover domestic and international trips, as well as cover for some of the things you buy with your card. The actual policies are underwritten by Allianz Australia Insurance Limited (Allianz).
Just like any insurance policy, there are conditions you need to meet to get cover and successfully make a claim. That's why it's always best to read the policy document. But we know reading terms and conditions can be hard, so we have pulled out the key details to give you a better picture of St.George’s complimentary credit card insurance.

Which St.George credit cards have complimentary travel insurance?
Card
International travel insurance for up to 6 months (Level 1 cards)
International travel insurance for up to 3 months (Level 2 cards)
As you can see, St.George offers complimentary international travel insurance for 4 cards but it separates them into Level 1 and Level 2 categories. The key difference between these levels is the length of cover you get for international travel insurance, as we’ve shown in the table.

What’s covered by St.George complimentary international travel insurance?
The cover you get is broken down into “benefits” based on what you can and can’t claim. It includes cover for medical and dental emergencies, cancellation and luggage, with selected COVID-19 cover from 30 June 2022. Some claims also have an excess you need to pay before you’ll get any money back (if your claim is approved).
To help you understand the cover available, we’ve put the key options for different types of claims and situations into a table. But remember: you should always read the insurance policy booklet for complete details of the cover.
Note: St.George has split its complimentary international insurance into 2 levels for different cards. With a Level 1 card, you’ll get this cover for up to 6 consecutive months of overseas travel and with a Level 2 card you’ll get cover for trips of up to 3 consecutive months. Remember to check your card level before booking a trip or making a claim – we’ve listed the levels for different cards in this guide. These details are also in the insurance policy booklet.

St.George complimentary international travel insurance and COVID-19
From 30 June 2022, St.George complimentary international travel insurance has select cover for COVID-19 and other known pandemics and epidemics. This includes for:
Overseas emergency assistance
Overseas emergency medical
Medical evacuation and repatriation
Cancellation
Additional expenses
To make a claim, you need to be positively diagnosed with COVID-19 (or another pandemic/epidemic disease) and meet all the other requirements for a claim. It also applies if a travel companion is positively diagnosed. But it won’t apply if you’re travelling against government advice or if the mass media have published details of advice or warnings against travel.
As there are specific conditions to meet for this type of cover, make sure you read the amended policy booklet or call Allianz on 1800 091 790 before you travel.
What’s not covered?
Every insurance policy has details of when you will and won’t get cover. These details can be very specific, which is why it is important to always check your insurance policy documents.
To give you an idea, here are some of the key things you won’t be covered for with St.George credit card complimentary international travel insurance:
Issues that come up because of alcohol or non-prescription drugs
Travel that’s for the purpose of medical treatment
If you’re a crew member or pilot of any of the transport
If you’re over 81 or anyone relating to a claim is over 81
Changes to your plans due to government restrictions
If you or your partner gives birth during the trip, or there are complications arising after week 26 of the pregnancy
Dangerous activities including rock climbing (with equipment), white water rafting, bungy jumping, off-piste snowboarding or skiing, and quad or motorbike riding on a vehicle that has an engine capacity of 200cc or more
Want cover for a skiing trip, bungy jumping or other overseas adventures? Check out adventure sport travel insurance costs and conditions.
What do I need to do to use St.George’s credit card international travel insurance?
At the moment, countries and regions around the world all have their own restrictions and guidelines around the coronavirus pandemic. These can change, so it’s worth checking where you can travel before booking anything.
Then, to get international travel insurance cover through your St.George credit card, you’ll need to meet the following requirements:
Travel bookings. You need to use your St.George credit card to pay for at least $500 of your travel expenses before the start of the trip. An easy way to do this is to use your card to pay for your overseas flights or accommodation.
Australian residency. You must live in Australia, and start and end your trip in Australia.
Age. You’ll be covered if you’re under 81 years of age. If you’re over 81 and want overseas travel insurance, there are some policies you can buy that give you cover up to the age of 100.
Does St.George credit card travel insurance cover family members?
Yes, if you meet the eligibility requirements for cover on an upcoming trip, your spouse and dependants (i.e. your children) can get cover under this policy when they’re travelling with you for at least half of your trip and meet the following requirements:
They need to live in Australia, and start and end their journey in Australia
They need to have a return travel booking before they leave
At least $500 of their travel costs need to be paid for with your St.George credit card before the start of the trip
They need to be under 81 years of age at the time they become eligible for the insurance
They also need to meet the same age requirements and other conditions of the insurance policy.
Pre-existing medical conditions
This complimentary international travel insurance only covers a few pre-existing medical conditions, with very specific circumstances.
Here, we’ve summarised the key details for conditions that are covered. If you have any pre-existing conditions, you should also look at the insurance document for full details or call Allianz on 1800 091 710.
Pre-existing medical condition
Conditions for cover
Acne
If you have not needed treatment by a medical adviser in the last 3 months.
Allergies
If you have not needed treatment by a medical adviser in the last 9 months and you don’t have asthma or any other known respiratory condition.
Asthma
If you have not needed treatment for it from a medical adviser in the past 12 months.
Cataracts and glaucoma
If you have no ongoing complications, have not had an operation for it in the last 2 months and are not on a waiting list for an operation.
Coeliac disease
If your condition has not required treatment by a medical adviser in the last 6 months.
Diabetes/glucose intolerance
If you were diagnosed more than 12 months ago and have not had any complications in the last 12 months.
You also need to have a blood sugar level reading between between 4 and 12 or a HbA1c score of 9% or less.
You must also not currently be undergoing treatment for kidney, eye or nerve complications.
Ear grommets
If you have no current infection.
Epilepsy
If there are no underlying medical conditions (e.g. previous head trauma, stroke) and you have not had a seizure that required treatment from a doctor or other medical adviser in the last 2 years.
Gastric reflux
If it does not relate to a gastric ulcer or other underlying diagnosis.
Gout
If it has remained stable for at least 9 months.
Hiatus hernia
If no surgery is planned.
Hip or knee replacement
If your surgery was performed more than 9 months ago and was within the last 10 years.
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
If you have no known heart conditions and your current blood pressure reading is lower than 165/95.
Pregnancy up to 26 weeks (including IVF)
Note: The insurance policy document has different details for people who are pregnant before they get cover and who become pregnant after they get cover. You’ll be eligible either way (up to 26 weeks), but make sure you read the relevant details.
If there are no existing complications related to the pregnancy.
🔥 Hot tip: The easiest way to find details in the insurance policy booklet is to open your digital copy and use the find tool (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to search for the terms (for example, “Pre-existing medical conditions”).
What if I don’t meet the requirements or have a different pre-existing condition?
In simple terms, you won’t get cover if you don’t meet the requirements for a pre-existing medical condition or if you have another pre-existing medical condition.
This means you won’t be able to make a related claim if you've previously seen a doctor or other qualified professional about a condition that ends up causing issues overseas. It's the same for any physical, medical, mental or dental condition that you’re aware of before you travel.
If you’re not sure whether your pre-existing medical condition will be covered, call Allianz on 1800 091 710 to check if you can get cover. You can also apply to get written confirmation from Allianz that a pre-existing medical condition is covered, although be aware that additional fees may apply.
Need cover for a pre-existing health condition? Check out travel insurance policies that offer cover for conditions including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and physical disabilities.
Travel insurance policies all have specific ways of looking at pre-existing medical conditions, so it’s really important you’re aware of the actual definition they use.
As well as the summary above, we have included the definition that’s in the current St.George card insurance policy document, effective from 1 March 2023 (page 18):
“A condition of which a reasonable person in the circumstances, should have been aware at the time eligibility for the cover available was met, including:
Any dental condition; or
Any physical condition; or
Pregnancy; or
Any lifelong illness; or
Any chronic illness; or
Any mental illness; or
Any current or previously treated cancer, or any condition which, in the last two (2) years:
Was treated by surgery (including day surgery); or
Required regular medication; or
Required on-going treatment; or
Was referred to a specialist medical adviser; or
Had regular reviews or check-ups; or
Caused admission to hospital; or
Was treated at a hospital emergency department or out-patient clinic”
If you’re not sure whether a pre-existing medical condition will be covered, call Allianz on 1800 091 710 to check if you can use this insurance.
How to make a claim through your St.George credit card complimentary international travel insurance policy
Your first step should be to contact Allianz Global Assistance as soon as you think you might need to make a claim so that they can give you specific information.
You can do this by calling 1800 091 710 in Australia, or from overseas by calling the emergency assistance number: +61 7 3305 7468. You can also email cardclaims@allianz-assistance.com.au but may have to wait longer for a response. `

Fill in the details on the claim form and upload your supporting documents.
Use the “Save” button if you need to come back to the claim later.
Call Allianz on +61 7 3305 7468 when you’re overseas.
Tell them what’s happened and the type of claim or claims you want to make.
Follow their instructions to complete the claim.
You will hear back about your claim within 10 business days, according to the online claims website.
What to include in your claim
With insurance claims, it’s always good to include as much detail and supporting documentation as possible. It makes it easier for the insurer to look at the claim and your eligibility for a payout.
So when you're travelling overseas with this cover, try to get as much written or photo evidence as you can for any claim you need to make. This could include:
A referral or letter from a doctor or other professional you see in relation to a claim
Official medical reports
Police reports
Photos of damaged items
Emails or letters from airlines that relate to a claim
Receipts or other proof of purchase
When you fill in the online claim form, you’ll also be asked for some key personal details, including part of your St.George credit card number (to confirm you’re eligible for cover).
Use a travel wallet or online folder to keep all your important documents together. This could include your passport, itinerary, printed tickets, a copy of the St.George card insurance policy booklet – plus anything that could become supporting documentation for future claims.
Other types of St.George complimentary credit card travel insurance

Usually an insurance policy through your credit card covers you and your travelling spouse, but may not cover any dependants. It would be worth contacting them to see if there is an option to add your granddaughter.
Their terms and conditions don’t specify whether their cover provides coverage for a cruise. You can contact them for clarification on 1800 091 710.
Hi Daniela,
If you’re going on a cruise or tour that requires proof of insurance, you can check your eligibility and cover online at http://www.checkyourcover.com.au/stgeorge. I hope this helps.
Hi Nada,
Yes, the St.George Platinum Advantage Credit Card offers complimentary international travel insurance for up to 3 months as it’s listed as a Level 2 card on the St.George website. To get cover, you’ll need to use your St.George credit card to pay for at least $500 of travel before you leave, have a return booking Australia and live in Australia, and be under 81 years of age. This guide has an overview of the cover but it’s important to read the insurance policy document for full details. Or call the insurance provider, Allianz Global Assistance, on 1800 091 710. I hope that helps.
According to the current St.George Credit Cards Complimentary Insurance policy information booklet (pdf), you can’t extend this cover period. If you have questions about it, you can call Allianz on 1800 091 710.
Alternatively, you can compare other travel insurance policies on Finder to see if one fits with your travel plans. I hope that helps.
The current terms and conditions of the St George travel insurance dated Oct 2018 notes that not all cards have all the insurance cover and that each must be checked for each benefit. Overseas travel for instance does NOT include the Amplify Platinum. It was in the previous version dated 2015. The insurer says it does cover as a Level 2 card. St George says it is a Level 2 card in its card ads. But its policy doc does not include it. How to fix? I have contacted St George and Alliance to no effect.
Thanks for your message. Sorry to hear there is confusion on which terms and conditions to follow for the St. George complimentary insurance. I wish I could help you out however, while we review St. George in our pages, it’s helpful to know that we neither work with them or answer for their company. It would be best to contact the customer service support of Allianz directly for further assistance.
Hope this clarifies and we hope they find a quick resolution for you!

The current terms and conditions of the St George travel insurance dated Oct 2018 notes that not all cards have all the insurance cover and that each must be checked for each benefit. Overseas travel for instance does NOT include the Amplify Platinum. It was in the previous version dated 2015. The insurer says it does cover as a Level 2 card. St George says it is a Level 2 card in its card ads. But its policy doc does not include it. How to fix? I have contacted St George and Alliance to no effect.
Hi Ray,
Thanks for your message. Sorry to hear there is confusion on which terms and conditions to follow for the St. George complimentary insurance. I wish I could help you out however, while we review St. George in our pages, it’s helpful to know that we neither work with them or answer for their company. It would be best to contact the customer service support of Allianz directly for further assistance.
Hope this clarifies and we hope they find a quick resolution for you!
With care,
Nikki
