    Am I covered for snow sports or skiing whilst visiting New Zealand? should or can I take out an additional policy for that cover?
    Is one policy void if there is more than one policy in place?

      Hi Mich,

      Thanks for getting in touch!

      I’m afraid that the complimentary travel insurance of ANZ doesn’t cover snow sports or skiing. You can compare Ski travel insurance instead. You can take out an additional/premium cover for snow sports and it won’t void either policy. As a friendly reminder, carefully review the Product Disclosure Statement of the product before applying. You may also contact the insurance provider should you have any questions about their policy.

      Hope this helps!

      Best,
      Nikki

      Hi Narelle,

      Thanks for getting in touch with Finder. I hope all is well with you. 😃

      I’m afraid you won’t be covered by ANZ’s complimentary travel insurance, Narelle. One of their requirements is for you to valid return ticket to Australia. You may also review other requirements listed above to be sure.

      I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.

      Have a wonderful day!

    On 22nd Jeni responded to a question with, “They will also have to meet the eligibility criteria, including payments to your card for part of their travel bookings.” I have paid for my wife and children’s accommodation on my ANZ Black card. What do they need to do to be covered for complimentary travel insurance?

    Thank you for your assistance.

      Hi Rob,

      Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

      Aside from using your participating ANZ Black credit card to pay for some of your trip that is at least AUD$250, some of the eligibility requirements are:

      1. You should be an Australian citizen, resident, or the holder of a visa that allows you to live and work in Australia (including a 457).
      2. You must have spent at least 75% of your time in Australia in the 12 months before your trip. New residents and visa holders who have been in Australia for less than a year can get cover if they have been in Australia for at least 75% of the time since they gained their residency or visa.
      3. You must have a valid return ticket to Australia.
      4. You have to be 80 years of age or under on the day you activated the insurance policy and no pre-existing medical condition.

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!

      Cheers,
      Jeni

      Hi Anh,

      Thanks for getting in touch with Finder. I hope all is well with you. 😃

      If you believe you qualified for the complimentary insurance and have met the eligibility requirement, the cover will automatically activate before your trip. However, if you want to confirm or you have questions about the requirements, you may call Allianz on 1300 135 271. You can also go to ANZ’s website and use their eligibility tool to see if you’re covered.

      I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.

      Have a wonderful day!

      Hi Brigitte,

      Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

      The ANZ credit card complimentary travel insurance 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.

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!
