If I book overseas flights using my platinum card and decide not to go for non-medical reasons, is a refund available?

Hello Mark,
Thank you for your comment.
As per checking, the insurance company will pay higher non-refundable cancellation fees or the additional rearrangement costs that have been incurred as a result of the trip cancellation. The reason for trip cancellation must be valid such as it’s due to any unforeseen or unforeseeable circumstances outside of your control.
You may read our guide about travel insurance cancellation. You may also contact Allianz, the insurer of ANZ, for details.
