    Hi,

    Quick question regarding the extended warranty on offer with the ANZ Black card. So, if I buy an eligible item having 2 years Australian warranty, extended warranty would be another 2 years- so total of 4 years. My question is can I still claim extended warranty (3rd year and later) if I have surrendered the card since, even if I had originally purchased the item using the ANZ black card? Thanks.

      Hi Sid,

      Thanks for your question.

      Usually, the benefits of the credit cards will no longer take effect and cannot be used in the event that you close or cancel your account. So in case you will close your eligible ANZ card, the extended warranty insurance benefit attached to it can no longer be taken advantage of or claimed.

      Cheers,

    I am about to travel for a week to Hong Kong and have an ANZ Platinum card. Do I need to pay the fares using this card and do I need to inform the bank when I am leaving and returning. I assume it only covers the card holder.

      Hi Andrew,

      Thank you for your inquiry.

      You must meet the eligibility requirements to get the complimentary insurance of this ANZ Platinum card. The coverage will automatically activate once you spend a total of least AUD$250 (inclusive of taxes and other charges) for transport or land content costs using the card. The complimentary travel insurance will also cover your spouse and any dependent children that are travelling with you throughout the journey once they meet the eligibility criteria, including payments for their travel bookings using your ANZ Platinum card.

      Cheers,
      Jason

    My family and I are heading to Europe in May 2017 however we are purchasing tickets now, October 2016. Your complimentary insurance covers us from the day we start to travel for a period of 6 months. What happens if a close member of our family (not travellers) becomes seriously ill or dies and we need to cancel the flights prior to departure? Are we covered? Do we get our travel costs covered and reimbursed?

      Hi Sandy,

      Thanks for you question. Just to confirm that you’ve reached finder.com.au – a comparison website and general information service, not actually ANZ nor QBE Insurance.

      The Cancellation and Additional Expenses are actually included in the complimentary travel insurance attached to your eligible ANZ credit card, however, certain conditions apply.

      On pages 31 to 33 of the T&Cs, QBE Insurance has not stated that the cancellation and travel expenses will be covered if the reason for cancellation is due to a serious illness or death of a family not travelling with you.

      For your reference, I have sent to your email the ANZ travel insurance PDS.

      Cheers,
      May
