    Good afternoon!

    We have an ANZ platinum credit card. We are under 65 years old – next year we are going on a cruise in Europe. We are putting the amount on our credit card – if we get sick or injured and are unable to go on the cruise will we get a full refund for the price of the cruise or should I look at separate cruise insurance?

    Thank you.

      Hi Helen,

      Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

      Yes, so long that you meet the eligibility requirements for ANZ complimentary travel insurance then you will be covered for the trip cancellation. You may reach out to Allianz if you have further query on the complimentary travel insurance.

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!

    Am I covered under “included travel insurance “as the primary card holder will not be travelling with me.? I am the secondary ANZ credit card holder(spouse).

      Default Gravatar
      NikkiOctober 17, 2019

      Hi Lorelei,

      Thanks for reaching out to us. The travel insurance cover for the secondary cardholder will depend on the type of ANZ credit card you have. Generally, there is no cover for the secondary cardholder unless they are spouse or children and if so the primary cardholder would need to be travelling with them 50% of the travel period.

      Please seek assistance directly from the ANZ to obtain more information.

      Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to us again for further assistance.

      Best,
      Nikki

      Hi Sue,

      Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.

      Given that you become eligible for the complimentary travel insurance using your ANZ credit card, you will get the interstate flight inconvenience insurance where you’re only covered for cancellations of your domestic flights.

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you and have a wonderful day!
