I intend to spend more than $250 in Australia to pay fees for Visa as required by certain countries . If I pay the fees with my participating ANZ credit card, will I get the complimentary Travel insurance cover.
This is because the airfares, transport and accommodation have already been paid with a non-ANZ credit card.

Thank you for contacting Finder.
For the $250, you may not use it to pay for your Visa as to be eligible for the Complimentary Travel Insurance you may only spend it on either:

From reading a previous response regarding the cut-off age for cover using my Platinum ANZ Credit Card, can you confirm that as long as I book my travel whilst I’m 80 years old, I will be covered by insurance even if my by return date I have had my 81st birthday?

No, you need to be 80 years old or lower once you have activated the Complimentary Travel Insurance which means once you depart Australia since this will be the basis of the start of your policy.

Hi Roland,
Thanks for getting in touch!
I checked our pages and it shows that the age limit for the ANZ credit card is 80 years of age or under on the day you activated the insurance policy. If you are still looking for travel insurance options, you may enter your travel details in our seniors travel insurance quote engine. This will allow you to compare quotes from different insurers. 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 was helpful. Don’t hesitate to message us back if you have more questions.
