this concern applies to all Travel Insurance (and any medical insurance. There is no more difference between credit card insurance and retails policies, than comparing random retail policies.Most Crédit card insurances don't cover pre-existing medical conditions (at least not without an additional premium).
So unless you are young and healthy you need to tread carefully.

For my last couple of trips, I’ve relied on the credit card insurance (after checking that it satisfied my needs), and then bought a separate basic cover, with a motorcycle add-on pack. Both times about $40.Another issue. Most of these are either lacking or have severe limitations when it comes to riding a motorcycle or scooter. Some of them have rediculous requirements like having to own a license in both Australia and the foreign country. Some restrict the CC severely.

Ditto to all you said. Allianz only asked me for the itinerary and receipts for claim. For the itinerary i gave them flight booking, which shows I paid by points and CC for the charges - but I could have shown them other paperwork. If they truly wanted proof of eligibility they would gave stated clearly so in the first instance.Unlike an earlier post, Allianz did want to see the statement showing the qualifying payment. I have needed to claim on credit card insurance four times,...
I believe that is incorrect - they have confirmed for me that paying for the outward flight is sufficient to be eligible.Can you confirm that to be eligible for the AMEX travel Insurance, you not only have to pay with your Amex card (which is to be expected), but you must also purchase the travel through Amex Travel, not through any other travel agent nor direct with the airline or agency?
Thanks for that. I will check as Amex has always covered this for me in the past via my Amex Platinum Charge card.I was surprised to find that the Amex complimentary insurance doesnt cover car rental excess, whereas ANZ does. So I tend to use ANZ TI rather than Amex TI now.
I am sure this varies with the different type of Amex card.I believe that is incorrect - they have confirmed for me that paying for the outward flight is sufficient to be eligible.

Which Amex card are you referring to?
