Just quickly, does the $250 need to be done in one transaction, and \ or is there rules in regards to what types of purchases trigger the insurance cover?
For example, the last thing you want is to put through a purchase of $230 for the flights, and then $20 for transfers, to find out that your not actually covered because the policy requires $250 to be spent in one transaction, or you find that $250 must be spent on certain types of purchases, but transfers are not amongst the valid types to trigger the insurance...
Just suggestion to read over the PDS carefully... Last thing you want is for something to go wrong and then find out your not covered as your purchases where not done in the right way or of the right type.
