Thanks Desafinado (as a Portuguese speaker myself I like the name). I must have missed it in the threads but can you confirm this deal also worked wiyh Amex Velocity Platinum cards? I know that's what you've written but I just want to be doubly sure. Don't want to find myself out of key ��

Hey RoMambai ! Yes, it does work with the AMEX Velocity Platinum card. I took out a policy on my brother by using it. (It's my primary card, not a supplementary one)
haha, i don't speak Portuguese, but i like the Bossa Nova song, "Desafinado". So i use it as my handle name :)
 
Second insurance policy just got charged today (sitting in pending). In a few days we will see if I get 2 lots of 20k points using two different cards linked to the same account.

First charge for me is also sitting in pending. It's the only policy I took out so I'm not expecting any issues with the 20k MR.

The first came in without any issues the day it cleared so I wouldnt think you will have any problems getting the 20k points.
 
Both of my policies charged this morning and sitting in the pending list. Here's hoping for a swift crediting of 20k MR pts & 20k QFF pts. :D

Same here - however my second card is a seperate account (both my names)
Hopefully clears tomorrow and points hit soon after.
Otherwise will cancel second policy within cooling off period
 
Have they done this type of offer before? My wife and I have just been approved for the AMEX Qantas Ultimate, and this seems like a very cheap way to get some additional bonus points - however I don't think we'll get our cards in time for this offer!!!
 
If u don't receive your card by month end Have you considered signing up through someone else's Amex account if u don't have one , using another credit card and later updating your card with the Amex before payment is taken ?

No I haven't, would this work? I thought you'd have to go through your own AMEX account to receive the bonus?
 
It might . Although I think the bonus is linked to the card being. Charged . Is it possible to get an Amex account without the card for travel booking not insurance purposes ?

If the cards haven't arrived by Monday I will give AMEX a ring and ask them whether I can have the card number (probably won't do this, which I understand) or whether they will extend the offer to both of us until we receive our cards and activate them - can't really hurt trying.
 
I am really torn whether I should do this one. I wasn't targeted and there is no mention in my account of the offer or on the insurance website. I'd have to give my "Hollywood age" to get a reasonable annual cost under $50. Is there any risk, like do they ask for any proof of age? I don't care if the insurance is valid, just want the points.

I opened up live chat on the American express for clarification and they said it will be applied regardless. They did ask for the last 5 didgets of the card, maybe that just verified by identity.

I copied the chat log just to be safe.

Do it yourself, only takes 5 minutes for them to check it out for you.
 
The Ezicover life was pending for a few days just cleared but the points haven't landed yet. Should they land as soon as its cleared? Plat Edge card.
 
i've already got 20k points for one annual insurance via Amex platinum edge, 2nd one via Explorer, monthly payment cleared, but no points.. :-( guess have to cancel the policy then...
