Hey guys,

I was having a thought that most of the credit card insurance covers if you 'book a ticket starting from Australia', what happens from a coverage point of view if you book a ticket that is:

1. outside of Australia (say a small intra europe trip using Amex plat) but you are already on a trip that is starting and returning to australia, would that be covered?
2. If you booked a one way ticket out of Australia using points from the card + pay on an award ticket, and book a separate ticket either to Australia or another country would they be covered?
3. Any cards that covers all travel related spendings as long as it is using the card to pay for the trip/accommodation, regardless if it started from Australia or not. Whether it is Australian issued or from another country that we can potentially access to.
