HSBC platinum card travel insurance

[Sydchick]

Does anyone know whether this is any good? I usually buy separate cover but since I paid for flights with this card, would that be enough? I'm only going to UK and Europe on this trip and cover for six weeks is getting pretty expensive. Thanks for any advice !!

Before I applied for this credit card last year I called the insurance company (Zurich from memory) and they assured me the credit card insurance (HSBS Plat, Qantas) was the same product they sold as "normal" travel insurance. All I needed to do was have access (online or paper) to "proof" I had bought our flights with the card... which I did.

Googled a few review forums as well and it seemed ok.

Thanks for that stewiejp. I think I will cross fingers and go with it!
