TID0218

Was looking for travel insurance for my upcoming USA trip (paid for by work so can't use CC insurance), and a little googling came back with a discount code for TID.

Use TID0218 for 10% off Travel Insurance (however this discount doesn't seem to apply to the Excess Reduction amount that adds on to the premium).

Don't forget to book through Cashrewards to get 7.00% cashback (the 7% rate is a limited time promo and will revert back to 4.20%).
NOTE: This coupon (TID0218) is not listed on the Cashrewards site so the cashback may be declined. YMMV.

    Oh please…this has been available almost permanently for years.This is OzBargain remember.

      I agree, but all other deals for TID are expired. So a good reminder to the community. The site offers to email you a coupon but that's only 5%.

      This deal will help OzBargainers for sure.

    just tried a quote and it came about about 50% more expensive than InsureAndGo…

    10% off isn't going to make it a bargain…

    • MathNerd on 08/01/2018 - 21:22

      As with all insurances, each person's specific circumstances will vary the premium. What's cheapest for me will not necessarily be the cheapest for someone else.
      Of course with these things it's always a case of "shop around for the best price".
      In my case, I compared many insurance companies for my circumstances and TID came out the cheapest even without the code, so the code made it even more of a bargain.

        As with all insurances, each person's specific circumstances will vary the premium

        So it's not really a bargain then…

        Also, I checked the benefits and they appear to be a lot less too.

        Can you list your destination, dates and range so we can compare?

    • ciab on 08/01/2018 - 21:40

      InsureAndGo seems expensive. I use Southern cross travel insurance

      • matt-ozb on 08/01/2018 - 21:56

        Southern crosss seems expensive. My credit card provides travel insurance. I usual put an airfare on one credit card then hotel on another credit card, hence two sets of travel insurance.

        • jv on 08/01/2018 - 22:27

          My credit card provides travel insurance.

          Just checked on my Mastercard and it's only for overseas travel.

          Also, rental vehicle excess cover is about $2500 less.

          oh … i have private health insurance and medicare in australia, so i am fine with residual risks for domestic travel.

          Mate, I live in Australia already. If I drive down the road to go shopping or drive to Perth, I am fine to accept the same risks.

          Some people fly to their holidays, pay for accomodation and hire a car.

    FYI - it was 15% less than a month ago. Possibly worthwhile waiting as the 10% off is their standard offer

  • matt-ozb on 08/01/2018 - 21:55

    doesnt everyone have a credit card that provides travel insurance these days?

    I usually end up going with TID as the overall price isn't that high but seems to cover a decent amount without too much nitpick customising to save money. Usually the overall price means I'll still buy it on top of any CC insurance I might have. So good to have these "10% reminders" posted as I know to never pay the original price but makes it quick finding the latest code, etc.

    Was looking for travel insurance for my upcoming USA trip (paid for by work so can't use CC insurance)

    Our work travel includes travel insurance for entire work trips, anything like that here? But again like CC touchwood on how useful it is if it's even offered by the company at all.

    • RedHab on 09/01/2018 - 08:34

      TID has a pretty dodgy reputation if you check out the Whirlpool forums.

        I fell off a mountain bike riding down Death Road in Bolivia about 2 years ago.
        -Taken to a German Hospital in Bolivia (The best in Bolivia)
        -Had surgery on my dislocated shoulder that didn't need surgery (Called TID beforehand to query whether I would be covered)
        -Was a good hospital, however, I thought it was odd that every specialist in the whole hospital seemed to need to check on me
        -Released within 2 days with a bill of $10000 AUD
        -Flew back to Australia - TID covered me the whole surgery minus a few hundred due to conversion rates. They even covered a night at a airport hotel as we were stranded due to the surgery.
        -Had to have another surgery in Sydney to fix what the surgeons did
        Overall: I recommend TID

          That's a great experience, thanks for chiming in.

          Had to have another surgery in Sydney to fix what the surgeons did

          Did TID cover this too?

          • In 2015, I wrecked my back the day before I was meant to fly overseas, and lodged a claim. They needed to see my Medicare records to ensure I wasn't claiming for a pre-existing condition, but apart from that I got paid my non-refundable airfare in full.
        • tighttighttight1 on 12/01/2018 - 10:32

          @MathNerd: Unfortunately, they would not cover the surgery to fix the initial surgery :(

          Funny thing, I fell off the mountain bike a year ago and finished in the same hospital (Clinica Alemana), but my injuries were more serious (fractured collar bone, shoulder blade, 5 ribs and collapsed lung). Stayed in the hospital 29 days, escorted back to Perth in business class. The total bill around $46k. Insured and covered everything by TID. Plus paid $50 for every day spent in the hospital.

    World2Cover offer 20%OFF with the previously expired code 'WC20'.

    • Almost Banned on 09/01/2018 - 15:37

      Just tried it and its showing as invalid.
      Shame because the quote was good - an extra 20% would have sealed the deal for me.

      Edit - sorry, typed it wrong. It seems to work.

  • Punkboy on 08/01/2018 - 22:46

    Anyone know of reasonable priced travel insurance for over 80 year olds? I just tried tid, insure and go and southern cross and southern cross was the lowest.

    CC insurance won't provide cover for over 80. Maybe the in-law parents shouldn't come to fiji with us? :-)

          @chillipaste: found it - somehow loading IE it gave me a different type of processing page.

        • ToastySteve on 23/01/2018 - 23:34

          @chillipaste:
          Just looked into this and worked out that it's cash rewards that's the problem.
          If you have it active, you can't apply a discount code.

          Special Terms
          Important:

          Rewards may not be available until 90 days after the completion of travel.

          Rewards may not be paid if a coupon code is used that is not listed on this site.

          Neither one of those special terms should really exclude using cash rewards and discount codes in conjunction with each other as far as I can see.
