  When they reintroduced it after covid the terms seemed quite strict and the coverage poor compared to other cards such as Amex or ANZ. I would definitely select a different card for my travel insurance if I was planning using it.

  I got some flights with this insurance but I intend on buying regular travel insurance just to cover all bases.

  I've recently noticed my Bankwest Platinum card seems to have removed the need to purchase the travel tickets through them. At least I couldn't find it prominently on the insurance details, like it usually is.

    this is correct

    The best bit? There's no minimum spend – the cover applies automatically if you're eligible.

  @LittleMiss Did this ever get resolved?

  I also put in a delayed baggage claim in the middle of July and have yet to have any response despite my request for information.

  I note that the insurer AIG is a signatory to the General Insurance Code of Practice and under that code is meant to provide an update on a claim every 20 business days and resolve the claim within 4 months.

  It looks like they are playing the long game for a pretty straightforward claim.

  Just an update to my claim.

  Two days before the end of the four-month period in which AIG is meant to resolve the claim I received a request for some additional information. This is despite providing everything that was requested when initially submitting the claim.

  It appears to be a case of the 28° Mastercard insurer, AIG Australia Limited, just kicking the can further down the road for a simple claim.

  Last update for those that may go through making a similar claim.

  Claim lodged on 24/07/22 and proceeds received 05/12/22.

  Claim settled for $1400 (2 people $700 each).

  The lack of communication and the time AIG took to settle a straightforward baggage claim were disappointing.

    Hi Jaitch, thanks for all the updates - I'm sorry I missed them.

    Yes my claim eventually got resolved after about 8 weeks. This is considerably longer than previous claims I've made with other insurance eg. Medibank Private which would normally be confirmed in about 1-2 weeks. Maybe I've been lucky.

    I wonder if it's to do with a huge number of claims needing to be settled due to the an incremental amount of delayed flights and baggage around the world. Agree with the lack of communication, I ended up sending an email a couple times a week and calling and demanding to speak to the person looking after my case.

    Ultimately happy with the compensation though for all the inconveniences - also 2x $700 = $1400
