Looks like Allianz are the providers for Citibank credit card customers. Anyone compared their paid travel insurance vs complimentary via credit cards?
I also found peace of mind declaring pre existing conditions and having them approved online via a questionnaire. It is however expensive at $75 per person and even something like having a previous broken arm needs to be declared.
Anyone tried getting cover for a pre-existing medical condition with Allianz travel insurance? It says they may cover on assessment, is it an easy process and does it increase from the quoted premium?
No one can answer this question really. It’s all individual based. Why don’t you give them a bell?
This is a money grab. The assessment is a purely computer one and they charge $75 for a few clicks assessment when you decide to take the insurance. They will cover you for simple conditions like controlled hypertension etc. but will charge you the assessment fee.
So your complimentary travel insurance becomes $75 for the usual medical conditions.
That wasn't my experience a couple of months ago. Pre-existing condition covered and no extra fees.
How much detail do you have to give them? Did the premium stay the same?
@Rain Cloud: Pretty simple. Just filled out the form online and no premium. Given I have something rare (1 in 10m) I wouldn't be surprised if they just brushed it off as something simple.
@Clear: Was yours a separate policy or complimentary insurance? I did a quick quote for Allianz as a separate policy with a quote (around $130) and was wondering if premiums went up for that one (not the complimentary card one)
It was my experience 3 weeks ago, ANZ plat
You can take a gamble and opt not to declare the pre existing conditions if you don't want written travel insurance confirmation. But if you need to claim and for whatever reason they say no, you're screwed.
Some holidays can be quite expensive as it is so the extra $75 per person is worth it@0 0 0: The assessment to get my pre-existing condition covered with Allianz was free back in April. Not $75. It must be a very, very recent change if you're being charged for it.
@Clear: It isn't. The person mentioning it above with their ANZ Plat shows it is a Credit Card Insurance. This is different from a standalone Allianz policy.

I didn't get that from the main comment in a deal on Allianz insurance. Not complimentary insurance with their cc.
Yes. Have used it numerous times for my parents under their ANZ credit card the fee to add pre-existings they had was $75. Well worth it and still cheaper than having to buy a separate policy.
As this is a seperate policy you will need to pay to add a pre-existing and this can vary from free up to hundreds of dollars. Some polices include some pre-existings (blood pressure, cholesterol, etc) but for more complex ones all charge.
IMO you would be crazy if you have pre-existings not to get them covered under any insurance policy as they will find any outs to deny insurance. You don't want to be one of those people crowdfunding to get back home because you were denied Insurance because you either didn't have Travel Insurance or didn't declare any pre-existings.
I did this yesterday for our complimentary Citibank Allianz insurance.
It's easy, no physical medical assessment required for us. It's all online and you put in the people you want covered plus the pre existing medical conditions for the travellers impacted. One of our children has anaphylaxis allergies and asthma and has been admitted to hospital in the past 4 weeks for allergic reactions. He was approved and covered. Our other child had a broken arm 3 months ago and he was also covered. They then charged $150 for the two assessments which is a rort but we got written confirmation that everyone in our trip is covered along with the pre existing conditions.
For piece of mind well worth it. And when you start looking at individual polices costs with pre existing added on the $75 IMO is a bargain for a total cost.
Do you need to activate the complimentary travel insurance? Or take assessment for pre existing?
For my ANZ card comp insurance you need to spend $250 in travel related costs before leaving, have a return ticket to Australia, be under 81 years of age to meet the eligibility for it. If you meet all these then take the assessment. The assessment should get your to clarify you meet these things anyway.
dumb question: i'm traveling to Italy and France soon, just wondering does travel insurance cover stolen phone/camera/wallet? if yes, how does it work?
From the Citibank Allianz cover it covers mobile and camera. I think you need to pay an excess but can't remember. You would need a police report.
There are some general exclusions like if you leave your items unattended and unsecured they won't cover it. Probably also if it is left in a car and visible they won't cover it. If items are left in the boot of a car and stolen from the car without visible forced entry they won't cover it.So my take is that if you were mugged it would probably be covered or perhaps if it was stolen from a hotel (maybe they'd also expect it to be in the hotel safe). If a gypsy stole it from you whilst having a coffee and you put your phone down maybe you'd be covered as well.
Well written. One thing to keep in mind is insurance will ask for numerous things when you claim. Police report, Purchase Receipt, etc. Once the Claim is approved (hopefully) they will then apply any depreciation to the item then less your excess for the claim from the depreciated item and that is what you get back.
Thank you! so it really depends on what's in a police report then
I always use TID for travel insurance, anyone got anything to say in comparrison between them?
I only had to make a claim once and they were very good, mind you that was back in about 2007.
Price for this is tempting as I'm unable to find any discounts for TID at the moment.
Read both PDS and see which best covers your circumstances.
Anyone know if there is travel / luggage insurance for one way trip.
Citibank Allianz does not cover one way trips. You need to have prepaid a full return trip before travelling to be covered. You cant buy and one way and then say you were going to buy another one way back later on after you had commenced your trip.
Here you go from a quick google search-

Allianz vs Medibank vs Qantas comprehensive travel insurance?
Would appreciate hearing your thoughts.
My case: annual 45 or 60 days-per-trip policy for USA visits. Also can get a %15 discount as an existing Medibank health insurance customer.To many variables to what suits you and your circumstances. Download each PDS and see which covers your situation best.
What's the cheapest, no frills, worst case scenario medical only option out there. Not interested in personal effects, delays, cancellations cover. I've used Credit Card complimentary for the last many years but ANZ dropping it to 3mths is a bit of a pain. This and the ING change to ATM rebates was a blow.
Safety Wing is pretty expensive but the flexibility is good.
Allianz are pretty good. Had to make a claim recently due to travel interruptions, and went smoothly with them.
