Bank of Melbourne credit card complimentary insurance
The terms
- Bank of Melbourne Credit Card Complimentary Insurance Policy Information Booklet, effective 5 April 2023
Bank of Melbourne is a division of Westpac, and this booklet is substantially the document St.George publishes: the gates, limits and card tiers are word for word the same. It is read separately because it is a separate document with its own effective date, and because a cardholder of one bank cannot rely on another's.
This cover comes with the card, from Bank of Melbourne. There is nothing extra to buy.
Conditions
- Overseas, a trip that starts and ends in Australia is covered once you have charged at least $500 of prepaid travel costs, such as fares, taxes or accommodation, to the card before you leave, and you hold a return ticket.
- Within Australia, only interstate flights are covered (cancellation, delay, luggage and funeral costs), and only when you charge the whole return fare to the card before you go.
- You have to live in Australia, and for overseas cover be under 81 when you qualify.
- One overseas trip is covered for up to six months with a Level 1 card (Amplify Signature, Vertigo Platinum, Platinum Mastercard, Visa Platinum Private Clients) or three months with a Level 2 card (Amplify Platinum, Platinum Advantage Visa, Gold Low Rate and Gold Advantage cards). An interstate trip is covered for up to 14 days.
- Overseas, pre-existing medical conditions are not covered unless the insurer confirms in writing that yours is, apart from a list of conditions covered automatically when they meet set requirements.

Deep Almanac is a secondary source and this page is provided for general information and reference. It is not financial, investment, legal, valuation, educational or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for checking the original source. This dataset holds no travel insurance premiums, because no price list is published for them: it reports what travellers pay in premiums and what comes back as claims across the whole class of business, what each policy covers, and who is authorised to underwrite it. It cannot tell you what a trip would cost to insure, and a class-wide ratio says nothing about any one insurer or trip. You are responsible for any decision you or your software makes in reliance on this page. See our terms of use.
