I have three pre-existing conditions.
1. Marginally high blood pressure.
2. Marginally high cholesterol - so that I have to answer Yes, to the question of has anyone ever recommended you take medication for cholesterol.
3. Type 2 Diabetes.
I've always travelled with travel insurance - I just paid the extra money for the pre-existing conditions.
Last year I entered the exact same three details at the Amex Card Travel Insurance site, and was rejected outright - no options were given to me for paying a premium for pre-existing conditions.
The annoying part is that two of my pre-existing conditions are so marginal - I know heaps of people with much much higher readings than mine, but I suspect they would be insured if they only have two conditions.
Any ideas why Amex rejects people like me, where three other insurers happily covered me after I paid the extra premium?
Regards,
Renato
