August 2013 Platinum Charge Insurance Changes

[beardoc]

I couldn't see a thread about the new Amex Platinum Charge Travel Insurance Effective August 2013, so I thought I'd include a link:

Can't see a lot of difference to the old policy except for this:

American Express Not Accepted
Cover is effective if You cannot pay the full fare for a Trip on Your
American Express Platinum Card Account because the provider does
not accept American Express as a form of payment. You must be able
to supply proof of purchase and the name and address of the provider
who would not accept your American Express Platinum Card Account.

That means that your expedia.br fares booked are still covered under the policy because expedia.br won't accept Amex.

Any other changes people can see?

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't hear/see/read about this previously.

Also frequent flyer bookings from any source can be covered:

iii) with any other travel rewards or frequent flyer points provided the
taxes and/or surcharges have been charged to Your American Express
Platinum Card Account
