I understand the conditions attached to the platimum card international travel insurance which requires payments for travel to be made by your Credit card. They also have strict rules if you use FF points. You must have 15,000 points transferred in the past 6 months. It used to be 10,000 points.
Paypal are again offering cashback up to $200 for travel purchases through a number of online agents. My question is: does payment through paypal which comes off my credit card (if I change the default option whereby paypal try to steer you to a bank transfer instead) count as a credit card payment for the trip?
According to the claim form, you must show as proof your CC statement that the trip has been paid for by CC. But the statement will show a paypal payment.
I am not making a claim (I hope) just tossing up whether to rely on the platinum CC travel insurance for my next trip. I wonder if this offer by paypal will trigger an exclusion on the insurance.
