Like many credit cards, my ANZ FF Platinum travel insurance requires $250 spend to activate the cover.
The issue is, even with advanced purchase rates, some hotels seems to wait until well after booking to charge the card. This is a problem as my insurance won't kick in until they charge it and I don't have any other expenses I can use to activate it for this trip. It could be particularly bad if they don't charge until arrival, or even checkout.
I've sent the hotel in question (Andaz Shanghai) an email, hoping they can expedite the charge but I'm not hopeful.
Has anyone been in this situation, or have any ideas?
