Is there anyway to "re-pay" your FF taxes.

[fersea]

I have booked a 140k around the world trip. I paid the taxes with my Macquarie visa. I now have an Amex platinum charge card that includes 180 days travel insurance if you pay the taxes on that card. I didn't have that card at the time.

Is there anyway I can re-pay my taxes using the Amex card and get a refund of the initial payment either back onto my Macquarie card or a cheque.

I wouldn't mind if there was a few weeks between paying again and getting the refund.

Two words..... Good luck

I am not an expert on this, but just making a suggestion - if you make another purchase related to the RTW trip (such as accommodation) on the Amex card, will that give you insurance for the entire journey? I believe the terms of my card (Earth Black) offer this.

Perhaps a strategic re-route or carrier change could result in a re-calculation on taxes. This would require an adcol (additional collection). Would that be enough, or does it have to be the entirety paid on it?
