The card and free insurance you should avoid.
I have a Diamond credit card that comes with free travel insurance. CBA promoted the card as a premium card from CBA for the customers. However that is not true. This free insurance is designed to avoid the payments. The first time ever I had an medical issue and had to cancel the trip two months before travel, and made a claim for Airline tickets . CBA rejected the claim for existing medical conditions even I am not claiming for medical expense. There are many unfairs and non-sense T&Cs in the PDS of the free insurance compare to CBA paid ins...Read more
urance. I also lost a chance to get credit from Airline because of slow process of the claim I placed. There are many other better credit cards with no or low annual fees that offers free travel insurance on the market. I would have better travel insurance if I didn't have the Diamond card. When I complain about the result, they ask me to send an review requesting email as it states on "Claim decline letter", but no reply for my three emails and my claim status on CBA web site was already "Finalized". I feels like bought a good looking premium car with cheap interior. CBA should stops this kind of Credit card promotions with unfair free insurance. I am going to cancel my personal Diamond Credit card and Business platinum credit card.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Absolutely Useless Policy
Phone was stolen with cash inside the wallet, whilst the phone on table with arm touching it. Provided evidence of the fact of the withdrawal amount as they requested this. Came back with a response stating that the cash must have been on my physically and denied cash aspect of claim.
The phone they only compensate for purchase price and not the rrp. Makes it difficult when the phone was a one off sale or a gift as they only give the purchase price. Never again!

How much do I have to spend on travel to get the free insurance?
1 answer
If you are a CommBank customer and have the right level of Visa credit card membership then its free.
Just log onto CommBank travel insurance, apply for it, and its issued free.
However... I have found (unfortunately) the issuing insurance underwriters (Covermore) makes you jump through endless hoops in order the claim.
I think CommBank are trying to do the right thing, its the underwriter that is my concern as my claim has been rejected.
Alternatively, if you have an AMEX credit card, then any travel booked with Amex that is over $1,000 automatically includes travel insurance.
I highly recommend you inquire into each PDS, however these are my well travelled experiences.
