Summary of changes to your Card



The new insurance Terms and Conditions on your American Express® Gold Card will replace your previous Terms and Conditions. The new Terms and Conditions will apply to all claim events occurring on or after 15 March 2022.

 

Australian Government Restrictions on Travel (including COVID)

You may, in some circumstances, be covered for costs if you need to amend or cancel your trip due to an Australian State or Territory government or the Australian Federal Government or a government agency (such as ‘DFAT’) issuing a ‘Do Not Travel’ warning, or closing borders, after you book your trip. However, no cover is provided:

  • If the country you’re travelling to is subject to a Government 'Do Not Travel' warning or if borders are closed before your trip starts and you choose to travel anyway. This exclusion applies even if you have an exemption from the Australian government to travel:

  • For government travel advisories or border closures related to COVID-19 for Domestic Return Trips.
