ASB credit card travel insurance

To activate your travel insurance you simply need to pay for at least 50% of your overseas return travel tickets using your ASB Visa Platinum Rewards credit card. Remember to keep any receipts, emails, bank statements or other proof that you've activated your travel insurance. If you make a claim, we'll need to see this.

You can check activation of your travel insurance or purchase additional cover by visiting www.asbtravel.co.nz.

Here are several other quick and easy ways to activate your travel insurance prior to leaving New Zealand:

• Use your True Rewards dollars, Airpoints or other frequent flyer points to buy your overseas return travel tickets. If you don't have enough True Rewards dollars or frequent flyer points for the whole amount, you can use another activation method to pay at least 50% of the balance to qualify for cover.
• Get a cash advance from your ASB Visa Platinum Rewards account and on the same day use these funds to pay for at least 50% of your overseas return travel tickets.
• Pay for at least 50% of your overseas return travel tickets from your ASB bank account if you're unable to use your ASB Visa Platinum Rewards credit card to pay for your tickets, or there's an additional charge for using your credit card (your travel provider must give you written confirmation that your credit card is not acceptable or would incur an additional charge).
• Travel on return overseas tickets that you've won in a prize draw or competition.
