If you’re in the market for a travel insurance policy, American Express has renewed the excellent welcome gifts for its My Travel Insurance plans. You can now enjoy up to S$120 eCapitaVouchers or a Samsonite luggage when you purchase a single-trip or annual policy.

From 1 October to 6 January 2025, customers who purchase a My Travel Insurance policy with the code GETAWAYNOW can enjoy the following welcome gifts:

  Single-Trip Annual Multi-Trip
Essential
Standard S$20 eCV S$80 eCV
Superior S$40 eCV
  • APAC: S$120 eCV
  • Worldwide*: Samsonite NIAR 29″ luggage + S$50 eCV
*Applies to both Worldwide (ex USA, Canada and Cuba) and Worldwide (ex Cuba)

In addition to this, American Express cardholders who purchase their plans (whether single-trip or annual) via my referral link will enjoy an extra S$15 eCapitaVoucher.

For avoidance of doubt, you’ll receive one welcome gift and one referral gift per policy purchased, so for example, someone who buys 2x single-trip Superior plans will get 2x S$40 eCapitaVoucher + 2x S$15 eCapitaVoucher .

In terms of coverage, the My Travel Insurance Superior plan offers up to S$500,000 coverage for accidental death and permanent disablement, up to S$2 million for overseas medical expenses or personal liability, S$20,000 for travel cancellation or curtailment, S$1,000 of rental car excess, as well as COVID-19 protection. 

Miles chasers will be pleased to know that the plan also offers up to S$20,000 coverage for the loss of frequent flyer points, in the event your inability to travel leads to them being forfeited (e.g. if you book a KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes award, which cannot be refunded, or if you’ve booked a hotel with points and are outside the free cancellation window). 

Terms & Conditions

Below you’ll find links to the factsheet, policy wording, FAQs and T&Cs for this offer. 

Gifts from purchase of the policy be fulfilled within eight weeks of purchasing the plan.

The bonus eCapitaVouchers from the referral programme will take up to 12 weeks for fulfillment.

How to purchase a plan

When you click on my referral link, you’ll be prompted to enter your AMEX card number. This will confirm which reward you qualify for. 

After that, you’ll be able to select the plan you wish to purchase (My Travel Insurance Annual Multi Trip in this case). Click on that and proceed as per usual. 

The promo code field will be automatically populated with GETAWAYNOW, and you’ll see that the regular gifts still apply, just as if you were going via the public website.

Do you earn miles or points on your purchase?

While American Express no longer awards points for insurance payments in general, there’s an exception carved out for “payments made for insurance products purchased through American Express authorised channel”.

My assumption would be that My Travel Insurance purchases qualify, and if that’s the case you’ll be able to earn your usual general spending rate, on top of the gifts.

Card Earn Rate
AMEX HighFlyer Card 1.8 mpd
Not participating in the referral programme
AMEX Solitaire PPS Credit Card 1.3 mpd
AMEX PPS Credit Card 1.3 mpd
AMEX KrisFlyer Ascend 1.2 mpd
AMEX KrisFlyer Credit Card 1.1 mpd
AMEX Centurion 0.98 mpd
AMEX Platinum Charge 0.78 mpd
AMEX Platinum Reserve 0.69 mpd
 AMEX Platinum Credit Card 0.69 mpd

Is the AMEX Highflyer excluded from earning miles with this,?

TKW

Note, however, that it is not included as a valid card under the Referral/Referee programme, so I think you will not get the $15 e-voucher.

Mel

I remember seeing an EDM awhile back saying that it is now included.

TKW

If I use my Amex card to purchase individual policies for others, e.g. family members, will each policy get a reward? Or will I get the reward only if I’m the insured in the policy?

hahalol

Do we get both luggage and Accor plus?

Hi, does anyone know if TCM expenses is covered under post journey medical expenses? Thanks

Tony

My best advice is that one should not just get any travel insurance based on what travel benefits they give you such as hotel membership or some vouchers. You need to know their coverage, what are included or excluded, how good they are in processing your claims. The whole purpose of travel insurance is to protect you during travel. When you get into a sticky situation and spent a lot of money on medical expenses overseas where you have no state mandated health coverage and the insurance do not honour your claims…you be in a lot of trouble.

Would like to point out that the coverage for loss of frequent flyer points is only applicable for very exceptional events leading to cancellation of the flight (eg. Natural disasters, riots, hospitalised etc). Listed in p.24/clause 15 of the policy wording.

Kenny

I believe the list only applies to a very small percentage of claims because such events are usually quite severe and doesn’t cover more common stuff such as missed connections, flight delays etc. Still useful nevertheless when it happens.

The cost of a superior plan to Malaysia is $40 and we can get back $40+$15 in eCapitaVouchers…It seems like there is the opportunity to churn the $15 per policy.
