This insurance provides automatic protection for

Extended Warranty
Extended Warranty is a benefit available to ANZ Frequent Flyer Visa
Platinum cardholders. The cover extends the manufacturer’s expressed
Australian warranty on personal goods purchased, provided the purchase
is charged to the
cardholder’s eligible ANZ Frequent Flyer Visa Platinum
credit card account. The insurance does not affect the rights of cardholders
against a manufacturer in relation to contravention of statutory or implied
warranties under
Australian legislation.
The insurance cover comes into effect at the end of the
Australian warranty
period that applies to the
personal good(s), provided the Australian
warranty is for no more than 5 years.
Only articles with a manufacturer’s unique identification serial number on
them are covered under this insurance and the extended warranty period
will be for a period of time equivalent to the
Australian warranty period, up
to a maximum of one full year.
For example:
Australian warranty period Extended warranty period
7 days 7 days
14 days 14 days
1 month 1 month
6 months 6 months
1 to 5 years 1 year
over 5 years no cover
This Extended Warranty only covers the failure of
personal goods to operate
for the purpose for which they were designed as a result of a breakdown
or defect, provided the breakdown or defect is covered by the terms of the
Australian warranty.
The liability of Zurich for claims made pursuant to this insurance shall not
exceed:
the actual Australian dollar purchase price of the
personal good charged to
an
ANZ Frequent Flyer Visa Platinum credit card account; and
in a 12 month period the sum of A$10,000 per
ANZ Frequent Flyer Visa
Platinum credit card account.
If a claim is to be paid under this insurance
you must obtain our approval
prior to proceeding with any repairs or replacement of the
personal goods
which have broken down or are defective.

Best Price Guarantee Scheme
Best Price Guarantee Scheme is a benefit available to ANZ Frequent Flyer
Visa Platinum cardholders when new personal goods are purchased
anywhere in
Australia and the entire cost is charged to the cardholder’s
ANZ Frequent Flyer Visa Platinum credit card account.
This scheme guarantees the
cardholder gets the best price if, within 21
days after the purchase of a
personal good, they advise us that they have
subsequent to their purchase, received a printed catalogue showing the
same
personal good (same model number and same model year), by the
same manufacturer, for a lower price from a store within 25 kilometres
of the store from where the
personal good was purchased, and the price
difference is greater than A$75.
The cheaper
personal good must be:
the same model number; and
same model year; and
produced by the same manufacturer as the
personal good you had
previously purchased.
The catalogue showing the cheaper article must have been printed after
the date
you purchased the personal good.
You must report (make a claim) the cheaper article to Zurich within 21 days
of the purchase of the
personal good. This is because under this Best Price
Guarantee Scheme Zurich only provides cover for cheaper articles reported
within 21 days of the date of purchase of the original
personal good.
Provided the price difference is greater than A$75
you will be refunded the
price difference up to A$300.
