  “the policy must cover emergency healthcare with a minimum limit of QAR 150,000 (c. £35,000) with no excess”

  I don’t think I’ve ever had a travel insurance policy with ZERO excess

    Not exactly hard to find…

      indeed. but the point is that most of our existing annual policies would not meet QR requirements. even if QR loosen the rules about it being a Middle East insurance company.

  Originally it was a little interesting but as others say increasing inaccurate and cringey

  Someone drew to my attention yesterday the new taxes for passengers who have a journey originating in Pakistan. Air passenger duty to Europe is PKR 150,000 or about GBP 437. The most interesting is that it is only charged for customers in business and first.
  The government of Pakistan appears to be doing the UK Govt a big favour here: we are not the biggest fee charger any longer!

  It seems Creation have seen some light – just got this in relation to my wife’s FOS complaint from holding the IHG premium card:

  Thank you for your patience while we’ve been progressing your complaint. As you’re aware we’ve been having regular discussions with Creation Financial Services Limited (Creation) to ensure an outcome that is fair and reasonable in the circumstances.

  Throughout these conversations, Creation have provided additional information and it’s been important to take this into account for the individual circumstances of each case. As a result of our conversations with Creation, we’re pleased to let you know that Creation have made an offer to resolve your complaint.

  The offer Creation have made will depend on the type of account you held with them. I’ve explained more details below.

  Background

  The closure of credit card accounts with Creation affected two of their credit card products which provided associated benefits.

  IHG Rewards Club Premium Credit Card – customers were able to earn IHG Rewards Club points, and Anniversary Night Vouchers for an annual account fee
  IHG Rewards Club Credit Card – customers were able to earn IHG Rewards Club points

  Offer from Creation

  For any customers who held an IHG Rewards Club Premium Credit Card, Creation have offered to refund the unused proportion of the account fee on a pro-rata basis,
  transfer the outstanding IHG Rewards Club points to their IHG account, and
  grant Anniversary Night Vouchers for eligible customers.

  For any customer who held an IHG Rewards Club Credit Card, Creation have offered to transfer the outstanding IHG Rewards Club points to their IHG account.

  I would be grateful if you could let us know whether you accept the offer from Creation in full and final settlement of your complaint by 31 March 2023.

  If we don’t hear from you by then, we will assume your acceptance of this offer, ask Creation to action the settlement and close your complaint.

  My own complaint is still outstanding with FOS, however I am now expecting the same too. Wonder whether they’ve realised it’s cheaper to settle than run the risk of claims going further…

    You really should have posted this in one of the Creation threads as more people are likely to see it there than buried in an article about APD.

      Someone had already done so. Posted here in case others hadn’t seen

  Would AMEX platinum insurance meet Qatar’s insurance requirement?

  • Rob says:

    no. We now have the list of insurers and they are all Middle East groups.

      Maybe not, but in the absence of a list I could find before I flew here earlier in the week I assumed it would be ok. In the event at no point did the issue of insurance come up once at any point in my journey. YMMV, so buyer (or not buyer!) beware!
