Reply To: Amex Platinum insurance – MASTER THREAD

[tazzy]

Looking for some advice. My husband has a platinum and I’m a supplementary holder.

I booked a weekend to Wimbledon and hotel for next weekend for my husbands 50th (not paid on platinum, but on BA Amex). My mum kindly agreed to mind our children.

My mum is 72 and has a long history of Glaucoma and last week got a phone call for eye surgery next week. Not only will she be unable to look after our children, but she also will need me to be there to look after her ( father has dementia and I’m only child).

In this scenario is insurance likely to cover costs as I can’t travel due to surgery in a first degree relative? I can’t change hotel or tickets to anyone else’s name. Flights are ok as they are booked with air miles. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
