Does anyone know if the AMEX business gold will cover lost bags on an award ticket if the taxes and fees were charged to the card. Fine print says "To be covered, you must pay the entire fare for travel on a Common Carrier (e.g. plane, train, ship, or bus) with your eligible Card. Entire Fare means the cost of the full fare for a Covered Trip on a Common Carrier. You can use your Basic or Additional Card Member's American Express Card, American Express Membership RewardsŪ Points or a combination of both for the entire fare. But if you use another form of payment or frequent flyer miles or points from another program to pay for all or part of the fare, you will not be covered."

We used AMEX SPG points which were transferred.

The rep we called said awards were not covered.

It should be covered. When I bought separate trip insurance I paid based on the cost of taxes and fees and redeposit.it was significantly less than the dollar cost.
