Cool, just bought Travel Insurance though for everything else that could potentially go wrong (C"V) besides cancellation.

My bad the +2,500 i not a new offer, so if you got your card after April 4th you should be part of this offer already.

If you got this card before April 4th (up to 90 days ago) you can sm them, and you should get the bonus.

It's actually 22,500 now that you get an additional 2,500 for adding an AU within the first three months. Sweet.
