2017 changes to The Warehouse SmartGuard credit card repayment insurance

As a The Warehouse SmartGuard policyholder, you have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your credit card repayments can be taken care of in the event of serious illness, injury, redundancy, bankruptcy or death, under the terms of your policy.

The important news is that your insurance cover is about to get an upgrade. From 1 September 2017 your policy will change and will include the following new benefits:

  1. New Death or Terminal Illness of a Spouse or Child benefit. Up to $5,000 paid off your card balance in the event that your spouse or child dies or are diagnosed with a terminal illness and given less than 12 months to live.
  2. Improved Temporary Disablement benefits. We’ve widened the employment definitions under the temporary disablement benefit, to give homemakers (as defined in the policy wording) a greater ability to claim under this benefit.
  3. Improved Permanent Disablement benefits. We’ve changed the way we assess disablement under the permanent disablement benefit, so if you’re under 70 and not working you may still be eligible to claim.

This information is a summary only. Full terms and conditions, including exclusions and stand downs apply; please refer to your policy document.

How does the change affect claims?
The new policy wordings apply on the 1 September 2017. However; if the event that you’re claiming for happens on or after 1 June 2017, if it’s beneficial to you, your claim may be assessed using the enhanced definitions. It’s as easy as that.

What do you need to do now?
Please take a few minutes to review the updated policy document. As there are a number of changes, please read it carefully, you are able to download the policy document here and a paper version can be supplied upon request. If you have any questions, please call us on free phone 0800 801 808. Other than that, there’s nothing you need to do – your updated policy wording will automatically replace your current policy wording from 1 September 2017.
