Gold Mastercard with travel cancellation insurance

There’s always a chance you can’t go on holiday or you have to interrupt it because of troubles at home such as a member of your family being admitted to hospital. This travel cancellation insurance covers the costs of cancelling personal trips that you have paid for using a KBC payment method. If you’re already on holiday and have to return early, you’ll receive compensation for the number of days’ holiday you miss. You are covered for claims of up to 6,000 euros.

What’s excluded?

• Cancellations or interruptions due to non-stable medical disorders or injuries that already existed when the trip was booked
• Claims that are the result of an excessive use of alcohol or medication or drugs, which were not prescribed by a doctor

You can pay securely where Mastercard is accepted in restaurants, hotels, online, abroad or wherever you are.

A Gold Mastercard from KBC has a standard spending limit of 5,000 euros a month. You can use the KBC Mobile app or KBC Touch to raise your maximum limit in real time for one month (excluding credit cards with a KBC Flex Budget facility).

Your credit card spending is generally deducted from your account in one go in the next month. If you want to spread your repayments over several months, link your KBC credit card to a KBC Flex Budget facility. This extra cash reserve can be repaid at your own pace. In exchange for a certain rate of interest, you choose how much you pay off every month.

Learn more about a KBC Flex Budget facility.

This lets you pay using your credit card without having to enter its PIN. All you have to do is hold your card against the terminal. If you’d sooner not, you can disable the option in KBC Touch.
