When I asked Amex to point out in the cardholder agreement where it says I'm covered for reward flights, they couldn't. The language seems to be more MR related than other programs that are affiliated with their card.

Bottom line, you're covered on reward flights for sure when using Aerogold. You could be covered (or not) when using Amex and the separate insurance agency isn't going to rely on a conversation with a Amex phone rep.
