I know the -0.25 x multiplier sucks but it is still earning avios and better when buying tickets (even if just paying the "taxes") - and is a "chip" and has no overseas transaction fees....not sure of many others that offer all this.
Depends on annual spend I suppose...but if at minimum to get the travel together voucher then you lose potentially 7500 avios over previous but could get back a thousand of it when you book CW +1 in taxes (3x instead of 2.5x)
A poor "enhancement" but not necessarily a reason to move on. If you find a better option (including Travel insurance / Car Hire Insurance) I would love to know.
