That is only applicable for the french card? Because in the dutch website, I can't find the relevant clause.

Unless they have changed policies in the meantime, this does not chime with my experience. I applied for it with a UK address a couple of years ago and it was not an issue. The key issue was to have a French bank account rather than a French address.

I would be curious to know if anyone here had a chance to recently use this insurance and what was the outcome

Also I should add, I was talking about an additional cardmember's address ALSO having to be French. That was most definitely not the case until very recently.

I would be most concerned about medical insurance abroad being declined as in many countries that could be horrendous.

You may get a feel as well whether this "improvement" is on the way in NL.

I believe someone confirmed my concern about this, but can anyone confirm if one uses AF-issued vouchers (originally from a AF-ticket paid with an Amex AFKL card), does the Amex card insurance still apply to the new booking? The CS at FB wasn't able to confirm anything about that.

Let's hope it won't come to NL. If it does, then we will reconsider the card.

Just for the sake of checking, I read the TC of the French Amex Gold and here is what I have found (bolding is mine):
I understand then that the Amex insurance does not cover a booking if paid partially with AF-issued vouchers (originally from a AF-ticket paid with an Amex AFKL card)?

were paid for using your Amex then it’s not a problem.
Again, this is what I have been told several times (and consistently received the same response… imagine that!)

I always thought you could have both the normal and fb amex and get a signup for both.
Looking at the terms, not so sure. Anyone can confirm this?

I had no problems claiming two bonuses but once it was a mistake (after downgrading to Gold I upgraded to Platinum and got another bonus by mistake)

Just a heads up; Amex NL now has an offer on their site where you get half price for the first year, double award miles (40k for plat) and extra XP (90 xp for plat).
