Hmmm, that doesn´t make it very clear to me. I still don´t know if I will be covered if I only pay for the hotel. I might drop AMEX an email asking for what precisely is the prerequisite for being covered by their medical insurance during trips abroad.

Oh, that´s great! I had been under the impression that this year´s changes to the T&Cs meant that all insurances depend on having paid with your AMEX also included the medical cover. But if that´s not the case than great! ^
Tempted to try a self-referral one of these days...

No it's only the travel inconvenience/luggage type of stuff that needs to be paid for on the card. The start of the T&Cs lists which items require spend to be on the Card (and by 'Card' they mean any personal/small business AMEX card that is issued by AMEX themselves).

Thanks for the list!
As for the personal belongings, money and travel documents my original question then still stands. What part of a trip do I have to pay for with my Amex card? The flight? The hotel? The car rental? ...?
