I thought it used to be a benefit only for Silver and above (although I could be mistaken, I never really checked the benefits for classic).
Travel insurance seems to be very expensive in Spain (especially when compared to e.g. the UK), so this could be a very good benefit. Having said that, I'm not sure how happy I would be relying on a free policy...

Bingo ! I would not rely on it. Actually travel insurance is not too bad. I had to buy a policy for a Spanish resident for two weeks in Europe and it was EUR28.60
Approx GBP21.00 that was with Iberia insurance online provided by Allianz Global Assist so was pretty decent cover. I read the policy A-Z just to make sure. The only clause I saw that one should be aware of is that if you don't buy the policy the same day as the flight you are not covered for the flight but are for everything else.
