Not saying you'll never use these card benefits, but through all my business and personal travels, I've had zero instances of needing any credit card travel benefits. When you account for the immediate 14% savings, the expected value of travel loss is less. So it's a better deal to "gamble" and gain a guaranteed 14% savings vs. the <1% chance of drawing a credit card travel insurance claim, which are pretty limited. You also subtract from the benefit the 14% savings here, further lowering the CC benefit.

It looks like car rentals are where the issue comes in where the entire fare must be charged. Airlines, from my reading of this document for this card, partial payment is acceptable.
The $450 price is standard (when cards are sold) but $430 is only a few times a year.
I did exactly this a couple months ago. Online chat credited my credit card for the difference ($20) as I had purchased a couple days prior.

Pissed I missed that one, as I have a family trip in July. Was about to buy $450 giftcards & tickets yesterday, but decided to wait until this weekend in case Memorial Day sale brought it back.
Not quite as good at $420, but good enough, bought 4, saving me $280 on flights.
