    but you are covered on both under section 75

    Section 75 applies to Credit Cards not Debit Cards.

    Both Visa and Mastercard adhere to Section 75 by law.

    Visa have kindly extended their chargeback facility to Debit Cards.

    STOP being pedantic :rolleyes: ! The question I replied to didn't mention credit or debit, but I gave an answer to both !

    To quote myself !

    I'd still advise paying by credit card though ! ALL have protection.

    Visa and Mastercards are just BRANDS!!! its like having a visa debit/electron or a maestro, theres no difference at all just that Visa and Mastercard are the 2 main brands and thats it!

    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.
