cheaper holidays on-line with thomas cook

Hi, as the holidays offered by Thomas Cook are cheaper on-line and can not be matched in store, is it safe to book the hol on-line?

Also I do not have a credit card only a debit card , I've heard it's not as safe that way.

Anyone tried it ????:confused:

    For the past few years I have found a Thomas Cook holiday online and they have matched it in store. Take a print out with you.

    Remember 'extras' such as in flight meals, seats together and extra luggage.

    Paying by credit card will incur a charge (about 2.5%)

    Why would it not be safe to book online? :confused:
