Visa Versus Mastercard

trimfifi

Hi, Can anyone tell me does mastercard have the same purchase protection as visa? For instance paying for holidays when company goes bust Visa covers the cost when the holiday is paid for with card, does the same apply to Mastercard? I cant find any info. on that.

On the assumption that you're referring to Credit Cards rather than Debit Cards... Yes.

Although if your purchase is less than £100 and doesn't qualify for section 75 protection then if its a visa credit card you can look into claiming under the VISA chargeback rules, if its a mastercard then obviously you cannot.
