agree...and it's not just TAs that charge fees for paying by CC, most airlines do now too...Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?0 -
did you know you can walk into your bank, and withdraw cash over the counter, normally up to £1000.

Why should the travel agent take your money and make it easy for you, you didnt want their help when you were making the booking why should they help you for nothing now.
I think either the TA couldnt be arsed and told you it was cash only or she didn't know she could take a card, because if she was taking it for another TCook shop then it is cash only but online bookings or telephone its normally paid by card. There's always a charge for credit card £50 is the maximum charges you pay, how did you pay your deposit you would have seen the cc charge then.0 -

Because companies are obliged to prove a method customers can pay without being charged such as Ryan Air and the visa electron issue.0 -
Having found the only mention of a charge being that they will levie a charge, there is no mention of the amount on any of the paperwork. It seems your only way to find out what the charge will be is to make a payment, which seems pretty unfair to me.
Are companies not obliged to advertise the price you will pay at the point of sale?0 -

I've just booked a holiday with Thomas Cook and I did not pay a fee when paying with my debit card.0
