credit card protection

If I already have protection on one card should they have sold me protection on another?

    Its not the law, if you want protection on the other card, just ask for it.

    But does one protection protect all my cards or are they seperate, this is what I'm unsure about?

    I assume you're talking about 'card protection'?...the product run by Sentinel and CPP etc?

    If so then you only need one, but...

    1. Why do you need it in the first place?

    2. The 2nd card provider only sold it to you because YOU asked to buy it! It was optional remember? You had to tick a box. They simply offered it for purchase and you, because you didn't read the T&Cs and/or didn't understand the product (or the first product you bought), bought it...again!

    Obviously I'm stupid then, or maybe I just did'n un-tick a box or assumed I needed protection as they did'nt ask me whether or not I had it on another card already.
    Sorry to be so silly.

    You have to register all your cards with the protection company once you have cover, you only need one policy others can be cancelled and if you have duplicate policys with the same provider they should provide you a refund as well.
