Section 75 coverage for holiday accomodation rental

Options
If I pay for rental of private holiday accomodation using my credit card, am I still covered for Section 75 if its a scam or anything?

Alternatively, if I pay with my credit card via paypal is that the same or does the fact that paypal is in the middle cancel it out?

Also, do I need to pay in one go or can I pay deposit then full balance? Aparently this can make a difference.

I've got amex platinum card which may make a difference since they seem better than most.

    If paypal is involved the link is broken, but if they have their own merchant account doubt they will take amex
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    See the search box top right of your screen?

    Type "section 75", select "main site", and click the magnifying glass.

    Then click the first result returned.

    That will answer all your questions. :)
