Debit Card Protection

Am about to purchase Flight only tickets on line from Jet2.com

As usual they have a CC fee - in this case about £40 (3 tickets), but no fee if Debit C used

OK J2 are pretty safe but what protection would I have if using Debit C

Also I have two Debit Cards (both VISA) - FDirect (main a/c) & NWide, if used which would be best

Thanks in advance

    Not much. Chargeback - if the company fails to deliver goods/services, but still operates and has money to get charged.

    Chargeback Protection for debit card purchases

    I don't see any difference.

    If jet2 goes belly up you can claimback on a debit card.

    TBH FD's customer service is so much better you will be better off using their card.
