    Oh, and CCs only offer greater protection in transactions where the item is worth more than £100.

    So they do offer a greater protection then! Hence why people would prefer to use CCs than chargecards or debit.

    I cannot speak for all multi millionaires, but the few I know do have staff that would manage these issues - a PA, an accountant, in one case a team of accountants. With such a high worth it makes sense to delegate such tasks.

    Ah, the few you know, but not all ;)

    No you haven't.

    Unless you mean this sentence:

    yes, that sentence, and this:

    "To top it off, giffgaff have now stopped my mobile phone, so I'm stuck without a phone, and the credit card is still getting declined because it takes up to 48 hours for them to re-enable it apparently."

    pretty clear, but if you need clearer: my phone was cut off because the credit card was declined. How's that?

    It's a card that needs to be paid in full each month.

    We have access to some £2m across the company on Corporate Cards, and I personally have access to around another £200k on my 6 personal cards, so I don't need one, but they can be useful for many businesses/entrepreneurs.



    It offers more protection than a Debit, legal protection, rather than customary.

    Do charge cards offer more protection than a credit card? I think CC's still offer more protection, which was the point I was making.

    I agree.

    I was simply responding to the OP's erroneous statement:

    pedantic...

    Certainly not.

    Glad to hear it, we're in agreement then!

    Certainly it's a bizarre thing to do on their part.

    That's my point! So we're in agreement then.
