Holiday Refund - can I get my cash back from credit card without a fee?

jeffmaddin

I am about to arrange to have a cash refund from my cancelled holiday. As I paid on my credit card my refund will probably be paid back to my credite card. Am I able to get that cash back from the credit card company (Barclaycard) as I paid the balance off from my savings? I don't want the money as credit on my card, I would like it back in my savings account.

Yes, just ring and ask them to pay the credit balance to you, its a standard request.

I didnt think that really needed explaining in my first post, but every day is a schoolday 🙄

Why on earth would you ring a travel company about a credit balance on your credit card?

Hi bradders.....sorry to appear so thick  Wasn't sure if you meant contact the travel company to ask them to transfer the money into my bank account rather than my credit card. As I stated the money isn't in my credit card account yet, but I can see as my question is referencing credit cards I should have assumed thats what you meant.....silly me.
