Section 75 and "non credit" credit cards

Hello

Right now I use a Halifax credit card, which comes with actual credit. So it covers me for section 75.

My question is:
What about Revolut and Monzo Visa/Mastercard payments?

I have account with both Revolut and Monzo, but not actually using those accounts yet for day-to-day stuff.
None of the cards have any credit. You can only spent whatever is in your balance.

I have a Mastercard with Monzo.
Is it purely classed as a debit card and therefore section 75 protection is not covered?

Thanks

    As you said a debit card does not offer 75 protection

    however what it can offer is chargeback if you have a problem with something you buy with it

    you could Google chargeback and find out a bit more
