Flights to USA in Oct-20, paid on credit card, do I loose my s75 rights if accept voucher?

Options
Hi, in Dec-19 I booked flights only for a holiday in Florida for me and my family, paying in full on my credit card.  As it stands the children would not be able to take extra time off school if they needed to quarantine.  Because of the uncertainty We would like to move the holiday back a year,  if the airline allows this and we accept a credit voucher, do I loose my Section 75 protection, should the airline go out of business?  Does anyone have any advice please?

    I dont think you would use your rights but double check this.

  • Virgin Atlantic is the airline and I would be happy with a credit voucher, just concerned if I asked for one, if I would lose my protection via my credit card.

    I think it would be better to ask your card company, how they would be dealing with these.
