Will my credit card cover me for hotel cost even if they state non refundable due to coronavirus

  • No.  It gives you the same rights as with the retailer.          

    Your insurance would be the place to go.

    It depends on the situation. If you have changed your mind / can’t get there due to travel restrictions then it’s your issue and no refund is due. 
    Frankly, anyone booking non-refundable rooms during a pandemic is asking for trouble! 

    If they have physically cancelled the booking, then a refund is due.
    Which is it? 

  • My granddaughter & I had to cancel coach trip with National holidays because of relative's positive covid test & had been told to self isolate by the NHS.
    National says we should have gone on the trip & can't claim as neither of us had covid!
    Anyone else had this problem?
  • If you have decent insurance and have evidence of the demand to self isolate, that may be the best bet
