    I'm looking to purchase 6 flights and I'm a little concerned about paying for all the flights on my own credit card as I think there may be possible issues with any section 75 claim, or possibly an insurance claim, should it be necessary.

    This is what travel insurance is for.  Relying on S75 is not prudent.

    It's not an either/or situation - paying by card does offer additional protection over and above what typical travel insurance will cover (airline failure is often sold as an add-on), and most insurers will only pay out costs that couldn't be recovered via other means anyway.

    In any case, OP already made it clear that they have travel insurance so weren't seeking to rely on s75 instead....
