Paid Deposit with Debit Card Instead of Credit Card.

I pay for all of my holidays with my credit card however I booked a holiday over the phone and realised I'd done it with my debit card. I've only paid the deposit so far - best to pay the rest with a credit card for protection?

    Depends what exactly you've booked and who with.  You may find you have another protection (i.e ATOL if it's a proper package).

    Section 75 is good protection though so would be worth paying the balance with a credit card.  You may be able to pay off part of the balance now on your credit card if you really wanted the protection ASAP.

    It's with TUI and so is ATOL protected.

    It's an AI package.

    ATOL gives you full financial protection in the event TUI were to fail.
