Credit / Debit card protection

I was on the phone to Barclay's this evening and the man was trying to sell me credit/debit card protection. He said that with it I would be covered in cass of loss/and fraudulent use etc.

I thought all card gave free protection against lose etc if you reported it as soon as you knew.

My question is Do we need card protection for Loss and fraud etc.

    You do NOT need it unless you can't manage to report lost/stolen cc by yourself.

    Consumer protection are the same, with or without Card Protection Plan.
