Thomas Cook Vouchers? Get Them Spent..!
« on: November 24, 2011, 09:53:18 AM »
Interesting advice from the BBC this morning, in the shadow of the teetering giant Thomas Cook. It's actually hard to find a method of payment for flights/holidays where you don't have cover in event of airport failure in one way or another - but one exception is holiday vouchers - often given as wedding presents and the like.

If Thomas Cook go bust (and there is a chance of that), your vouchers are worthless. If you go spend them this afternoon or as soon as possible - on flights or holidays - you would get all your money back if things go pop.

Worth sharing.

If you are just about to book something with TC then I suppose you could buy vouchers with a credit card & use them to pay the bill so you're covered in case of failure, would that make sense?
