Final payment for trail riding.

[Nick__C]

Hi all, all unsure where exactly this should go so sorry if this is the wrong section and feel free to move!

Anyway basically I need to make the final payment on a trail riding trip in September for my brother and I, the company (TrailWorld UK/Spain) don't accept credit cards and have asked for a bank transfer or alternatively a paypal payment. My dad intended to pay by credit card and us pay him back, this way we would have some buyer protection in case anything went wrong, if he makes a paypal payment using a credit card will that buyer protection still apply?

Thanks, Nick.

Do you know from experience or just point blank it applies to any credit card payment?

if this is final payment how were the other payments made?

Maybe a quick call to the actual credit card company for clarification? Or maybe a look at or post on something like moneysavingexpert site?

as you are using your credit card, the cover is provided by the bank...... only aware of this as had a chargeback on a paypal payment made to me, paypal where unable to dispute it as the bank just acted on behalf of the user

Seems very odd they don't accept credit card payments.

How sure are you they're legit and this trail holiday exists, not to sound too paranoid

Have you got evidence of the payments made to date in any form from them

I guess if there seems to be a fair bit of stuff on youtube with people youve contacted who definately aren't just 1 post 1 video accounts set up by mr-fake-holidays etc then its probably legit, maybe try drag payment out the the last minute to give you as much time to get the paypal claim going through on time should anything fall through later down the line

I do think it's legit tbh, I've seen a thread online about them the UK HQ being hit with a theft and someone actually references the people who run TW Spain..

Not too concerned about the time elapsed because it looks like the payment is ineligible for paypals protection so we'd be relying on the credit card protection..

I also get Broomhills when I google map it, however that race track/ small circuit to the left looks very much like one I've seen in a youtube video lol...

ring credit card company and explain the recipient doesn't have a card machine and ask if they can send you a cheque book for the credit card in question, then write them a cheque

Even if you just pay £1 by credit card via paypal you are covered for the FULL amount by your card. So says that Geek for finance.

It's not that odd for overseas companies not to take cards. My boss had to transfer the balance of his skiing holiday for the same reason and he couldn't find a single one that took cards.

It does seem to be restricted to just family run or single owner type businesses though. I had no problem phoning Alpinestars HQ in Italy and making a CC payment over the phone. I had actually rehearsed some Italian to make the payment but the person answered the phone in perfect English and transferred me to the accounts dept. who again spoke perfect English. I actually felt slightly cheated.
