“So rude! And requested photocopies of credit cards”

Written on: 16/06/2012

I have booked with the flight wizards, 1st of all i was booked on a cathay pacific flight, then i had a call the next day saying cathay had cancelled my booking (cathay said they hadnt, it was the travel agent), the flight wizards were insisting i had to travel a different date as there were no flights, i refused and insisted on a refund, then all of a sudden they found flights with Qatar. Then the next day they tell me they want a photocopy of my boyfriend's credit card front and back and a signed form before they will release the tickets even though payment has gone through - have spoken to Trading Standards, his bank, Citizen's Advice who all advised do not send this form and photocopy. The Flight Wizards are now saying unless he sends it then my flight will be cancelled and i will receive no money (the flight was £820). I'm in an awful situation, and the agents on the phone are extremely rude! I would not book with them, and certainly would never recommend them!!!

well, they can be right by doing so because your case is a case of third party payment....who knows, may be you are trying to do some fraud!

His bank and trading standards have explained this is not standard procedure and have advised not to send the copies. "Under no circumstances should you supply the photocopies of your credit card, as this is opening yourself up to credit card fraud, they have other ways of verifying payments."
