    credit card is protected. if they go bust you can get a chargeback on the card for what you have paid. Its classed as goods not recieved.

    The recent 1800hotels crash got me as i booked with them but have applied for a chargeback and going by other posters on boards its been really quick, as in a few days for me.

    I have set the limit on my card to €2000 though and i need to pay over 6. Presume they won't cover any loading I put on it to have it in credit.

    They wouldn't cover it if the card was stolen and used fraudulently. There is a difference between that and covering you if you put it in credit and make a payment :)
