Shoppers: know your rights this Christmas

Time moves on so quickly and now here we are again – it’s the month when many people are focused on their Christmas shopping. So what better time for shoppers to brush up on their rights, be wary of scammers and consider the best credit card deals to make their cash go a little further.

Know your rights on returns

There may have been some impulse buys on Black Friday – and anyone can change their mind. So it’s good to know that shoppers will have around 30 days to return an item for a refund or store credit. It’s important to check the returns policy of the store at the point of purchase to make sure you don’t miss the deadline, or you could be wasting your cash when you think you snapped up a bargain.

Not everyone will be brave enough to approach their retailer for a refund but this could be because they were let down in the past.
