Christmas Bargains/Reductions

I'm very tempted by an online offer from a company in the Rewarding Times offers via the Irish Times. Obviously you pay now and avail of the offer in 2021. Anyone know what would happen if company went wallop in the meantime - I know there might be a chance of a chargeback on a credit card but is there any other option, I wonder? A few hundred euro in question.

I think if you can pay by paypal that's more secure again and a better chance of a refund.

However remember if a company does goes bust prepaid customers are UNSECURED creditors and are usually the last to ever receive any money, and once the auditors and tax man are paid, it's onto creditors and then customers. And if they had enough money to pay the tax man and creditors well they wouldn't go bust.

Was a little bit of freezable stuff but the most they had were desserts (not freezable). Worth calling in for a look if you are passing.

Our artificial tree is on its last legs (lost 2 branches putting it up this year, and it sheds everywhere) so it will be going in the bin as soon as we take the decorations down. I'm hoping it might be possible to pick up a decent one in an end of year clearance sale somewhere (click and collect or online). Any ideas for where to look?
