Came to renew the car tax last week and the credit card is near limit.

Don't like using debit card on-line due to (perceived) lack of
protection against fraud etc.

But you'd have been happy to use credit card online...?

Why not just go down the post office...?

Happier using credit card than debit card due to higher levels of
insurance/fraud prevention protection.

They come into play if a purchase turns out to be iffy. The fraud
protection would be pretty much the same in a case like this.

Either way, so long as you don't do something daft using a fake website
or fake number, the risk is minimal.

Going down the post office involves surgical removal of an appendage....
the settee!

Poor lamb!

Not sure how long the Post Offices will still be involved now there are
no paper disks to be issued.

I don't believe there's any plans to stop. There'd be an outcry if they
did. If they were going to, they'd have done it in October. But, if
you're worried about it, more reason to do it over the counter now, to
show that customers do still want it.
