Gamewatchers-how to pay
 
I am about to put down a deposit on a safari through Gamewatchers. My question is do I pay through credit card or wire transfer? I hate paying the fee they charge for credit card but I'm concerned about wiring that amount of money. Advice please?

I wouldn't think twice about paying with credit card and incurring a fee. I'm always relieved when given that option. I think of it as insurance. If anything happens, your cc company will pursue resolution on your behalf. Do it for peace of mind. Worth it.

Personally I would only pay with a credit card for same reasons as above comment. I think Gamewatchers is a reputable company.

Credit card + % fee (on amount being charged) or Wire Transfer + fee.

Wire transfers also cost, on average about $40 for international (varies by financial institution) each for deposit and then final payment. Am sure wire will come out less.

But, many prefer the security of plastic.

Also, you get points for FF miles or similar if you use that sort of credit card. I did exactly that when paying for my last safari and the next one coming up which is also with Gamewatchers.

Thank you all! Credit Card it is.
