MasterCard Canada's Advice to Canadians Who Purchased Zoom Airlines Tickets with Their MasterCard Card

    TORONTO, Aug. 28 /CNW/ - MasterCard Canada is advising Canadians who
purchased Zoom Airlines tickets with their MasterCard card and who are unable
to obtain a refund or a replacement ticket for flights cancelled in connection
with Zoom Airlines ceasing operations to contact their card issuers.
    It is the general policy that if you do not receive the goods or services
you purchased with your MasterCard credit card then you're entitled to a
refund of those funds. It is important to gather all the information -
receipts, copies of tickets, etc. - and contact your card issuer as early as
possible so your issuer can review your situation on an individual basis. This
is a prime example of one of the important purchase protections offered by
MasterCard card issuers.
