Have booked flights and hotels through them in the past (but never together as a "deal") and had no problems.
Can't help you wish the deposit thing, we pay everything up front.

3. PAYMENT:

For bookings made more than 56 days (8 weeks) before the departure date you will have the choice to take one of the following payment arrangements:

i) Full payment
The full amount for the holiday and any ancillary items chosen will be debited immediately from the debit or credit card supplied by you.
ii) A deposit payment of £75 per person
A non-refundable deposit payment of £75 per person (excluding infants, which children under the age of 2 years are considered to be) will be debited immediately from the debit or credit card supplied by you. The balance payment must be received by us in cleared funds no later than 56 days (8 weeks) before the departure date. Note: If the deposit option is chosen and the full balance is not received by us in cleared funds by the balance due date, we will notify the principal(s) or supplier(s) who may cancel your booking and charge the cancellation fees set out in their Terms and Conditions. Any additional costs and charges imposed by them will be passed on to you, plus our administration charges as set out in Paragraph 4. "Cleared funds" are payments that have been confirmed to us by the bank. For debit or credit card payments funds may take up to 3 working days to clear from the date of the transaction. For cheque payments funds may take up to 5 working days to clear from the date the cheque has been received by us. Please leave enough time before your balance due date for the funds to clear. If your booking is cancelled as a result of the balance not being paid by the balance due date, the deposit paid will not be refunded.
For bookings made within 56 days (8 weeks) of the departure date, the full amount of the holiday and any ancillary items chosen will be debited immediately from the debit or credit card supplied by you.

We accept payments by Credit Card (including American Express), Debit Card, and Cheque. All transactions paid on Visa & MasterCard will be subject to a 2% surcharge. American Express will be subject to a 3% surcharge. Debit Cards and Cheques do not carry a charge.

In the event that we incur bank charges as a result of a cheque being stopped or marked "Refer to Drawer", we reserve the right to pass these charges on to you, together with an administration fee of £10 per transaction.

If contradicting payment terms are shown in the Tour Operator's Terms and Conditions, the payment terms in this paragraph shall take precedence.

4. CANCELLATION AND AMENDMENT:

Hi,
I booked a flight and hotel with them last week. The full cost was just over £3000 and I could either pay in full or leave a balance of about £820 to be paid in May for our June holiday.

I went via topcashback and it tracked £158 cashback. Never used them before but more pennys to spend sounds good to me

Very impressed with Expedia as they e-mailed our itinery and confirmation the next day and I could log onto ' manage your booking' with Virgin. They also e-mailed an Atol cetificate.
