I needed to pay the annual premium with a new card

I needed to pay the annual premium with a new card but the online route failed as it wasn't clear where to change the card details. So I tried the chatline and I didn't really get an answer. So last resort I decided to ring up to pay but I couldn't find a telephone number. Therefore I went onto the chat again and asked for a phone number. And next day I received an email reply with the phone number. I rang it and processed the premium payment over the phone quite easily.

Hi John, thanks for leaving us a review.

I have had a look into this for you and can see we have had no contact from you so far in 2026 regarding your policy, there has been no request for a cancellation or a refund, so this hasn't been confirmed or denied. 

You are within your cooling-off period currently so if you get in touch with us, we can have a further look into this and sort a refund out. 

Thank you for understanding and if you’d like to discuss your experience further or need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us here: https://help.golfcare.co.uk/hc/en-gb/requests/new

We’d be more than happy to help.

Kind regards,
The Golfcare Team
