Whereas the object must be between 100 and 30,000 pounds, you do not have to buy everything on the card.

Indeed, if you are paying for part of the card, even one cent, the card issuer is responsible for the whole amount. Cardholder is held responsible by the card issuer, so you can go to both the card issuer and the merchant.

Since you have exactly the same privileges as the card issuer, you can even decide to go to them if the goods are defective, and not just for want of them.
