“Modern life uses mass amounts of electricity on a daily basis. In fact, virtually everything about how we live, commute, communicate, and work is implanted with vast quantities of energy. It is also being used in currency through Bitcoin. Bitcoin uses so much energy that people are concerned it might further promote global warming. These concerns are distracting from the more severe problems, which is that in many countries people don’t have enough electricity to power a refrigerator.

A research team calculated the energy consumption for bitcoin at about 48 TWh per year. That is more than used by 3 million Americans in a year. This was further supported by the International Energy Agency; a French intergovernmental group considered an authority on energy policing in the world.”

Many train users face frequent delays. There are no guarantees when it comes to refunds, but our guide explains how to submit a claim for a refund to your credit card provider.

Instructions:

Step1: Start by getting a written record of the delays you have experienced during the period you are claiming for.

Step 2: Next, think about what's a reasonable amount to ask for. If you have been delayed on half of your journeys you would be looking for 50% back. If the delays were less than that, the claim is likely to be less too.

Step 3: Contact your credit card provider to ask for the relevant claim form.

Step 4: Get all of your evidence in one place, fill in the form and submit it to the credit card company.

Step 5: If your claim is unsuccessful, you can appeal. If you have a season ticket, the process is different (see our separate guide).

*You must have tried to claim directly from the train company before you attempt to claim from the credit card provider.
