Hey...when you buy something, it is a contract, whether you have the contract written or oral.
So when you are on a plane, and you say, I want to offer you $3 for a teeney bottle of rum, and the pretty flight attendant lady or gentleman says, well, we will offer you the rum at the cost of $3.50 and you shall pay by credit card, then that is the start of a contract. If you agree and pay via credit card, you have agreed to the terms of the contract and when you get your rum, the contract has been fulfilled by both parties.
If you decline to pay by credit card, the contract is null and void, becuase it lacked agreement by both parties.
Contract = 1. offer and acceptance, 2. consideration, and 3. an intention to create legal relations.
airline offers you rum for $3.50 to be paid by credit card...and you have option to accept or decline the offer.
debt is only obtained if the airline gives you the rum, and u consume it without paying. So i am afraid you have to pay by credit card to get that rum, my friend.
