hippy-
Essentially being offered store credit to a store with questionable longevity is probably edging towards dick move, but I had the same reaction initially. My only experience of chargebacks is on the vendor side where you get stung with a fee and accused of fraud. I've had a customer do that because they changed their mind and wanted to cancel their (already shipped) order. Took ages to sort out.

How so? It's your money, they've not provided you with the service you paid for and as you said, they're effectively giving you a coupon instead of a refund.
As you note, it's likely they'll go into administration by the time you could redeem your flights, by which time it may be too late to do a chargeback anyway... Seems daft not to use the consumer protection your credit card gives you to protect yourself-it's not like the receivers will be giving full refunds unless obligated by similar card protection/ATOL provisions anyway.

If you paid by credit card just call your bank and get them to do a chargeback now, saves any fucking about.
