I didn’t respond as some kind of Chards fanboy- I rarely buy from Chards, but I do know this, as dealers go, there isn’t many surpass their guides and knowledge base- particularly their ‘old site’, which @LawrenceChardused to maintain (I’m not sure if all that content has been migrated over?). 

I haven’t a clue what mark-up the average large bullion dealer makes on say, £2k’s worth of bullion Sovereigns- but I’m guessing the margins are tight, and I guess Chards have thought long and hard of their business model, and decide on payments methods accordingly.
You’re a winner, you saved by purchasing elsewhere and gained the knowledge they offered you for free. 

Thank you to @QuantumStacker
Lovely low mintage 5 Sovereign.
