Have used a DEBIT card from Bishopstown Credit Union and have not had to pay booking charge.
That sucks. It would have been great to have a real, plastic card available here in Ireland that works with Ryanair.
Mastercard and Visa both have lots of different cards on offer. For example, besides Visa (the credit card) and Visa Electron (the debit card), there always also was a separate Visa Debit. I guess the same is happening with Mastercard here. There is a Mastercard credit card, a Mastercard Prepaid debit card and then another type of debit card, the one Bishopstown CU offer, that is not called "Mastercard Prepaid" and thus incurs charges.
I transferred money from my B/I ac on thursday afternoon and I just got an email from Neteller to say my credit had arrived but I had checked my account at about 4pm and it had not arrived but it obviously arrived in my account some time in the past 2 hours! I think you need to have a credit of 200 to 300 at least so that you can book flights when you see the cheap ones immediately.
For Ryanair, the correct card right now is a a MasterCard Prepaid. For Aer Lingus, it is still Visa Electron. So a Neteller card will not help you here... you could get a virtual Entropay card (it has to be in Sterling to work as Visa Electron though).
just want to check if my Aussie issued Mastercard prepaid card [...]will work on Ryan air.
