Prepaid Mastercard No Loading or Purchase Charges (Works with Ryanair)

Kotek, when you used the card in the Tesco store, did the card reader not require you to punch in a PIN number (I thought with credit/debit cards you always needed a PIN no.)?

No, there's no chip in the Perfect Card. Have to sign, old fashioned way.

The Wirecard route is a little more complicated than just going into a shop and buying a card.

You can go into a shop and buy the Mastercard Payzone card.

How'd ye get on?

I was going to buy one at the local shopping centre but they charge €2 admin fee. No one has mentioned this so far, can people confirm they were charged this extra fee?

Nope no admin fee with the Dublin city centre card, hand over €50 and you get a card with €50 on it etc...

Glad all are finding this BA useful..... on another note must be nearly 12 weeks since the last 1cent ryanair seat sale .. hope were due one soon - need to stock up on my gatwick returns !!

I have to book about 40 flights soon. They will cost approximately 100 euro each. I used to use a visa electron on entropay but they have loading expenses and of course visa electrons are no longer free.

Could I just go to dundrum with 4,000 and lodge it to a prepaid mastercard? I just dont want to be walking around with the cash. Or is it pointless trying to save the money?

Kevin!

does the dundrum one work, I've got a couple from christmas?

Another question. Does the prepaid card from white water centre in newbridge work?

well?

I can confirm that the dundrum card works with online transactions, woop


only thing is, can't be linked to paypal as it says the billing address is wrong but normal internet transactions work

Fantastic news Kevin! Do you just put in your own address and your own name as the card holder?

Yeah, no problems at all

I ordered from cracowtours.pl, which worked

and victoriasecret.com also works, so it must be universal which is great

Mr Trade In

Does anyone know if the Jervis SC card can be used to buy $PSN cards online.

Paul Tergat

I went into Jervis today lads, bought one of the prepaid mastercards and put €20 on it.

Booked 2 flights on the €5 offer at the moment and was not charged any of the card fees so you can just go into ticketmaster and pick these up.

snubbleste

Can you just clarify, is it a Jervis St Shopping Centre card?
Who issued the card, was it perfectcard, payzone?
and the first four digits of the card number

Sure,

What I did was went into the Jervis St Shopping Centre. If ya go in at the entrance where the Luas leaves ya then just get the escalator upstairs and at the top there is a ticketmaster. They are advertising a blue prepaid mastercard with a picture of the ha'penny bridge on it (its this one here: http://www.thisismydublin.com/home/give-the-gift-of-dublin-city-centre-this-christmas/ )

I asked for €20 to be put on it and also if it works with ryanair as a means of avoiding fees and the guy said yes. I bought it took it home and booked the flights with no fees.

Think you can only load euro 150 on it. You can load € 2,500 on the Payzone Worldwide Money Card once registered online, if you upgrade you can load € 15,000

So say u buy the card with €50 initially and buys flights costing only €20. U now have €30 left. Is there a way to top this back up to €50 again easily if you want to buy more flights?

Cheers,

I spent the last 2 years trying to get a bloody VISA ELECTRON, eventually i got one int the UK post office last November, used it for 1 flight without fees. And then the bloody ?"%K#&S Ryanair move the goal posts. :mad::mad:

Thanks for the Mastercard info though, i already have a Mastercard from the Credit Union, if that doesnt work i will get a Jervis one next time i am in Dublin. :):)

Guys just be careful with the payzone card. €6 to buy it, They charge you €3.50 to load it for what ever amount and now retailers are charging a surcharge to load it. To put €20 on my card today it cost me €23.90 almost 25% of the value. and payzone also charge a small percentage for every time you use your card.

3v dosn't charge any top up for €20. and €2.50 after that up to a certain point.

The only attraction of payzone is for Ryanair flights and nothing else

I used wirecard to pay for my flights on Monday and my flight is not yet available under the "manage my booking" section of the RyanAir website.
I note that no money has yet been taken from my wirecard account.

Does anyone know how long between making a payment on the RyanAir website and the deduction hits the Wirecard on-line account?
I'm assuming this is why I cannot see my travel booking?

It should show that the money is reserved on the wirecard account but takes a few days to leave the account.

I can confirm that the Dundrum perfectcards (gift cards) work for ryanair. You can lodge a maximum of €1,000 on the cards with no fee. I booked 84 flights on several cards, and i saved €420 in fees. They had no issue with me walking in and buying €3,400 worth of cards. I was booking for a group of 42 incase anyone is wondering!

I think I'l get this. I've been trying to confirm my neteller card for two weeks, they keep telling me they have to phone me and can they do so in next 2 hours, i say yes and they never phone. i've given them my documents etc already. When I get into their chat service they say I didn't answer and can they try again....and so on.

Anyone else have this problem?

I think I'll just get a dundrum card, bit of a hassle compared to having a loadable card but this neteller business is annoying.

Guys just 2 quick question regarding Dublin City Gift Card.

1) Did anyone try booking ryanair flights quoted in different than EUR currency? I only need to book one way ticket from Oslo-Dublin that cost 300 NOK. Do you think the card will work on 'no EUR' route?

2) If I will be left with some balance on card, e.g 8.47 EUR can I spend it in Tesco for example? Is that card working in regular shops in Dublin?

Cheers.
