One4All Voucher To Pay For Flights

gaillimh

Hi.
Just wondering if anyone had up to date info on paying for flights via one4all vouchers?
I have a €500 voucher and looking to pay for flights using this (flights are roughly €500 also).

I know from what I read before that there used to be an option to purchase a Prepaid Visa Electron card with your voucher & then use that to pay for flights with Ryanair or Aer Lingus.
Does anybody know if this still works or has that been stopped?
It was 3-4 years ago that I read about this so just want to be sure it still works before pulling the trigger on it.
Thanks very much

I thought the limit for most pre-paid credit cards was €100.

But only one or two accept One4all and they have a limit of €100 AFAIK.

Send your One4all card back to one4all and they will either post you a cheque or transfer it into your bank account. There is an €8 charge so you’d get 492.00. Doesn’t work if it’s a corporate account that bought it. That’s what I’ve done with my yearly €500 one4all’s that I get off work. Use the money to book the canaries for a week or something I’d really enjoy

Wow is that a well known option?

I’d highly doubt it. Last year I got the money back within a week. Go onto their website, go to the help section and send them s mail. They reply very quick. They’d be closed today but you’ll get a reply early tmor. Great service and the boss will never know

Never Say Never Again

The way i did it a few years ago is i used a travel agency who took the one4all card to book flights. I don't know if any travel agencys still take the card or even if many travel agencys still exist.

Cassidy Travel does accept then.

I have used them a few times to book flights with them, with a voucher.

But, lets say, your flight online cost 500, they might charge you 540

Anyone used the Virtual prepaid Mastercard described below?
All I'm reading suggests that this will work fine to book flights with Ryanair but as ever I'd always be wary until it actually goes through succesfully.
It seems topping up by €400 would cost €432 of the One4all voucher.

€100 is the maximum you can load onto these particular cards. See the T&Cs.

Ah I see. I had been looking at the UK terms and conditions I think.
You can load more than 100 in the Uk.
Back to the drawing board so.

Do you know anyone planning to make a purchase of €500 or more from somewhere that accepts O4A vouchers e.g. Power City, DID, B&Q ? Spread the word amongst family, friends & work colleagues. You’d never know, someone may give you cash for it.
