    Yep, you can get a virtual card for just online purchases or you can get a physical card. There is no charge for the physical card and it is not liable for Irish Gov Levy.

    Note that Ryanair do not recognise the the virtual cards as eligible pre-paid mastercards and will apply their usual €5 per flight fee but they do recognise the physical cards and no fee applies.

    Is there a cooling off period for the PayZone card? Can you just cancel and get all of your money back?



    To be honest I don't know if there is a cooling off period or what not.

    I only bought the card, I haven't actually topped it up with any money or registered or anything.

    Throw it in the bin or give it to someone you don't like. :)

    There's a lot of talk here about linking the prepaid master card with your paypal account. In fact using a prepaid master card with paypal is a very bad idea.

    - As far as I know you cannot do chargebacks with prepaid cards - unlike a credit card. I've had to do chargebacks through paypal for some transactions where buyer protection doesn't apply / buyer protection claim was disallowed.

    - In many cases there is a loading fee to the prepaid master card. Why not pay for goods with the credit card directly with paypal - cut out the middleman and pay no loading fees.

    The ONLY reason I would get the prepaid master card is to save with Ryanair flights.

    Anyone know where these cards can be bought physically in Cork? And Bond 007, I think if you buy online, Ryanair doesn't waive the charges?

    Where did you hear this? how would Ryanair know if you bought it online or in a shop? On their site it says:
    Tuesday, December 01, 2009: Ryanair accepts Payzone Worldwide Money as a free form of payment. No administration fee is levied when you book your Ryanair flights online. Save €10 per return flight. by selecting "MASTERCARD PREPAID" when you purchase your flight.

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

    Just rang them there, they don't. What they have is a mastercard debit card but you can't buy this as a one-off purchase.

    I actually read it somewhere else on boards, so no idea if it is correct unfortunately.

    You can't use online only cards but you can use physical ones that you bought online.

    only had a quick read through this thread so open to correction here:

    from what i have read there is no way to buy a online only card and use it to buy ryanair flights you have to have a physical card?

    is this correct?

    thanks

    EDIT: Can you still do the thing where you buy gift vouchers and use them to pay for the flights?

    Is there any prepaid Mastercard that I can buy using Paypal? I have some funds sitting in my Paypal account and would like to use this to buy or fund a card which works with Ryanair.

    I ordered the physical card online for €6 and it arrived today. I received a "One-Time Loading Card" and a "Payzone Mastercard". Haven't had a chance to read all the info yet but I'm sure I can book Ryanair flights with it.
    Not sure about the gift vouchers.

    They always have them, there is a kiosk near the customer service desk, it's on 2 or 2m take the stairs near the sony store.

    You can get the gift card for any amount, just get what you need for the flights so you aren't left with a couple of euro on the card. And KEEP THE CARD even if you used all of the credit, if there is a refund for any reason it will go back on the card.
