    Hi all!
    Im new!

    I have heard that you can avoid booking (admin) fees €5 each way with Ryanair if you use a prepaid mastercard.

    And i was wondering if any of you guys knew if the multicentre gift vouchers, which are essentially prepaid mastercards, will work when shopping online!!!

    Be grateful for your help! Im a student and am looking into summer holidays at cheapest possible price!

    Cheers! :)

    I think I've read on here somewhere that they do but I've no personal experience of using one. There's a thread or two on here about it which should give you some further info.

    Multicentre gift cards do NOT work for booking Ryanair flights even though they are a "prepaid MasterCard". This is despite it saying on the back of the card "This gift card may be used at any retailer that accepts MasterCard cards in the following Shopping Centres ... and anywhere else MasterCard cards are accepted." This is not true.

    I have yet to find an online retailer that will accept this card. I have also been into SuperQuinn. They won't accept it either.

    Getting a refund is a total pain. www.rgfinancial.eu (Operators of the Multicentre card) refer you to the S.C. you bought the card in. You go there and they refer you to rgfinancial. All in all another totally unsatisfctory demonstration of good customer service in Ireland.

    There is also an €8 fee to get a refund on the card even if it's less than 3 hours since you originally purchased the card and subsequently discovered it doesn't work online!

    This is just my two cents but in future I will go for the Dundrum Card operated by www.perfectcard.ie This HAS worked online before for me. I haven't tried it on Ryanair though. I urge the shopping centres operating the MultiCentre card from RG Financial to move towards the Mastercard from PerfectCard.

    1. Your Prepaid MasterCard® Card

    You can use the Prepaid Card / E-Money Account at any location that displays the MasterCard® acceptance mark, including shops, restaurants, online, or on the telephone. You can also use your Prepaid Card overseas

    Going by the experience I've had with this card. The above is not true.

    If this is the case (that it cant be used at locations that display the mastercard symbol) is this reason to demand a refund? As it does not do what its meant to (i've already had it rejected at a place that accepts mastercard).

    Or is it likely that if i went to Dundrum SC with this card i would be able to use it to buy a perfectcard?
