    Fragrance Direct website states that they accept Maestro here. Play.com also lists along the bottom of their webpages that they accept Maestro.

    Been onto AIB / Laser about it numerous times... they told me something like Maestro in England is the replacement for Switch cards so they don't recognise our cards.

    More or less - England Maestro differs from Irish Maestro.

    Pile of shee-yat if you ask me! :mad:

    PS - thread needs to be cleaned up a bit.. i reckon!

    Yes, Basquille's right, uk laser cards are different, i was trying to www.amazon.co.uk and www.sendit.com, aib said that uk maestros are more 'advanced' than roi ones as the can be used on irish sits as well as their own.
    aib also said that irish cards will probably be enable when the uk sites are updated, this is probably bullsh** and she was lieing to stop me being pissed-off.

    i know it sucks, but hey, Welcome to Ireland....

    Annoying since I emailed Amazon and they said to phone up and give my card details... but it doesn't work that way either.
    But I've used it successfully (in person) in the US as a debit card.

    Basquille could you go to thw effort of editing your first post with a link to each site mentioned, it would go a long way towards making this thread stick.

    I don't think so - I've used my AIB Maestro/Laser at a POS in Waterstones in the UK (London I think)

    Talked to AIB about this today. He said that a UK Maestro card is different to an Irish one, absolutely ridiculous considering the whole purpose of Maestro is to have a standard card world wide. Since my card doesn't have a CV2 number on the back, I can't make any purchases online with it.

    So yea, we've all got glorified ATM cards.

    edit: not being entirely clear here. Using an Irish Maestro card for an internet payment is pointless. However, if you have a Laser card, that'll work.

    Yes, Raskol you're right. but I was buying from www.cdwow.ie and
    when I was paying, there was a message at the bottom of the sceen
    which read sometining like: 'some cards donot have CV2 numbers so just enter the digits '999' into the CV2 box'.---I havn't tried it yet but worth a try
    but all the sites i've seen the CV2 number req. on also req. the start date
    which we don't have.


    Also- what do you mean 'If we should have a laser card that'll work'.

    I thought a maestro is a laser, so it should work?

    And how much would a laser card cost. 'cause i'd like nothing more than to buy from overseas eg. US,Uk-these are so much cheaper than Ireland.:mad:
    Thanks...

    Isn't it international internet transactions that the irish version of Maestro can't handle? I would have assumed online irish sites are OK.

    You might want to check the thread "Maestro debit card- No Irish please?" in the Banking, Borrowing, Budgeting and Credit Cards forum on
    http://www.askaboutmoney.com/

    Yes.. there's an online Irish pharmacy - NaturesWay.ie that accepts Irish Maestro cards without problem.

    It is international transactions - or more specifically the British version of Maestro which is incompatible with our Maestro.

    Can you explain this further - I've never seen laser listed as a payment method for international internet transactions.

    BangCD (based in singapore) accept laser.

    Whats confusing people is that Maestro is both an umbrella organisation for mutually accepting debit and atm cards abroad, and also a specific Debit card in the UK that was formerly known as switch.

    Therefore when most internet sites say they accept Maestro, they really mean the card formerly known as Switch, not any old debit card with the Maestro symbol on it.

    At least thats how I understand it.

    Dumb branding imo.
