    Does it work to bypass Ryanair CC charges?????


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators Posts: 6,161 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sheep Shagger


    can't see it anywhere on the site, do you get a pysical plastic card or do you just use a card number generated on the website.

    I see transfers from Laser are free which is handy.

    If its easier to apply/activate than Neteller then this may just be better than Entropay.


  • Registered Users Posts: 187 ✭✭rubicon99


    sounds like a good deal, will check it out.

    Would this work when paying on Ryanair? Think it's no charge when paying with Prepaid Mastercard

    There is no info on the site anywhere, but if you log into your account (with residence in Ireland or the UK) you will get an offer to apply for it.

    You need to upload a scan of your id and might also be asked to provide proof of address.

    You get a phyical card issued by Newcastle Building Society which most likley will mean (based on other experience) that it's coded as "prepaid" and allows you to avoid the Ryanair Charge.

    Moneybookers are cheaper than rubycard, payzone etc. as you can load it for free from your laser card or bank account (to a bank account in Ireland) and from my experience the customer service (while slow) is good.

    found this on another website...

    "received my card from moneybookers and used it for flights and guess what...it worked...."

    Do you need to pay the government stamp duty with these cards?


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre


    Bah, you have to scan and send them your proof of id.. pain in the tits.

    It states there is a 10e yearly charge for having the card.
    Doesn't mention anything about governement stamp duty. Dunno...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    sounds like too much effort, when you can just walk into the Dundrum or Blanch centres and get one


  • Registered Users Posts: 24 wildwest


    The card costs 10 Euro a year but they dont tell you this until after you have uploaded your ID so I sent them a email to cancel it I allready have the Neteller card for free so not much point in paying 10 Euro for something I might never use.Their transaction fees seem to be less than Neteller so if you use them a lot you might make up the 10 Euro a year fees.

    It states it very clearly on the information page under 'fees'.
    I haven't signed up and I've read about it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,351 ✭✭✭Gadgetman496


    What's the difference between them and THIS?

  • Registered Users Posts: 24 wildwest


    Yes I seen that afterwards but there is no mention of it on the main page where you go to sign up its a bit sly if you ask me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,060 ✭✭✭darkmaster2

    -

    For one, you can top it up without loading fees (laser, bank transfer).

    Not really. There seems to be a 10 euro application fee too that's not on the fees page

    I seriously can't understand how people are giving out about not knowing what the fee's are.

    Before you can apply for the card (i.e. upload your identification) it says clearly "The Moneybookers MasterCard application fee is EUR 10.00 , please ensure you have these funds available in your account to continue with your application."

    On the same page where the application is there is a large breakout of FAQ, Fees and Limit and the Terms and conditions.

    In fact all info one needs is on single page, one just need to click on the headline to get all the info.

    There is an annual fee of 10€ (no stamp duty as this is a UK issued card), a card replacement fee of 10€, a cash withdraw fee of 1.80€ (max 250€ withdraw daily) and a currency conversion fee of 1.99%.

    Loading via Lasercard or bank transfer is free, credit/debits card loads are 1.9%. Withdrays to your bank account or a visa card are 1.80€.

    Neteller cards are free, cash withdraws are 4€, the currency conversion fee is 2.95%. Load via bank accounts are free, credit cards are 1.75%. Withdrawing money to your bank account is 7.50€.

    So it really depends on what you want to do with the card.

    If you read the first couple of pages, you would have found the answer to your question.. but i'll save you having to do that :)
    Its free to use the card for purchasing ryanair flights.
    And you can topup your moneybookers account using your laser for free.

    The monkeybookers card costs 10 euro per annum.
    (monkeybookers was a typo, but decided to leave it, as its got a little ring to it!!)

    Has anyone done a transfer from their laser card. . is it immediate?

    No its not, ive had a moneybookers account for 1 year+ , it takes 24 hours to verify your account through a scanned passport. Simple.


  • Registered Users Posts: 270 ✭✭zbluebirdz


    I noticed there is a spending limit of €1,000 per day.

    If your balance is €2,300, do they still enforce the limit of €1,000?

    What if you wanted to buy/pay for something online that cost €2,000 - is it still possible to use the card?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,509 ✭✭✭Tiesto
