Ryanair to start charging for use of prepaid cards

From the 1st November it seems Ryanair intends to charge £6 per flight per passenger for paying by any card online.

That amounts to a charge of £24 for two people booking a return trip.

The airline has announced that it will provide reimbursement in the form of £6 travel voucher(s) if they use the Ryanair Cash Passport card which is a prepaid card type.

See the Ryanair article here:

How to avoid premium phone charges and mobile charges to 0800 numbers

With so many companies using premium rate telephone numbers, and keeping you holding for an eternity, here are a couple of ways to avoid a hefty phone bill:

Use alternative telephone numbers
Visit www.saynoto0870.com where you can enter the name of the company you’re calling and you’ll be given alternative numbers to use.

Use a re-route app on iPhone or Android smart phone
Mobile providers charge up to 41p per minute – even on 0800 ‘free-phone’ numbers.
Download the 0800Wizard app from Skycom Ltd which reroutes your 0800 number via a landline.
