CCOVICH said:No-the Maestro card is a debit card, which is not the same thing as a credit card (there are Visa debit cards, but these are not available in Ireland).
It can take much longer than 2 weeks. It depends on the retailer.
Why does this take so long, seeing as most Debit Card Transactions are now done electronically, online?
[broken link removed]i thought halifax did a visa debit card here.
Charges are very high on these unless I'm mistaken or things have changed in the last while.I use 3v Vouchers to do my online buying from abroad, if that's any help.

Maximum charge 25% (on a €20 voucher), minimum charge 1.43% (on €350), 1.75% forex margin on non € transactions (similar to forex on many CCs), €2.50 to redeem any unused credit. Pricey!It's €5 surcharge on every voucher*, that's all. Only up to €350 (in incriments of €10) max credit per voucher.
Not mentioned on their website as far as I can see...?*There's a new promotional offer on. Buy a €20 voucher and get €5 free credit. So you're really getting the voucher without the surcharge
Very!...Pricey!
Look on that page, and wait for "New: Top up your mobile here" screen to change.ClubMan said:Not mentioned on their website as far as I can see...?
IFSRA have a guide and a cost survey on this very issue that should help.If you have link to how a CC works and the charges, conditions etc.. I be greatful ClubMan!!
Oh - I see. I use Flashblock in Firefox to block annoying Flash content by default so didn't see that.Look on that page, and wait for "New: Top up your mobile here" screen to change.
Thanks!!IFSRA have a guide and a cost survey on this very issue that should help.
Surely that is not correct unless it's for cash advances or something? Normally (on credit cards) the only charges on non eurozone transactions are a foreign exchange margin (usually c. 1.75%-2%), charges and/or interest on cash advances and maybe some other transaction charges in some cases.I just read on the Halifax faq pages that their VISA use outside the EU incurs a 15€ fee for transactions..which seems rather high to me?!)
