Ok, I took a quick look at Neteller. Here is how I see it....
Open neteller extender account - free
transfer funds using international bank transfer - free (unless charge by your bank)
get prepaid mastercard - free
pos/internet use (e.g. ryanair) - free (once in own currency)
Is there something i'm missing?
demoivre - if Ryanair do this then they cant advertise their 0.01 sales, as they can only advertise the lowest available fare excluding avoidable fees and charges, thats why they have a method (no matter how convoluted) way of eliminating the CC Charge, if they have no free method of booking fares then they have to advertise the fare plus the unavoidable (Admin/CC charge) as the lowest price of the flight.
The best one is Neteller's Net+ pay as you go MasterCard. It is free to get and free to spend. You can get it in any currency. Have a look here. [broken link removed]
As a frequent Ryanair traveller, I thought I should get a prepaid Mastercard. Payzone (through Bank Invik in Luxembourg) supply such a card in Ireland. Beware though, as the small print ahows that you are trading one set of dodgy charges for another! With my card comes the following charges:
- €6 to obtain card.
- €3.50 (up to €350 load) / €5.95 (up to €500 load) every time you load money on the card
- 2.95% of purchase value charge, for every purchase
- €3.50 / month account fee if account is inactive for 3 months.
So best case scenario is a cost of 3.95% for every transaction (1% at card load, plus 2.95% card use). Hence the card may be of value when you get the €5 flights, but definitely not when you get the €250 flights.
I have just received the card, but haven't used it yet.
