Is RyanAir getting wise to us?

I've just had a look at the Ryanair website and seen this statement:
"As a special offer to Visa Electron card holders, Ryanair, for a limited period only, will not apply a Debit Card charge."
I've never noticed it before, I wonder if it's something new and RyanAir are considering ending the free payment by Visa Electron - or has it always said that.

I've never noticed it before. I thought that by law, they had to offer a free method of payment. I could be wrong though....Undefeated Wii Fit ski jump champion!

They're probably frantically searching for the most obscure card in existence.
Anyone have a debit card for the Bank of Zimbabwe? :rotfl:0 -
They have that, it is the Electron Card
Nah! Too many of us have one of those now - they're common as muck to us MSE-ers.0 -
The new wording seems to have been there since they raised debit card fees a few weeks ago. Looks like they are covering themselves in the hope that they can find a way to charge a fee for all card types.
Maybe they'll go for the Japan Credit Bureau card - already accepted by quite a lot of retailers in the UK, but AFAIK not issued anywhere in Europe.Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks

There's an American debit card system that's only usable in North America - if they can get that in their system the problem will be solved.They have that, it is the Electron Card..
Until then they will have to keep the Electron card free otherwise their headline prices will have to go up0 -

Thinking logically, you would think the advantage would be if you paid with a Ryanair credit card, maybe not free but at a reduced fee to other cards. They must get a cut from this over say someone using a Barclaycard etc.
