charges are part of day to day life IMO..

i've recently booked a ticket online to go to a music concert..

i was charged a £2 booking fee, and then charged £2.25p to be able to download the ticket and print it out myself.. or i could have paid £2.25p for them to mail me a ticket..

why is me printing it the same price as them sending me one... it is all automated, and there is no way around it...

at least with airlines, and card charges, there is always a way around it.. BMI - their own credit card, RyanAir, an electron card etc etc etc..

M - doesn't whinge half as much as most people on this board..

that's a fair statement, but it relies on one actually being able to get the card...not everyone will be approved!

That simply isn't true. An Electron card is easier to get than a credit card, simply because it isn't a credit card. There is no facility to overdraw. If the funds aren't already prepaid on the card account, the transaction will not be approved.

I believe these cards are used for under-18s and the sub-prime brigade with a poor credit rating. When I got mine, which I only ever use for Ryanair flights, all I had to do was the ID check.
