VISA ELECTRON benefits list (should be STICKY)

blueplatinum

Everyone will have read that VISA ELECTRON holders can benefit from no card fees when booking with Ryan Air.

I suggest we use this thread to maintain a list of all other similar benefits.

To add one repost the whole list with the new one added. To remove one repost the whole list with the invalid offer removed. This way the last post should always be the up to date list.

I will start below:

It used to be free a few years ago. Currently, it is now again free 'for a limited period only' as a special offer.

That's true, but personally I don't think they'll start charging for it. They only get away with 'extra' charges by having a free alternative (no bag, no insurance, electron cards, etc.) and there would be far too many complaints if that ever changed.

As for the list:

Ryanair
thetrainline (though it's rubbish, so use nxec instead)
easyJet

Generally I have got to agree that the trainline is not so good and nxec is far better but surely nxec only covers nxec routes whilst trainline covers the whole of the uk.

They did start charging for it (can't remember how much, but was less than credit cards), so I seen no reason why they won't again.

Trainline has no fee for debit cards full stop.

Doesn't Trainline charge delivery? Much better to use one of the train companies like nationalexpresseastcoast. They don't charge for credit cards or delivery or try to sucker you with unwanted insurance. Also they sell tickets for the whole network not just their trains.

No, all the train companies sell all tickets for all routes.

(Well, almost all: Virgin's recent 'Blockbuster' fares for weekends with engineering work diversions were only available direct through Virgin, but that's the only exception I know of and they don't exist any more anyway.)
