    Sorry to be the one to inform you, but it will be impossible to cancel.
    Only booking with the visa electron card will incur no card fee.
    Just put it down to experience and get a visa electron card or use someone elses with permission for your next booking.
  • oh bo**ox......:mad:

    guess whos got a visa electron! stupid cow!!
  • I've had it with Ryanair, I'd rather spend £200 going on the boat than give those jerks any more of my money.

  • Open a Halifax Easycash account online and you will receive a Visa Electron card within about 10 days.

    I did it a couple of weeks ago and already have booked a number of Ryanair flights.No extra charges

    It's not Ryanairs fault. It is the public for not knowing how to play the game. How can I complain about an airline that allows me to travel throughout Europe for as little as a penny?
  • So far I've been pleased with Ryan Air, I've just booked tickets for my oh who is working in dubling to come home for the weekend of our DD's birthday and it only cost me £2 for return flights. If I hadn't been able to get these so cheap - oh might not have made it home for DD's birthday.

    It really is worth getting an electron card
  • I have an electron card. Not got any cash on it at the moment. Does anyone have any idea how long it takes to transfer online. ie does it clear straight away or take a couple of days. From HSBC. Thanks.

    If you'd read what it said on the screen properly you wouldn't have had a problem.

    Millions of us do read it and don't have a problem, ever

    Do you mean how long will it take to put money in the electron account?
