in Credit cards
Is a visa electron card the same as a visa Debit card.

Basically i am going to be booking a flight with Ryan Air but don't want credit card charges.

I have a Visa Debit card so will i be charged by Ryan Air if i use this.

If so where is the best place and quickest to get an Electron card from. Is there a charge for getting one???

Thanks in advance...

    No, they are not the same, so YES, you will be charge for using your Visa Debit.

    Not sure who still gives out Electrons, may need to ask the bank themselves.
