    Transfer your money to an account (free) on entropay (you will have to google it im sorry i cant post links)

    No card charges at all.
  • Not true, Kenny Powers.

    Entropay won't work for Flybe, for instance.

    I was not aware of that thanks for bringing it to my attention.

    If the OP wishes to book on most airlines sites i doubt there will be many problems. There will undoubtedly be the odd few. But when compared with credit card surcharges i think there will be more that accept Entropay than don't charge a surcharge.
  • It's certainly wise to check first before loading money onto Entropay - certainly, the only sensible advice these days is that if you wish to use Visa Electron, then get a physical card rather than a virtual one.

  • Expedia don't charge any credit card surcharges but always check the prices. Sometimes they will be cheaper and don't have a credit card surcharge, sometimes they may be slightly more pricey which may mean its better to go elsewhere and pay the surcharge.

    After the collapse of XL + some other airlines, I reckon NOT using a CC would be a risk too great.
    By using a cashback credit card +/or booking through Quidco/Topcashback you can nulify the impact of any CC charges.
