    Thank you for your quick reply.
    I could now relax and do not need to worry about the fee.

    adindas, I've had a Halifax Easycash for a couple of years now (for flights) and it normally only has a few pence in it, sometimes zero. No problems at all.

    I have got Halifax EasyCash with electron debit card. Mu main intention is to use it to beat the Budget Airlines Fee.

    You will need to get a Fair Fx Prepaid Mastercard though through https://www.topcashback.co.uk in order to beat the £5 per passenger per leg card booking fee scam with Ryanair as they now treat Visa Electron as being just the same as any other credit or debit card.:mad:

    No offer currently available for FairFX on TopCashBack - applying through This is Money, however, waives the usual card cost of £9.95 for initial deposits of less than £500.

    Dear All
    Thank you for your response all.
    I have got FairFx a few month ago to be used with Ryan Air. Luckily it is still free at that time. I just get Electron Card to to beat other Budget Airlines fee for booking.

    As per my post above yours, it is still free if the link given is used for the application.
  • You can get also the card free via this link:

    If you go via the thisismoney link you are probably ensuring a commission for the Daily Heil. :mad: :(

    After being charge £20 over the past two months by EasyJet for using my credit card to pay the idea of an Electron card seems like a good solution.

    I was going to apply for this Halifax Easycash account, but already have various accounts with them including a Reward Current Account with a Visa Debit card and cheque book etc. Does anyone think this will be a problem applying for this too?

    Edit: Just noticed this has already been asked :)

    Dear Mr_Gordon
    I am in similar situation with you. I still got Halifax Easy Cash. I appliad it online.

    Just inb case they were asking you why did you need that. Expalin to them that you want to use it for daily use especially for smalll transaction as you do not need to put a lrage sum of miney in it.
