Hi,
I am going to be booking about 6 flights with easyjet over the xmas period, so applied for a Halifax account to get a visa electron...but they are being very slow and haven't even replied yet...
If I get a Post Office Travel Card, OR a Travelex Pre Pay Card, will I be ok to use them to book with Easyjet?
Other option is Entropay but thats 5% charge as opposed to 1.5% for PO card, and can't seem to find the Travelex rate...
Thanks

If you are going to book 6 flights over the Christmas period you might as well go ahead and book them in one go with a normal debit card. The total card charge of £3.50 is likely to be less than fee charged by a virtual electron card. And if you wait for the Halifax card to arrive some of the flight prices are likely to rise by more than a total of £3.50.0

One thing though - on the PO Travel Card it says "A Cross-Border Fee of 2.75% of the transaction amount will apply if transaction is in currency other than that of the Card, applicable to both Card Purchases and Cash Withdrawals"
Does that mean if I load it with £, and buy 1 ticket between 2 Euro countries on Easyjet, so gotta pay in €, the card would charge me, rather then just converting? Might get a 2nd card if thats possible? As there is no charge for loading with Euros.
