Buying on Ryanair with Orange Cash Prepaid Mastercard not working
Comments

This is exactly what I suspected was the case, for some odd reason I couldn't sign up for a FairFX card though, they claimed I failed the fraud checks! So at the moment I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place!I have an orange prepaid mastercard thingy : If I choose "mastercard prepaid" on ryanair site, the paiment fails (tested many times). If i choose mastercard : the payment is ok (and i'm charged for the extra pounds
). Seems that ryanair is misclassifying the card.
Orange Cash are closed on Sunday too so I'll have to wait until tomorrow before I can speak to anyone.Debt Summary:

Hmm, 50p a minute to call Orange Cash, and I'm sure all they'll tell me is that it's Ryanair not accepting their BIN range of Prepaid MastercardsDebt Summary:

Well I bit the bullet and called them - spent 1 min 59 seconds on the phone so it "only" cost me a pound, but they said its 100% nothing to do with their systems, Ryanair have made no attempts for payment and they confirmed their card is 100% a Prepaid Mastercard.
So the blame (as I suspected) lies with Ryanair.Debt Summary:

Orangecash called me back on that subject, here the bottom line : "it's complicated, they will hand it to their technical team"

Hi,
Really keen to get the answer here; I too have an orange prepaid card, ready to buy my ryanair flights which are tax free on my route.
Did you manage to sort this payment issue?0 -
Seems you will have to wait until Ryanair updates the card BIN numbers..0

apparently it's been fixed. I got a mail from orange saying that the fault was on ryanair side apprently. but it seems to be fixed now 0

Nevertheless please keep us up to date as it'll be good to know
