Ryanair dynamic currency conversion

allfrey

I'm a UK resident. I've just bought some flights fromAustria to the UK denominated in € from Ryanair, using my Neteller £ prepaid master card. I had researched how to avoid Ryanair's dyamic currency conversion. When I got to the payment page and entered the card details I [FONT=&quot] clicked on link near the EUR amount saying "More Information" and opted out of the choice they were offering me to make my payment in US$. I then expected to be charged in € and pay the 2.95% conversion fee on my Neteller card. Instead I got charged in £ and reckon I got charged a conversion fee of around 5%.

Any idea if I can complain about this? It's not much money and it was still cheaper than buying the flight as a return flight in £ but it's frustrating.

I'd like to crack the system for next time. Where did I go wrong? Has anyone used a £ Neteller card to pay in €?

yes I have previously. Can't understand how you were initially offered the purchase in US dollars if your card is a sterling card and the flights would be quoted in euros though. It sounds like you did it correctly

Get to the page where Ryanair shows you a week of flights from Austria to UK (with prices in local currency) but go no further.

Open another Ryanair window and search for any flight from UK, then go back to the Austria flights page and click through on your chosen flight, the price should now be in £ not Euro.
