Two things I wonder about though. It does not have my name on the card, it just says 'CURRENCY CARD'. Now all my other prepaids do have my name and when it comes to booking or buying online (until March 2012 as far as retailers are concerned) what do I put in the name (as appears on card) bit? Anyone had that before?

Any prepaid card that can be bought and collected in a shop will not have your name embossed so it is not unusual. Just put your name as it appears on your other cards.

If you put your name, then it wont match the card details and may not work.
My Escape PP card, which (up to now) I used solely for Ryanair flights has "ESCAPE CASH CARD" embossed on it. That is what I put - ESCAPE CASH CARD in the "name of cardholder box" on Ryanair.

Changed PIN at NatWest and checked balance at Lloyds and HSBC.

A flexible friend if ever there was one.

I've spotted one BIG trick St Michael has missed here that would have really boosted his revenues, obviously I'm not going to reveal it, (without a big cheque if you're reading this Mick - say 10% of extra revenue in year one!)

Ryanair like all other companies, especially the banks, are relying on inertia and lethargy.

For most people it`s easier "not to".

They would rather pay up £6 each way for every person and flight than make the effort to get a card.

Is it a £10 per passenger charge to use the boarding steps to get on the plane (to save you having to take your own)?

Damn you O'Leary - I should have kept my mouth shut.

As a service to all MSE's I will not reveal it (unless Mick comes through with the dosh). The only clue I'll give is that it's NOT priority boarding for one party memeber so you don't have to sit with your family.

Is it?..........pay your £10 NOT to have to sit next to Bob The Saver boasting about his cheaper than yours flight price?
