    Yes, this dosn't matter. its a prepaid card they are not offering any credit. no credit search will be done apart from an idenity check

    Nothing. ryanair will not charge you a surcharge ( Currently £6 each way per flight ) for using it. and also you get free flight vouchers but as previously mentioned on these forums they are wothless and 90% of the time the voucher makes you end up paying more for the flight.

    It's a Mastercard DEBIT card, will be accepted anywhere you see the mastercard logo. any retail shop ( almost ) there is a fee of 50p per transaction!

    The Logo of ryanair on the front is the only thing ryanair have to do with this card, its managed and issued by Raplhs Bank.


    Hope this info helps. card is also subject to a £150 minimum load everytime you want to top it up!!!
