Ryanair Prepaid Card - Caxton FX

technopersia

Hi,

I was wondering does using a Caxton FX card count as a prepaid mastercard for no fee booking with the airline?

Many Thanks

Caxton FX cards are now Visa not Mastercard so the answer to your question is No.

You are, however, partly correct as, some time ago when CFX used Mastercard, the card did get around the Ryanair card fee (and I used mine for that purpose many times), however, nowadays it is called an Admin Fee.

For that reason even if you used a FairFX prepaid Mastercard you would still get charged.

If you have a Euro prepaid card you can still get some advantage by purchasing your return ticket separately (assuming the charge is in euro) as many fees are a straight one to one £ to € conversion. So a supplement of say £50 would appear as €50.
