I think it's outrageous that Ryanair are allowed to advertise fares where it is not posssible to avoid a surcharge whichever way the customer pays.
its a fee for using the processing software, which includes the CC/debt card fee. its a fixedd fee per transaction, you can easily see how the club is subsidising somewhere. if you brought say 4 tickets on CC with 2% fee, postage and envelope, thats a cost of well over £2.
Given that I pay with a DEBIT card, and no tickets are actually produced or posted (just added to our smart cards), they are making £1.80 on that transaction, though. On others they'll lose out though, and its a lot simpler to charger everybody the same.
I'm not going to get too wound up over TWO POUNDS, and at least as insider says, they are charging it per transaction, rather than per ticket.

Not withstanding the fact they have to employ someone to actually do the transaction so how is that cost covered ?
why should customers subsidize the use of the software that produces the tickets that we buy?
Er, that's ME isn't it, when I buy them online?
And general staff costs would be factored into the cost of goods. It costs them more to pay the physical ticket office staff, yet if I go there in person I'm not charged the fee. So your justification is totally flawed.

In waitrose this morning the buggers added on £2 on to my shopping when i challenged this they said it was to help subsidize the stocking of the shelves and general maintenance of the building.
I thought this was about bans for Ashley Barnes etc
Really, I'll leave it at that lest an insult again
