However, they are very expensive to operate, even before taking into account lost interest. Using them to buy airline tickets is likely to be more expensive than paying the credit card "surcharge".
Oh you are gullible, aren't you!

Not to mention the fact that you don't get any protection if the airline or other organisation goes bust.

for a fare of 99 pounds you wouldn't get this however you paid

Without wishing to be rude, that was my thought as well.
I saw one a few months ago at Tesco. I hired some wine glasses for a reception. The hire is free but you need to leave a deposit (in case you don't bring them back, or break any). Their standard procedure for deposits by card is not to debit them through the till and then re-credit when the glasses are returned, but merely to take an old-fashioned multipart imprint on collection, which you sign, and when you return the glasses they tear it up.
ScrewFix did a few months back when their C&P went down.
Europcar in Merthyr Tydfil did when I had a hire car for a week back in July.
It was the first time I had seen one in a few years.
Why do you (wrongly) suggest that?
It is simple fact that Electron cards are being phased out.
So Ryanair would not have been *able* to continue that method of avoiding showing the charge in the headline price for long.
Really ?
If you had paid for the flight and the airline went "bust" before you were able to travel, you would get no refund ?
How and why ?
Having seen how you treated Corrine O'Hagan, I'd prefer to tell you how to get stuffed.

And how are you going to prove that I am wrong? I don't believe that you have a spy on Ryanair's board
Perhaps it is, but that has not yet been achieved and other airlines still nominate them as their only "free" card.
Maybe they wouldn't, but you should never believe anything that Molly Malone tells you wrt money.

Not from the credit card on the basis of your Section 75 protection. So credit card payments will be equal with every other payment method
because the purchase is for an item of less than 100 pounds
Of course I don't.
Why on earth would that have any bearing on your wrongness? What I was claiming was your wrong suggestion was that I am gullible.
They will also soon change, because they will have to.
Any who are still hanging on to Electron as the only "free" payment method are probably doing so because it is still less widely used.
Who is "Molly Malone", and what has she been telling anybody (she hasn't told me anything at all, so I can't either believe or disbelieve)

We still have on in our shop, as a back-up in case the electronic terminal fails, or for use on the odd occasion when we trade away from our retail premises.
Probably December 2008 when it was last used.

Not necessarily - but they often are.
At the moment, Fairfx are offering their 'Anywhere' card (Ryanair compatible) for free:
However, pray that you dont have problems - their Helpline is 80p per minute!
