| Feb 26, 2021 at 12:29 | comment | added | Relaxed | The real solution seems to have come from Easyjet though, if I am reading their website correctly, they lowered their fees for many cards (I haven't used them in two years), even credit cards and Amex! They also added a SEPA direct debit option which should work with Dutch bank accounts, even without credit cards. | |

Unfortunately, N26 isn't a good solution as they apparently issue a Mastercard debit card which isn't eligible for lower fees on easyjet.com either. Revolut switched from Visa Debit to Maestro for Dutch customers but I don't think those work either (that's the gist of my earlier comment on the question). | |

Regular Dutch banks' offerings don't work for that because their debit cards do not allow online transactions except through the Dutch iDEAL system (which easyjet doesn't support). | |

You are really asking about something else, namely a card that supports online transactions. And the rules for that differ from merchant to merchant. Speaking about low-cost airlines, even a Visa Debit might not be enough to avoid extra fees, each have different rather arbitrary restrictions. As an example, if I am not mistaken, EasyJet waives the fee for a Visa Electron but not a Visa or Mastercard Debit. | |
