Has anyone else noticed that Ryanair converts the fares for flights booked in currencies other than the one of the cardholder without the agreement of the cardholder? I've made a few one-way bookings back to the UK which quoted prices in euros. Instead of these fares appearing as euros on my UK credit card statement - and then converted to sterling by my card provider - I found only a sterling debit. Am I right in thinking that because of the possibility of high rates of conversion "commission", consumers have to be offered the option of being billed in the "local" currency or in their own?
Ryanair are almost certainly breaking the dynamic currency conversion rules of the credit card company by not offering the option to charge in the local currency. This is certainly the case in the UK but may differ overseas, speak to your card company having first checked the conversion rate used
