dorothy09 Posted September 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2017 What is the best way to pay account, debit or credit card? Do they charge fee for credit card, we have Halifax and Nationwide credit cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake 26 Posted September 3, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Presumably that will cease in the new year when credit and debit card surcharges are banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeCountyMan Posted September 3, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 3, 2017 You can also use cash, £200 paid upfront. Customer services will advise you when/if your account balance is approaching the need for a top up. You can replenish in readies, or offer a debit card to settle any difference. Any cash balance if your favour is refunded in cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k8ti Posted September 22, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2017 My husband always uses his debit card but I was wondering if I wanted to buy him a gift could I go to reception and provide another card or cash for the purchase? last time he ended paying for his gift himself. Which as technically it is a joint account it just felt a bit wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeCountyMan Posted September 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I don't see any way around that - I doubt the company would accept split payment for a joint cabin account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malch_uk Posted September 23, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I don't see any way around that - I doubt the company would accept split payment for a joint cabin account. Fred Olsen will. They ask you at check in if you want both cabin cards linked to the same payment card, or different ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which as technically it is a joint account it just felt a bit wrong. Just go to reception and ask to deposit some cash (approx the cost of the gift) against your account, this will then be used towards settling your account with the remaining balance being taken from the registered debit card (his).

Easy,you only usually register one card for convenience, every cabin occupant can register their own card if they want, every occupant has their own statement (everything booked to their own ship card) on the overall cabin statement anyway.

Simples. How does that hide her gift purchase from the husband's knowledge ? When he settles the final cabin account he'll clock both his wife's cash deposit and the clandestine transaction. Element of surprise negated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst now recognising that it is possible to register separately, if they are in the practice of settling their joint cabin account with one card, the husband would immediately question why his wife was seeking to have her card registered for split accounts. Doesn't fit in with the surprise gift scenario IMO. Edited September 24, 2017 by WeeCountyMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im presuming he's going to get the gift before the account is settled at the end of the week and she has deposited cash to their account without him knowing.
