I've just been told that Vueling doesn't take credit cars issued from outside of their country (like where I am in USA). I remember reading here that someone HAD done this. Any ideas on how I can get around this problem? I'm afraid to wait until the last minute and not be able to fly. TY
I booked last summer on Vueling's site with my US Visa and had no problem. Have you tried doing it or maybe it says something on the airline's website?
I did this about two months ago. It was tricky as website kept rejecting my card, but it eventually went through after me trying for a few days,, and I got the ticket so don't give up.
Pat, you were lucky! I finally gave up after multiple tries on multiple days w/multiple cards, PLUS the phone call. I got the same result that Barbara did. Yes, this has been addressed before...but I finally got my tickets through www.wegolo.com. There's a 7 euro per tkt fee, but at least I got the flights I needed.
Thanks, you guys! I gave up on Vueling and reserved w/ EasyJet...think it ended up costing me a few more bucks, but in the big picture, what's a few more?!? A wegolo representative said they will also look into it because it's not too wise for Vueling to alienate those of us who can afford to visit over there. I appreciate the rapid responses.
So Barbara you booked through wegolow or with EasyJet direct??
I have a feeling Vueling could care less about the North American tourists, it is a Spanish airline and I am sure well used locally ( by mostly other europeons, since they apparently have survived for years without Americans or Canadians being able to use their CCs easily on their sites)
I do think it is stupid though.
Well, forget what I said about wegolo.com. I tried to book 2 more tkts w/them on the same Vueling flight w/the same MC I used before & Vueling rejected it. Now I'm really stuck, as we're a group traveling together & these other 2 need to be on our flight, as none of the other airlines fly FCO-CDG at anywhere near the same time. Yikes!
I booked with Vueling online last week and had no trouble using my visa debit card number. It took without a problem and the money has been deducted from my account already.
If anyone's still trying to use Vueling after all this, let me give you the final chapter. I finally called the Barcelona office again...& this time a very helpful young man took my CC over the phone, even had all the passenger info from the 'failed' online try, gave seat assignments, & the whole thing was done in a couple of minutes. Note to self: get all your ducks (passengers) in a row before you make the initial reservation!!! ;-)
I booked airling tickets with Vueling for this summer from here in the USA, used my VISA card, no problem.
