My partner just tried to use her Monzo card to pay for a Travelodge booking online and was told by their system it was an unacceptable method of payment - So had to use other means.
Are there *still problems with payment providers? Haven’t come up with this for a while - Then again, have never had to book with Travelodge before either…
She had three options for card type: Mastercard Credit, Visa and American Express. The Mastercard Credit option didn’t work. Do you remember if there was Mastercard Debit option when you paid?
Seems like poor user experience to me. Surely the system would be able to work out if the card is debit or credit from the first six numbers of the long card number?
This is a layover from when they charged fees for credit cards and didn’t for debit. They could probably merge into a single entry for credit and debit cards generally, but it was probably easier for the processing fee to be set to zero or turned off.
