They both have an option to do the bank transfer, which is free. So you can see you can see these charges elsewhere, even in less likely companies than is Vueling.

You could try avoiding this with a TA unless they also charge this (for a while BA tickets issued with POS outside of the UK would drop the CC charge, IIRC it was fixed.)
