[b]Ryanair's FFP....: The poster noted that there was a Ryanair Visa and that free trips could be had from its use.

Honestly, I just don't think that it's of that wide an interest.

Hmmm. I didn't really want to play FlyerTalk ping pong BUT:

1. The ryanair.com card is NOT a miles earning card (the criterion for the Visa/Mastercard forum). The post does not belong there. Most Ryanair customers use debit cards, not credit cards, to avoid the booking fee.

2. The post was more to do with Ryanair than the card. Ryanair happens to be the biggest low frills carrier in Europe. To offer something approaching an FFP is interesting to me and others who follow these carriers - quite a few if the number of other posts mentioning Ryanair and other no frills carriers is to be believed.

3. Is the qualification for posting on FlyerTalk whether you find the information of interest? Dangerous. Less polite folks may think there is censorship here.
