Big fees for credit card bookings now banned

[Jonjo]

I came across an article in the Independent over the weekend stating that businesses are banned from today (6 April) from automatically imposing excessive charges when customers use credit or debit cards to pay for a holiday, an air or train journey, a concert ticket or a visit to the theatre or cinema.

Does anyone know if Disneyland Paris has lowered their £14 card payment surcharge?

Just done a quote on the DLP website and it's still showing that 'a £16 handling fee will be charged per booking'

So it looks like it's still there and has gone up again!!!!

it was £16 when I last booked with DLP, in August last year.

Ah must have gone up sometime last year? I know I did our original booking for October 2012 back in January 2012 and only paid £14, I re-arranged the booking later in the year just before the balance was due and I can't remember if the CM said the fee had gone up or not but I know she said I didn't have to pay it again!!

I'll add this to my list of things to mention at the Round Table meeting on Wednesday with Mark Stead the resorts Chief Financial Officer. Did not know it went up to £16!

Its worth mentioning but it also varies when booking from the other countries sites (or at least it did do). Thing is there are loop holes round this with the like of Easy Jet & RyanAir just relabeling the charges.
