SkyEurope Caters to Nervous Online Customers

August 11, 2008 at 9:00 AM | 1 Comment

European low cost carrier SkyEurope has just started a new payment system for customers who get freaked out about putting their credit card details onto the internet. In the modern spirit of joining a bunch of words together with no capitals or hyphens, it's the paysafecard, a pre-paid PIN-protected card that you can use online instead of putting your real credit card info at risk.

SkyEurope is the first airline to hop on the paysafecard bandwagon and they're pretty proud about it, calling it "revolutionary." Whether or not they'll really pick up extra customers this way is something we question, but the idea is certainly not a bad one.

The catch is you have to buy it in pre-paid amounts (of €10, €25, €50 or €100), so you're going to keep ending up with leftover money. Maybe they need to revolutionize the idea just a bit more.
