Can you avoid card charges using Entropay on Jet 2 flights?

[ursa1]

Hi
I have just booked a flight with Jet 2 & noticed that 'Electron' card users dont pay a card fee. Does anyone know if Entropay is classed as an electron card? If not are there any electron cards still available as I have heard the banks got rid of them!
Thanks

This question (or variations of it) has come up lots of times before but I have to admit to this being the first time I've heard Entropay mentioned.

The Entropay website suggests that their payment system is simply equivalent to using a Visa card (rather than a Visa Electron) one. However Martin Lewis's website states that "most budget airline flights treat this as an Electron transaction" (but, rather unhelpfully, doesn't say exactly which airlines do so):

2 years ago, MoneySavingExpert was recommending the Travelex Cash Passport as the cheapest way to get a Visa Electron card

but (unless I'm missing something) they seem to have gone over to MasterCard now:

Thanks Beunchico for your comments, I did have a look at the money savings website before I posted & as you say it doesnt mention if Jet 2 is one of the airlines that you can use it with. Just find it v frustrating that I have booked flights for xmas & fee was £27 but the booking fee for flights i have booked in 2013 are £17!! doesn't make sense to me
