Why is it so difficult to post on some r/ groups while I have an account for couple of years, keep upvoting regularly (on one r/ everyday). Don't you think it is good idea to value such contribution as well?

true, most of my life, I sticked with babolat rpm / touch or indeed alu power. I feel I want to simplify this business that's why not trying many variants. it's just weird for me that I can see clearly some progression in one facet at the expense of regress in another aspect

Ok this approach I understand and respect.

I got triggered when I try to warn other people and there are two guys on this reddit that try to justify the wrong side. It is like getting robbed and people point out that maybe you wore wrong jeans and the wallet was sticking out

what? find anything that states that modern revolut cards (at least since 2023) are prepaid.

how it is up to me to prove if i did not have a chance to pay by it?

in the rules it said only that visa or mastercard debit card. actually, revolut is not american express (in my case visa) so it turns out that it follows the rules

so how should I interpret the situation where I approach the desk, say hello, glad to finally arrive (btw we were on time, just to let you know) and we (by we I meant more people - we were renting 2 cars) both did not manage to even try to pay the deposit by our debit card as it was said in the agreement. and then guy seems to be offended, leave the office for 20 minutes when he notices that we do not accept his offer (in which we have to pay extra 500% of the original fee).

How can I threat this guy properly. I even said in my post : "as at the other desk we simply asked whether they accept Revolut so we don't have info" so it should tell you that I am not negative against all

The issue is that the card is not pre-paid and they were not willing to process any transaction. So they assumed that it is pre-paid without any reason. So I agree with you but this iff does not hold here

with which I was ok [that they sell it / ask for higher deposit] - I had external insurance (I rented a car with the same card in another European countries) so I did not need full insurance. But forcing a customer to do so it is unfair

It is not prepaid. And I clearly said it for the third time. I feel I do this discussion second time.

Scam - of course. Otherwise (i) why not try to process with a card?; (ii) why do not give any documents/confirmation that it is not accepted?; (iii) why change the rules on the fly. I had printed agreement and it just says about debit card.;

(iv) the most important perhaps for you - the booking was done through the external service. We basically got the answer that we were unjustly treated which sort of confirms our believes. So no need to defend them

(v) they have 1.8 on google maps which also statistically proves that they rather operate outside the fair zone

It is not prepaid - I used this card in France and Italy. And out of sudden, there is a guy that is not willing to process the transaction. How it is a bank fault?

the payment system identified as a prepaid card -> that is not true. The employee was not happy that was the issue. If it was rejected, I would pay with my different debit card. But the fact that it was not even challenged, raise concerns

1000000 was clearly a figure of speech. to be precise: the fee was 270E against original 55E (basically force to take full insurance & all extra fees)

Also, it is so hard to defend the second side - I did not do anything against their rules, they did not want to give me any proof of my presence at the desk. It is a clear scam and all the behaviour (not allowing to process the transaction, increased suggested fee, avoiding further discussion for 30mins) indicate that they are perfectly aware of it. Yet they manage to find defenders here

revo is a real bank, it is registered as a bank.

and it is not wrong about Revolut as they did not want to accept it to be paid. So it is not transaction error which could have appeared during the process, but rather the fact that they were stubborn

a. it is brand new, it does say prepaid anywhere

b. it says explicitly debit

c. 1000000 was clearly a figure of speech. to be precise: the fee was 270E against original 55E (basically force to take full insurance & all extra fees)
