It lost credibility for me when they appeared to claim that Electron
cards were not available in the UK. Later they interviewed a lad who
had made several £5 all-inclusive trips, paying by Electron!

You misunderstood the programme -- it said that Electron credit cards
were not issued by UK banks, not Electron debit cards. The enthusiastic
young traveller had one of the latter.

See my reply to Mr Buddenbrookes.
