I had the same trouble the first time I tried and did the same as you and thought it was fine but it didn't work. Have you added another payment bank now? It may have been nothing to do with that and it may have just been our tag was just faulty, so hopefully yours will be fine. I returned ours when we got home and when we decided to give it another go starting from scratch.
It won’t let me add another bank but my other bank is Santander and if I read the above posts correctly they don’t allow foreign DDs.
Yes it is quite easy to just tap your card to pay. I wasnt going to bother in end but decided to give it another go. I opened a euro account with our bank HSBC in the end and just transfer the money over to pay invoice when need to.
Maybe that is it. Our HSBC account is Sterling.
Hi JockIt certainly is toll Andy, ie, Peage, and one I chose not to use. I did use it last year coming down, but only the section which by-passed Perpignan.
Are you heading back now, and did you both enjoy your holiday?
Cheers,
Jock.
Yes, we did Benicassim once over Christmas and New Year, but personally prefer to stay at home , then come down in January.
Revolut can, and does for me with my Bip&Go account.
The N11/D900 between La Jonquera and Perpignan is a bit slow and tedious and probably worth the toll to avoid the "shoppers"
I've used it several times, and never struggled to keep to the 80Kph speed limit, out of the built up areas.
Hi JockYes, we did Benicassim once over Christmas and New Year, but personally prefer to stay at home , then come down in January.
Even at other times, we found Benicassim to be quiet after 16.00hrs, hence coming to Benidorm where you can dine out then go on to a late show if you wish.
Glad to see that you enjoyed your first winter jolly to Spain.
Cheers,
Jock.
Thanks Jock.Hi Andy.
Just off the A75 before Clermont Ferrand is an decent overnighter at Issiore, with dump and refresh facilities.
Next up the road, (all non toll/routes) is Pouilly Sur Loire, (overnight parking only along near the Campsite), or Briare Canal with a Borne, or Giene by the Loire (not used ourselves yet as a Fair had occupied it when we passed).
Next up is Nonancourt (N154), through the village and left down to the Fire Station, then right at the hedges. Facilities are usually turned off. Next for us is Auchan Boulogne Saint Martin, ie, safe overnight parking, Autogas, cheaper diesel, and Hypermarket for last minute shopping, and easy access to the A16 for Calais.
All of the above are on S4S, and are free.
P.S. Not done Montreuil sur mer ourselves yet.
HTH.
No problem Andy, and pleased that we could help you and Lynn, just as others helped us out too, namely pjay in the days of FACTS.
It's a pity you didn't arrive earlier Andy, as there is a really nice Italian Restaurant upstairs in the Shopping Mall.We are over nightingale at La Jonquera.
And it's freezing
The Local Rozzers also frequent when out cruising. 
Did you got it in couple of days to an address in UK?
Not sure if Anyone has mentioned this, but that map is out of date.
Did you get the Ferry to Santander ?Last couple off days we have driven from Santander to Benidorm with a Caravan on the toll roads total cost around 38 euro money well spent
Thank you
Thanks.
