    Could anyone tell me which is the best credit card for those of us who pay off our full balance each month? I'm really looking for a good cashback card, and it seems that it's between AMEX Blue and Morgan Stanley (or Goldfish, as it's now called).

    AMEX Blue is 0.5% cashback for the first £3500, and then 1% from £3501.
    Not sure about Morgan Stanley/Goldfish, but I've heard it's a good rate.

    Any advice most appreciated!

    Bear in mind that the acceptability of AMEX although increasing is nowhere near that of MC/Visa.

    None of the cards you mention are top rate payers.

    Consider:-

    AMEX Platinum Credit Card at 5% for 1st 3 months then tiered

    I'm not able to apply for this one as I'm not earning at present
    Shell Citi Card for 3% on Shell Purchases and 1% on all other purchases

    I don't drive
    Barclaycard Cashback for 4% until September then 0.5%

    I would like to apply for this but already have a barclaycard and told I would need to apply for a new card
    Egg Money for 1% on all purchases

    I am considering this one as my second choice

    Does anyone know if the Barclaycard call centre is in India only? I've tried twice to get my questions across to them but got limited responses. I would like to try for their cashback credit card as my first choice though. Can someone please advise?
