Nationwide Credit Card is it still the best for overseas purchases?

After reading Martin's article, I'm looking to apply for this card. I have checked the Nationwide website and they still offer no loading fee on purchases.

Is there any other cards I should be looking at?

Also a may use the bt 9 months 0% available on the card, but I'm trying to confirm there is the bt fee. The Nationwide credit card is not included in Martin's article on bt fee's and I have found on confirmation on the Nationwide site.

Does any know if they charge a bt fee?

Thanks Gav

    Nationwide haven't done 0% BT's since early October - when they changed their Classic Card BT offer to 4.9% for 12 months.
  • missed that one, 9 months 0% just for purchases

    Nationwide is still the best for overseas purchases, tie it in with the FlexAccount for foreign ATMs you're on a winner.

    I think Lombard is the other one to consider for foreign purchases, but I think they charge a loading fee for non Euro transactions (could be wrong here though).
