Which card is best for me?!

I'm new to credit cards, therefore i don't know too much about them.
I need the card purely for online purchases, there's so much online theft these days it's scary! I just want to be covered incase it ever happens to me. Any advice on the right card for me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    You could try a prepaid card as you dont need a credit rating

    Agree with pokerface,

    Check out http://www.money.co.uk/prepaid-cards.htm

    These prepaid cards have limited personal info on them and are limited to the amount you want which is reassuring if you are concerned about security.
  • Thanks to both of you, up until now i had never even heard of pre paid cards!
    I will most certainly look into to them.
