From the information you give almost any CC would suit... it wouldn't matter much what the APR was as you plan to pay in full each month.
I would suggest you ask your own bank first as they know how you handle your curent a/c.
Use the CC regularly for normal things e.g. petrol; set up a DD to pay in full so you never forget to pay and also so you'll pay no interest.0 -
Well if you only want a couple of hundred, to be paid off every month and are being declined mainstream cards, I would try Vanquis.Got Halifax Classic to reduce my interest rate by 5% woohoo - 10/06/08 Thanks MSE!
