    what counts as an emergency to you?

    what sort of credit limit do you want?

    will you pay the bill in full each month?

    are you employed?

    is you credit rating good?

    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.

    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.
