Sainsbury's Gold, free travel insurance as well!

BUT doesnt that cost £5 a month?

Halifax clarity is free but no insurance, insurance can be had for less than £60 a year though even for a family worldwide multitrip

I'm taking the card for 2 months then cancelling it. Will only cost £10. Insurance would have cost £50+. Also I get the best exchange rate.

Currently trading 1.6284.

Sterling took a bit of a pounding yesterday after CPI figures reported at 4.0%, below analyst's expectations of 4.4%. Chances of a rate hike in the UK are somewhat dampened now, with inflation dropping without any intervention from the Bank of England (BOE). Vince Cable praising the BOE this morning for their 'wait-and-see' approach in regards to inflation, and not being pressured into a rate hike.
