New Credit Card

I'm cancelling my current credit card ( disagreement over disputed amount) so I'm looking for a new card.
I pay my balance off in full each month.
Can anyone recommend me a card?

    Thanks debtdestroyer. I've paid the amount now but my gripe was that my CC company didnt give me any back up against the company ( a garage ) that I had disputed the amount with.
    Is a barclaycard easy enough to get?
  • as long as ur equifax is clean and dont have too many searches...... give it a go mate

    What is equifax?
    Also searches?
    Thanks.
  • equifax is a credit reporting agency used by barclaycard for its credit checks.

    searches relate to credit checks.... the less u have the better it is as too many searches in a short period may denote overcommitment or even application fraud

    I've just looked at the Barclaycard Platinum online and it states thet it charges 2.75% for an overseas transaction.
    Can anyone tell me if this is usual for all or most credit cards?
    Thanks
