Does Egg Money give cashback on foreign transactions?

Does anyone know if the the Egg money card earns cashback on foreign transactions? Off to Majorca on holiday on Tuesday and will need to pay for accommodation, car hire, petrol, meals out etc. Would I be best taking my Egg card or my Nationwide credit card?

    Egg does pay 1% cashback on foreign transactions, but this is more than wiped out by the 2.65% fees charged.
    Conjugating the verb 'to be":
    -o I am humble -o You are attention seeking -o She is Nadine Dorries

    You are better off using Nationwide.
    The currency conversion outweighs the cashback.
