Best CC for abroad?

Hey

Am travelling to USA next month for a few weeks and would really like the convienence of just using an interest free CC (with no charges on purchases) and paying it off when i get back.

SO far the only one i can find is the PO one with 3 months interest free but ideally i could do with having interest free for 6 months so i can pay it off abit easier, does anyone know any others, i read abt abbey zero but dont udnerstand the charges. free balance transfers dont matter.

Thanks!

    For your purposes i.e no charges on foreign purchases, the PO card and Abbey Zero will be equally good. Both have no additional fees for foreign usage and also provide 3 months 0% interest for purchases.

    Heartily recommend the Post Office platinum card. No charge for foreign usage.
