    Santander Zero card would be your best bet.

    Thanks Cannyjock, i've read all that before, just wanted to double check as im not sure i fully understand all the termanology lol
    So i could use that for purchases only abroad at 0%, but every month would be 18.9% interest? xx

    Nope, not 18.9% monthly interest.

    You get 0% interest on your purchases for 3 months, then 18.9% annual interest (1.4531% per month).

    Don't withdraw cash on it.
