Hello and welcome to the forum!

In a word, Nationwide.
Almost every other credit card company levy a fee (usually 2.75%) when you use your card abroad (this normally doesn't appear on the bill separately, it's incorporated into the exchange rate which is skewed 2.75% in their favour). Nationwide (and a couple of other less well known CCs, including Lombard Direct I think) don't apply this fee so they will be cheaper to use abroad.

The main section of this site contains an article from Martin about spending abroad which could be useful.
