Hassle free credit card (for peace of mind)
Comments

I say just keep your debit card :P Not worth all the hassle if you ask me lol0

Screw Amex anyway!

But yeah fair enough, £120 a year probably isn't worth the hassle (although thinking about it, allowing for petrol and if I could get cash withdrawals it'd be a lot higher than that) but now I'm not even sure if I can be bothered with the hassle of a credit card. Meh. Keep just going around in circles!

Forget about hassle, there is no hassle. You need to take a few steps back and stop chasing pots of gold until you understand how they actually work.
Your comment that I've highlighted in nice friendly bold red letters is a recipe for disaster.

Recipe for disaster in what way?
On an interesting note, my Amex application actually got approved! But after speaking around I'm not sure I'm going to bother using it. The constant hassle of "Do they or don't they accept this?" (usually the latter) makes me think I shouldn't bother.0 -
What was your credit limit like..0

Absolutely no idea, going to have a proper look through the documentation when I get home tonight. Or not actually, since I'm not going to use the card. Tempting as the 5% cashback is.0
