Does anyone know if their is a better card than the Nationwide Classic Card for use in America?
I want to use it for family holiday purchases then close it down afterwards (once the 0% has ended).

Better, how, exactly? Most cards charge a loading fee of around 2.odd% (Nationwide appears to be the only one that doesn't). Any card that, say, gives you less than this cashback but still charges the loading fee will not be better.Conjugating the verb 'to be":

Would definately go for the Nationwide card. It doesn't charge the loading fees (between 2 and 2.75%) thats all the rest do, and also at the moment you get a very good interest free period for purchases....which is nice..0
