Which credit card should I use in Turkey?

saverbynature

Just booked a last minute holiday to Turkey. I've use TravelMoneyMax.com to find the best deal for buying Turkish Lira, but in case we need to use a credit card for any purchases (not cash) does anyone know whether we'd be better using a Natwest Visa card or a Debenhams Mastercard (operated by Santander)? Thanks

Both charge the standard 2.75% for overseas transactions (buried in the exchange rate) - so no difference

The points offered with the Debenhams card are a bonus though

Thanks dzug1. We get Natwest Travel Points using the Visa card so not much difference at all.

If you can avoid it, try not to use any CR Card , I once had a bad experienced and it took me for a while to sort it out. But still lovely place and great people...
