Can you reccomend a card for my expenses?

Options
Hello, abot twice a month I may have to go on business trips spending upto £200 a month maybe a little more.

I do not have a float of money to cover this so it has been suggested that I get a cc for it.

It is to cover things like petrol, meals etc while away.
As long as I put my expenses in at the start of the month it should get paid within a week.

Can you recommend a card with low, low charges that I can use solely for my expenses, I will be wanting to set a very low limit on it too.

Cheers.
Mtty.

    most CC give you about a month to pay the bill

    so if you can pay in full each month there are no charges

    if you have never had a CC then probably best to try your bank first

    later you may wish to try one with some sort of benefits

    Sounds like things are tight in the financial department, 200 pounds doesn't sound that extreme to me...

    That's really not going to do you much good with your application, it suggests to lenders you're gonna have trouble paying them back.

    I'd say try a sub par card like Vanquis or Capital One, the intrest rates are mute as you have 45 days to pay the balance before they kick in and you suggest you'd be getting the money refunded well within that period.
