Gap year cards

Hi There,

I was wondering if someone could help.

I am going on a gap year in September and have no idea whats the best card to take. I have seen a travellex card that charges 1.49% but that seems alot. Also seen a Santander card which says 0% for 6 months but this seems to good to be true.

Thanks in advance for your help!

    One charges interest for cash withdrawals and the other doesn't.

    What are you studying at University?

    Get a Santander Zero - use it for purchases and withdrawing cash. If you pay it off that month you'll pay virtually nothing for the privilage of withdrawing cash.
  • I'm not studying at the moment, am taking a year off work.
