A new card required for European holiday.

Hi all,

I’m new to the forum, so please be gentle.

I was hoping that someone in the know could point me in the right direction regarding getting a new credit card for taking on my upcoming holiday (a med cruise).

I was planning on going for a card with 0% on new purchases over as long a period as possible, however a friend has informed me that many of these cards will charge for making purchases outwith the UK.

On hearing this I considered applying for the Post Office card as that states that zero charges will be made, but this only has a 3 month 0% interest on new purchases and from the information detailed in another thread you can’t repay via the internet or over the phone.

I currently don’t have a balance on any other cards, so any balance transfer percentages is not an issue. Could someone please recommend a card that would suit my requirements?


Thanks

I was asking for a card that didn't charge for use in Europe and has a period of intrest free spending

I'm not sure if I'm asking for to much from the one card.

Nationwide don't charge for using a credit card in Europe and you can pay it on line. I think they've currently got an 18 month interest free period.

I'll give that one a look

For anyone looking in.

In order to recieve the 0% interest you are required to have a Nationwide account.

I think I'm just going to go with the Post Office card as this seems to be the only one that offers what I'm looking for.

Thanks again for the help.
