I'm taking the Nationwide, Select Card, No fees or loading to use aboard, plus 12 months interest free credit, not planning on drawing any cash, but if I did 12.9%, so not a bad card to get. Turn around on application was seven days.

Are you sure? This http://www.nationwide.co.uk/creditcard/select-credit-card/offer-deals.htm would suggest that the cash rate is 27.9% and you'll also have to pay a fee - are you not thinking of the Halifax Clarity card? Their representative APR is 12.9% for purchases and cash (with no fee) - this is the one I took out and recommend for overseas travel.

Though for purchases alone, the Select is a brilliant overseas card.
