Expenses credit card help!

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me! I've just got my first proper job and I will be travelling a lot and expensing lots of things. The expenses run is every week so I won't be out of pocket for too long but I was hoping to get a credit card to use as if it were a company card and that way I won't be worrying about my current account. Basically, I was wondering if you could tell me which card might be best? I want to pay of the balance in full every month and I'd like to select the day it is paid every month. Any cash back or reward options would be great!
Thank you in advance xx

    Make sure you pay the amount in full every month to avoid paying interest.

    You can choose the day it is paid every month.
  • That does look like a good one thanks. What about the Santander 1 2 3 card? I'll be buying lots of rail tickets so that might be a good one?

    Any credit history? Have you managed credit cards before!
  • Are you sure your employers wont be giving you a card or insisting you buy via your company travel agent?

    The Amex Platinum Cashback is another good option given you are talking about travel type expenses where you are less likely to have issues with acceptance. https://www.americanexpress.com/uk/content/platinum-cashback-everyday-credit-card/
  • Hi, I've had a HSBC credit card for about two years (my current account) and I pay it off in full every month, I only use it for petrol and little things and it was mainly to build up credit history!
    Definitely sure I won't be given one and we don't have a central booking, you just do it all yourself.
