Now Switch=Maestro. Maestro is a debit card under Mastercard.
I am not 100% sure, but I think now difference in acceptance of Visa-Delta and Mastercard-Maestro debit card is very small.
Don't swithch account every time - just open a new one and soon you will have a lot of accounts too ...

In this country, yes. For Overseas travel it is better to have a Visa Debit card.

As for the intrest, is it a good idea to have any direct debits and standing order to go out at the end of the month, so you technicly get nearly a full month with most of your wages in? rarther than have them all come out at the start just a few days after you've got paid?
