Spending abroad

I am off to Ibiza for two weeks shortly, I currently have a Nationwide CC, Tesco CC, Lloyds TSB Avios CC, Barclaycard Platinum CC & a newly applied for Post Office Platinum. None have balances which would be best for spending abroad in case of a emergency it looks like the Nationwide / Post Office unless I am missing something?

In terms of buying Euro's it looks like if I buy in the Post Office on the card its 0% if ive got it right ..

Thank you in advance

Also applied for Clear card from Co-Op which was accepted last week but need to send in paperwork / take in paperwork cant be bothered. But if its the best one then I will..
Can I find out my credit score?
You do not have a single credit score or rating. Different organisations take different information into account when working out your credit score and may have different scores for different products. (Kindly from Experian)

    Yes but if you buy in the post office using the card, it may be 0% for using the card but the post office still charge a spread so it won't be great.

    There is a little comparison guide on the travel section that shows costs for using most of the main cards abroad, have a look on there. The nationwide should be free for purchases, so if you're going wit others you could try and pay with the card and get them to pay you back in euros in cash.
