Cashbak and free foreign xchange

Anyone know of any cards that give cashback and commission free foreign exchange? After years of loving use my Coop TravelCard has now decided to charge commission fees, which completely negate the 1% cashback I to get. As regular (fortnightly) overseas traveller it used to be great. If not will have to use the Halifax one recommended.

    There is no such card.

    I'm assuming that these aren't two separate requirements - i.e. you want cashback on the foreign transaction, not just cashback in general. If thats the case then I think you're out of luck.

    If you want these two things separately (i.e. cashback on Sterling transactions, and fee free foreign spend), then you'd no doubt get the best deal with two separate specialist cards, but Nationwide Select is probably the best single card.

    Halifax Clarity is fee-free and will give you £5/month if you have a Halifax acct and spend £300 or more in that month.
