Recommended credit card for food shopping

Hello all,

I use a credit card in order to pay for all my groceries over the month. It's paid off on the 1st of each month. This allows me to track how much I spend on food, and try to make it a reasonable amount each month.

I did use Tesco creditcard although I've received very poor service lately, and fed up of them.

Could anyone recommend a good card? I've looked on money.co.uk and this site but I can't make a reasoned decision about it.

Thanks,

    Any card will let you buy food. What card features are important to you? And what is your credit history like?

    if you're looking for bonuses, then a cashback card might be the best.

    Most usually work out better than the tesco clubcard points.

    Amex do one with 1.25% cash back.

    This of cause all depends on your credit history, as most good reward cards require a good credit history
