Nationwide Select any good?

Nationwide have sent me an invitation in the post to apply for their Select credit card

It seems like a good deal with 0% on purchases for 12 months and 0% on balance tranfers for 26 months

Plus you earn cashback

Does anyone have this card?

Is it a good card to have or is there a catch?

    Not really a "catch", but there's no cashback on foreign spend.

    Also, smaller BT fees are available elsewhere for similar BT durations (if that's the intended use).

    depends what other cards you

    but no fees on overseas purchases may be good for you

    0.5% cashback better than nothing

    no disadvantages
  • Thank you

    Just looking at it in more detail and they say you need to have a FlexAccount that you pay in at least £750 a month into

    I do have a Flexaccount but its not my main current account so about £300 a month gets paid in

    So not sure why they would invite me to apply in the first place?

    if it is useful to you and you want it, you can just 'recycle' money every month: just pay the money then draw it out.
