Still can't decide which card

in Credit cards
I want a credit card, mostly to buy goods on line. I have no balance to transfer, I don't need a huge credit limit and I pay in full each month. I am bewildered. Can anyone help ?

    Try your own bank first.

    Sorry, I should have made it clear. It's my banks card I'm giving up.

    Which bank is that? Just so we don't recommend it. What is it about your current card that you don't like?

    If you are just going to use it for small online purchases and will pay it off in full every month, use the MSE tools to look up cashback cards, as you may as well try to earn some pennies while you spend.

    It has a checklist of what you want to use the card for and the best cards. Try that.

    Initially it's my Barclaycard I want to get rid of. I had a major dispute with them earlier in the year when they locked my pin for no reason that I could see or accept. When I've got rid of that I had thought I would change from Barclays bank afterwards.
    BargainBetty - thanks for the suggestion - it's doing that that's made me bewildered. Perhaps I ought to have a more determined 'go' at it.
