in Credit cards
Can someone help me, I am going travelling and would like peoples opinions regarding getting a credit card. I have savings for my trip in my bank account, am I best to use my visa debit card for all my spending and get a credit card for emergency use, or have a credit card and use it for all my spending and set up a direct debit for monthly payments whilst I'm away.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I would personally ignore where it's called debit or credit and go for one that charges the least, preferably 0%.
Will you have safe and cheap internet access where you are going?0 -
