Presumably the OP would like a CC that doesn't load foreign transactions whilst at the same time has a purchase offer.
When I got my Post Office Mastercard (no loading on foreign stuff) it had a 12 month BT offer and 3 month purchase offer. But I see now it only has the BT offer.
So I'm stumped. I think you'll end up either paying the fee on the foreign transaction, or as a BT fee if you transfer the balance elsewhere.0 -
It's on Quidco and is still doing the 3 months 0% on purchases so not too bad if paid off by month 4.chattychappy wrote: »Presumably the OP would like a CC that doesn't load foreign transactions whilst at the same time has a purchase offer.

I believe the Halifax Clarity is the best card for use in USA - we have one!

Nationwide Select offers 15 months 0% and doesn't charge for foreign purchases (though it does for cash).
You need to be a Nationwide customer however. You can switch to them and apply for the card in the same step if you think it's worth it.0
