    I'm sure you can use them all pretty much anywhere, not just the USA. Any particular reason for your request?

  • 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.

    It's on Quidco and is still doing the 3 months 0% on purchases so not too bad if paid off by month 4.

    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.
