Halifax Clarity

mustmakealist

I've got a Halifax Clarity card that I use when I go away. Wherever I can I pay for goods and services e.g. meals out, hotels, tickets, souvenirs etc. using it as a credit card in the same way I might use a card at home. I will also draw out cash to pay for those things I purchase where I couldn't use a card e.g. in markets. I've never had to pay much in interest, but I haven't spent a huge amount (hundreds rather than thousands).
I only us it spasmodically on trips abroad and it's never been blocked even though I didn't tell them I would be going away.
