I remember getting this card for a reason before my upcoming holidays, either for free withdrawals or load free spending. However now looking back through the terms I cannot figure out which one. If someone could shine some light on the situation it would be much appreciated :beer:

    Thanks, the below is also listed under the "foreign usage" section. Is there anything I need to avoid doing so not to trigger these fees?

    One or more of the following may apply:

    Non-sterling transaction fee 2.75% Cash Fee 3.0%
    (minimum £3)

    Friend of mine has just got one of these and it looks like the terms have changed - his has no free foreign transactions. Mine does, but I got it about 6 months ago. I'm presuming the T&Cs haven't changed for existing customers?

    It is unclear if they have changed the T&C for just new customers of for all customers.
    Last year:
    Capital One Classic Extra:

    For people with an average to good credit history
    0.5% cashback on all your purchases
    Earn a £10 annual reward for paying on time each month
    Paying on time helps build your credit rating
    Pay no fees on purchases in foreign currencies
    No annual fee

    Source

    That has disappeared from current advertising and T&C.
