Foreign currency fees

in Credit cards
How can I avoid foreign currency fees using a UK(?) card while still getting cash back. Also like a card with good rewards eg airport lounges for family and concierge service. Great if all in one.
A card fee is ok if I can balance benefits with costs. I pay off card monthly

Sounds ambitious to find a card that would meet all those criteria, you're probably best going through the various 'best buy' MSE pages to see if there's anything that grabs you there:

The only card I know is Aqua Reward with 0.5% cashback.
For simplicity, forget about the cashback and get a card with no currency exchange fees (e.g. Halifax Clarity) that will save you about 3%.
To meet all your ambitious demands you will need several cards.0
