Credit card - which one to apply for?

Hi

I am looking to apply for my first credit card having managed my monthly spend through my debit card most of my working life.

I want to use it mainly for groceries and fuel - with the odd 'other' spend in there also - and have earmarked the Amex Platinum Everyday mainly due to its cashback offer.

I envisage that the monthly spend on fuel to be no more than £150, groceries also aroud the same and with the 'other' spend i would assume to spend £400 on the card monthly so am I making the right choice and what are the alternatives?

OP - You are unlikely to get a Amex card as a first credit card.
Better off trying your own bank or something like Capital One Extra

Thanks for the response guys.

I successfully applied for the Amex Platinum Cashback card so we'll see how it goes!
