Cashback credit cards abroad

Options
I recently had a Nationwide account whereby I was earning cash-back on all purchases including those abroad, this was particularly favorable since they don't have a Foreign currency conversion charge. However about a year ago they correct this and removed the cash-back abroad.

Can anyone recommend a suitable cash-back card for use abroad?

Thanks

    Egg and GE Money both give me cash back abroad. GE Money even gave me the 3% when I used it in supermarkets in the States, didn't think they would do this.
  • Egg Have dropped their cashback card. Anyone know of any others?
  • Pretty much all cashback cards would cost more to use abroad than a Nationwide card due to the 2.75% loading applied, even including the cashback.

    According to their website, Egg Money still offers cashback.

    I used Egg Money whilst abroad, 2.65% loading on each transaction but 1% cashback. So not too bad.

    Nationwide credit card is the best bet. I have been getting ER of around
    1.47 euro/£ on transactions this month compared with around 1.41 on other cards so even with a highish moneyback, like Amex at 1.5%, the Nationwide is still streets ahead.
