Holiday Cards

Hi - first time poster - pls b nice!

Im going away to New York in a few weeks and want to take a Visa card incase of emergency and possibly large purchases e.g handbags or shoes!

I want a card that obviously doesn't charge me alot on loading charges but also want a while to pay the card off and so 0% would be ideal for a while.

I've had a look through many of the articles but still a bit unsure, does anyone have any suggestions as to what they think I would be best doing or what people may have done previsouly in a similar position?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank You!

LA :confused:

    The post office card and nationwide cc do not charge any loading fees. There may be one or two others which don't charge, but I would recommend reading MArtin's article on the best way of spending money abroad.
