Credit Card Spending in Morocco

in Credit cards
Just a quick question if I may.
I'm lucky enough to have won a weekend in Marrakech in a swanky 5* hotel, after a bit of investigation I thought it might be better to use a 0% card on food and drink in the hotel and then just pay it off with cash online straight away.
This saves me carrying large amounts of Dirhams and faffing around with cash at the hotel! (I will be using cash when we venture to the markets)
My question - I don't intend on withdrawing cash, just paying with the card, does anyone have any recommendations for which card is best currently?
Many thanks!

If you're using it abroad and paying off straightaway then there's no point in going for a 0% card.
You should try for one with no foreign exchange fees - eg Halifax Clarity.0 -
Ah OK many thanks!0

I personally only used cash in Marrakesh - there are ATMs everywhere.
Also, get some smaller notes as the ATMs tend to give out 100 dirham notes and taxi drivers etc tend to have 'no change'.
