Credit Card Advice

in Credit cards
To start of, I'm on DLA (Disability Living Allowance) and Incapacity, so getting a CC card is pretty difficult. I'm not proud of not working for my money.
Currently, my mother has got me a Littlewoods CC from the catalogue she runs. The problem with this (outside of it not truly being my own) is that I get charged commission on orders I make that are in dollars, I think it's 3%. Does anyone know if I (or even my non-working mother) would be able to get a CC that doesn't charge commission on stuff I import?
Thanks!

Have a look here all cards make that charge for conversion of $ to £ except The Post Office card as they don't pass the charge on to you the customer.Well they don't at the moment!!Previously known as Bokken,registered at MSE in Nov 04,computer glich deleted my access but it is fun building up my stars from scratch,again.:D0 -
