    If you get their Platinum Travel Card, yes, if you get any other card, no.

    I had a 0% purchases deal on my Barclaycard until December. (Not a Platinum travel card). Overseas purchases were always interest free. But the non sterling transaction fee was added to the balance.

    Ref. the Platinum Travel Card.

    I understand the terms and conditions about no non Sterling transaction fee or cash withdrawal fee when taking foreign currency from an ATM abroad - but I was unclear on the interest charged for such a cash advance.

    MSE indicates that there is no interest charged if you settle the amount due on your monthly statement in full by the date due for payment.

    Can anybody confirm this ?

    Yes. That's correct.
  • Thanks for that WM.
