Hi,
I'm looking for some clarification on a line I've picked up in the T&C's for this card.
There's a 2.99% Non-Sterling Transaction Fee charged on transactions that aren't in sterling such as purchases made when you are overseas. And if you withdraw cash overseas you will not be charged a Cash Fee.
Is this stating any card transaction made abroad will incur a 2.99% fee? This doesn't appear to be mentioned in any of the card summary reviews.

The 0% fee is a promotional rate.
Therefore the 2.99% refers to what will be charged at the end of the promotional rate (from 1st September 2022). Much the same as how 0% spending offers will still list an APR in the T&Cs...0 -
Thank you for the information. I assumed I must be interpreting this incorrectly.0
