What type of Credit Card

I am looking to get a travel credit card, but not sure which one would be best, is it worth having to pay a fee? I will be using the credit card for work and will be spending about £40k a year on it. I always clear the card every month.

    You'd only want a fee based card if there's some added benefits you're after - eg airport lounge access.

    Otherwise, you're looking for a no forex card, like Halifax Clarity or similar.
  • Sorry I didn't explain very well, I am looking for a credit card which gives you air miles, like the Amex or BA. There are quite a few different ones and wasn't sure what the best option was.
  • The best option would be... a BA (provided by Amex) or an Amex card :)

    Do a comparison on the Amex website and then use the Eligibility Checker to see what you may be eligible to apply for

    A good review of BA (Avios) cards here:
