    Lol it’s highly suspicious isn’t it :-)

    Anyway yeah I was basically wondering if there were any VISA cards I had missed on my search around.

    The reason I said to skip the big banks is I already knew about them and barring one product from Barclaycard which isn’t great and one from Nationwide which requires one of their current accounts, none of the other cards are that tempting to me. First Direct require a current account to get the good rates as well on looking.

    Didn’t think about Smile so that’s cool, probably wouldn't be one I'd go for but also saw the Co-Ops offerings which are VISA so that's two more I didn't know about.

    I know there’s a new fintech product launching soon that uses Visa but I’ve forgot there name - think they do rewards too which would be cool! (Found it; JaJa).

    So basically after a lot of looking the only really good reward-ish or low FX/abroad fee type cards are all basically MasterCard at the moment unless I'm missing something? (Barring the Nationwide Select card which needs a Nationwide Current Account of some sort and also excluding AMEX as I already have one).

    Thanks
    Thanks

    So why not do a switch to Nationwide FlexDirect with a referal, you'll get £100 for it (plus more of you then refer other people), you can earn 5% on £2500, and you can take out a Select Visa card.

    Thanks that’s not a bad idea!!! Wouldn’t hurt to have another current account either.

    Will think about that one.
    Thanks

    MasterCard do have debit cards in the UK.
    CYBG, Starling, Monzo all issue Mastercard debit cards.
