    The "best" card for you depends on what you're looking for.

    Are you looking for the cheapest way to borrow money to spend abroad? Are you looking to earn rewards? Will you be spending a few hundred, or a few thousand GBP equivalent?

    Or are you just looking for the cheapest way to spend abroad? In which case you may not need a credit card at all.
  • Aqua rewards card is good for me. 
    ...but who is doing any traveling?

    Aqua Rewards has also been withdrawn for now. It would still depend on what the card is for but the reward Barclaycard is probably amongst the best, given you pay off all your abroad spending on the next statement.

    Barclaycard Rewards is worthwhile. Halifax Clarity, Tandem Journey are worth looking at to

    Just what do you class as international spending?
    Taking cash from ATM overseas, point of sale overseas or just making a online purchase from a non UK company?
