Why am I struggling to find such a thing? I only have MasterCard's and Amex and thought it might be safe to get a VISA card on the off chance something happened to MasterCard and I couldn't use it. 
Obviously I want a rewards card of sorts. Cashback ideally but avios would be ok.  but can't find one?? Am I being blind? Loads of other countries have visa rewards cards.

    I guess you never tried an internet search? Had you tried it you would have discovered the Barclaycard Rewards card which is a visa credit card.
    Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:

    Why are people so unbelievably toxic on this forum? You do realise there are 100x more civil ways to word and phrase your post??

    As for Barclay card. Yes I saw this. But at 0.25% didn't even really consider it a proper rewards card. So I will rephrase. 

    Is there a visa rewards card other than Barclaycard. Something worthwhile. Something to rival MasterCard offerings or other countries.

    Because sometimes it’s astonishing how lax or lazy people are in doing research for themselves first before asking someone/where for help.

    As others have pointed out you have been really lazy, I simply entered in my search bar rewards credit cards and hey presto it gave me a list of options.

    What you consider not to be a proper rewards card, others may find it to be a good rewards card.

    No -  0.25% cashback is about as good as it gets with Visa in this country. What were you expecting, a 25% cashback card?

    Yet more example of the toxicities!

    25% ??? Don't be so absurd.

    It's not laziness. I knew about the Barclay card. I was after a selection of cards, or more cards, or cards with at least 0.5% cashback or, as I said, avios.

    Only Amex offers Avios, or the HSBC Premier cards. 
    MSE also has a page for recommended rewards cards.

    The card commission rates have been pushed downwards by regulators, sometimes maybe half a per cent maybe less, so there's hardly any space left to pay cashback on cards that are paid in full each month.
