    I'm sure Nationwide credit cards are fee free too, but not saying that on the MSE page.
    Beware: Nationwide declined genuine transactions as suspected fraud and blocked my card. They took forever to answer the phone and promised to investigate and call me back, but did not. Really inconvenient in the UK, but would have been a nightmare if I were on holiday.
    Thankfully, I have other CCs which I can use.
    Always good to have a secondary payment method; even if charges the standard 2.99% as you can sort it out later.

    Does it need to be a credit card? Chase bank is fee free abroad and gives you 1% cashback.
