holiday credit card

tazg101

Hi, am going on holiday to america soon and will need a credit charge for un-expected payments. I've not got a credit at the moment so bit confused on which one I should get. I won;t be using it much, more than likely it will be used at the hotel once when booking in. Could anyone recommend me one please?

Any Nationwide card.

As above.

I would say that if you are going to pay it off in full, get the Nationwide Cash Reward card so you get an element of your money back!

There was a thread that suggested ppl weren't getting money back on overseas spending. I certainly did in the US in Feb/March this year, has anyone else been more recently to confirm that this is still the case?

One recommendation.

We got asked for ID when paying by Credit Card nearly everywhere we shopped in the States, so I would recommend either carrying around your Photo Driving Licence or Passport with you if you intend to make a purchase on your card.

As the above poster stated, the USA can be quite hot on needing photo ID. You should remember however that driving in ANY state in the US without carrying a driving license with you is against the law; so if you intend driving while out there you should have your ID with you anyway!

No longer get money back on spending abroad. I think this was brought in March / April this year.
