Not checked the T&C for your particular card?patanco said:I used my Barclaycard freedom rewards and was charged a lot of fees about £20 total what did I do wrong
There seem to be two different cards - Rewards and Freedom Rewards. For the latter I see:If you buy something with your card while your abroad, you’ll pay one single, non-sterling purchase fee of 2.99% every time you use it

It's only the Rewards card that is fee free when used as per terms and conditions.
