Have the Clarity and the Halifax reward, now the Revolut so it looks like Chase is the way to go for another option and everyday use.bioboybill said:I've just been away in Spain for 30 days. I mostly used my Chase card and got 1% cashback on transactions, but I also had my Halifax Clarity, Monzo and Revolut card and used all of those to pay in Euros with no problems. It's always a good idea to have a few choices in case of problems or if a card gets declined for whatever reason.All of those card have great exchange rates. The £200 limit with Revolut only applies to ATM withdrawals. It's actually £200 or 5 withdrawals, whichever comes first.
I also have all of those added to my Yougov Finance account, so good to have a few transactions on each for that. If you have a Halifax Reward account Revolut allows you to add £500 to your account through your Halifax Reward debit card to qualify for £5 cashback from Halifax each month in true MSE style.😉
Much prefer to use my hard earned cash on ourselves instead of giving it to some financial outfit.
