Using Club Lloyds card in Spain.

Whenever I've gone to Spain I've always loaded a chase card up which gives you no fees with transactions plus the exchange rate is as good as your gonna get it.
I've found out that I can actually use my Lloyds Card abroad now with no fees, I have the Club Lloyds card with no fees anymore but I don't know about the exchange rate and if it's perfect like Chase would be or would they set their own rates?.

I always pay in euros abroad on my card.
Does anyone know if I'll benefit exactly the same with my club Lloyds card or would chase still top it?

    They should both use the card network exchange rate, but the Chase card is a Mastercard and the Lloyds card is a Visa, so they'll differ slightly.
