in Credit cards
Hi,
I purchase quite a bit of stuff in USD, but don't want to get a USD bank account. are there any uk credit cards that don't charge to buy in USD from a GBP account? at the moment im paying about 2.75% extra which quickly adds up.
i also pay in a lot of usd cheques, so if anyone knows of any bank that doesn't charge to put cheques in, that would be great too (not a big issue though natwest doesn't charge too much for this)
thanks

i tried to use Quidco when applying for my post office CC just now, and I got a message saying they couldn't authorise it online so would write to me - i guess that won't qualify for the cashback will it?unless it involves the 4 horsemen I'm sure it's not the end of the world....0
