Best card for...

in Credit cards
Hi,

I'm looking for the best emergency credit card and holiday card. I would like to only own one card which as I said will only be used very occasionally in absolute emergencies, say if the car breaks down for example.

Also I was wondering if this card may double up as a good holiday card? Or should I steer clear of using a credit card abroad.

Advise would be appreciated...

Grant

    nationwide have no foreign currency loading on usage abroad whilst most others charge 2-3% fee.
    I would suggets however, using the card regularly (say buying petrol ) but paying it off in full each month (set up a DD for the full amount).
