We tend to just use our debit card everywhere, and maybe once or twice at an ATM in the fortnight.

My advice is worth no more than the price paid for it

There is no charge on the Halifax Clarity card if you pay the balance off in full and the payment reaches them by the date on the monthly bill.

This is a quote from their site "No interest will be charged on purchases if every statement balance is paid in full by the payment date".

Sorry for the duff info. I should have know that Martin Lewis didn`t have a clue when it comes to selecting the best credit or debit card.

yes that is a fact, because it does no take into account ones earnings, and sarcasm does not become you

They most likely only offered a maximum credit of £600 based on your earnings, which if only a state pension then the credit offered would be about right.

As I have said in an earlier post I have been retired for 10 years and instantly got a credit limit of £4.5k most likely because I have a very good works pension. I am not yet in receipt of a state pension.

Like you I also have thousands in the bank, but they do not take that into consideration as they want to know about earnings/income.

I still believe the way for you is to open a current account with the Norwich & Peterborough Building Society.

I have a Post Office Mastercard and a Nationwide visa as back up - solely for foreign transactions.  0% commision of that is what you are looking for.  Credit limit is a personal item so they will offer you whatever they see as appropriate  - in their eyes
