Have just looked into Halifax Clarity account which has no fee.
However in their terms and conditions

- The credit limit is £1,200 you make a single Purchase of this amount immediately and you repay this amount over one year by 12 equal monthly payments.

As interest is levied on these credit repayments, there would seem to be hidden fees after all.
If it seems too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true

As we only use the card for fuel and the odd toll if we ever use it, the amount of difference is probably marginal.

Luckily, we sold the trailer tent in Holland for cash in euros, and are still knee deep in them for our current trips

The euro exchange rate is now creeping up, and whilst it's not quite at the rate quoted in the original post the interbank rate is now 1.30781!!!!

We don't use a Halifax Clarity Card for cash withdrawals - we keep the N and P cards for that - but do use it or our Nationwide cards for purchases - which like the last poster we pay off as soon as (or before) the payment is due.  Our N and P account is topped up as required with on-line (on holiday) banking!

Our credit limit is different again to that quoted in SGT's post or in the last post.

Wow 1.3 € to the £ just had a look, and that is the best it has been since 2008.

Where will it end I wonder?
