What card for spending in Europe?

[hellorent]

There is only one correct answer to this:

1. BarclayCard Rewards for Mon-Fri.
2. Revolut for conversion Mon-Fri and spending on Sat/Sun.

Clarity got binned from the list because it has cash advance charges when you use overseas ATMs. It never used to.

Are you sure it charges: https://www.halifax.co.uk/creditcards/travel.html

Yes unless they've changed it back

The Virgin Atlantic cards have no FX fees in the Eurozone and some other European countries and have a better earning rate than the Barclaycard, so it's another good option. But, it does have cash advance fees, FX fees in other countries and you may not value earning Virgin points.
