You can pre-register your interest for this card being launched nationwide in the summer.
You link it to your bank card (similar to paypal for instance) and can then use it for bank withdrawals and purchases abroad (worldwide, excluding UK) which you then don't pay exchange fees on as it debits your account in Pounds Sterling. The exchange rate charged on my Trial card was the Visa exchange rate so much better than buying foreign currency also.
The trial was launched last year so you can find last year's deal and more info by searching 'supercard' on HDUK. It has been great for me after using it in USA, Vietnam and Cambodia to name a couple of places and it really impressed me so thought I would actually try sharing for the 1st time.
It comes with an App which allowed me to see exactly what I was being debited for transactions, what i had saved by using it and allowed me to only have the card active whilst travelling.
Sorry if I've missed anything, as I said, never tried posting before I just took advantage of a couple of deals including this one thanks to someone else who posted
But looking at Revolut, that needs you to add money to a wallet, IE you are transferring money out of your account and into an account held by Revolut. With Supercard you are simply linking your debit card so you retain the money.

I have both. Revolut only allows you £500 cash withdrawal per month. then 2% fees and you have to load the card first. Supercard they take from your account what you spend and you can link your credit card. Not only debit card like Revolut

I use the Halifax Clarity credit card and get a fiver a month for doing so. But good for those who don't/can't get one. Well done OP. Heat.

oddly Germany is way behind with credit cards. been caught before with cash only petrol stations, and unmanned pumps that refuse mastercard.

Spend £300 a month plus have a Halifax reward current account (and get another £5 for that) - I know because I have this card too.
