One simple rate & no usage fees - however and wherever you use your Clarity Credit Card.

I stopped using mine when they removed the cash back (get £5 when you spend over £300) end of last year. Although I've kept hold of it for foreign travel.

WRONG! Always, always, ALWAYS do the transaction in the local currency. Then the card gives you the exchange rate there and then. If you do the transaction in GPB then the shop/cash machine will do the conversion and give you an absolutely rubbish exchange rate.

Excellent for foreign travel, and as well as no fees you get a much better exchange rate as well. Heat added. :sunglasses:

How does this card compare to Revolut?

for starters this is a regular credit card that fits in your wallet - whereas Revolut is an unusable app if you are not of the mobile phone app generation (and have no wish to join them :smiley: )

I've had this card for a number of years. I always use it for purchasing abroad but I thought I was charged if I took cash out of a cash machine while abroad.

You only pay interest on cash withdrawals from the time of withdrawal until you pay off but there is no cash withdrawal fee like other credit cards

Revolut send you a physical card.
Revolut is pre-paid and therefore suffers from the usual difficulties associated with those types of card (I.e no offline authorisation).
I personally have a Nationwide Select CC which also has no fees abroad on purchases. Combined with the Nationwide FlexPlus (free cash withdrawals abroad but £10 fee for the account- plus other benefits) works out excellently.
Am I right in thinking that the Clarity starts incurring interest on the day of the transaction therefore you need to pay it off instantly to avoid charges ?

stand corrected on Revolut
partly true, ie on cash withdrawals, yes it's interest charged from day 1 - but not on foreign purchases

Brilliant for overseas holidays. Highly recommended.
