Barclays Reward card and have been using this for the past couple of years.

Note no hidden charges that I am aware of. No fees and the exchange rate is calculated at the Std Visa competitive rate at the time of the transaction. This was a ‘WHICH recommended BEST BUY!!

It is an old article but I believe is still true..
I couldn't find any evidence on the Which? website to suggest that Barclay's reward card is a best buy... in my experience, not one of the major clearing banks can provide overseas spending cheaper than Starling or Chase..

That equates to a spend of some 2600 euros plus?

you sound like my accounts lady, she was all over that job on Wednesday, from memory overseas fuel £480.00 (Outlander Commercial - it’s a PHEV 27mpg) 14 hotel rooms (2 separate rooms for two old blokes) £1500.00, tolls (forgot my Bip n Go) £148.00, meals about £450.0, extra equipment from Costarama probably made up the rest - it soon goes Jim - I promise you I’m not making it up and with an ordinary Tesco Clubcard there is a 2.75% transaction fee - all came to just over £60.00
