This is not a new sea
or maybe not even a deal as such. I've had this card for a while and used to pay in local currency or withdraw cash when abroad. There are no atm withdrawal or currency exchange fees so you get near enough the best exchange rate. You only have to pay interest on amounts withdrawn and if you pay in full every month then this is usually minimal. I thought it was worth a post given the good exchange rate for the euro. I just bought a DSLR lens from Amazon France saving £50 (including delivery charges)on Amazon UK and other UK new prices including eBay. There are potentially many similar deals if you compare prices on Amazon France, Amazon Germany etc

Plus £5 a month bonus if you have a Halifax current account and spend £300 on it. With the £5 i receive from my current account which i pay my wages into I am bringing in £120 a year. No fees because i pay off card and don't use the overdraft. There's no benefit in switching.

Freezing COOOLLLLLLDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to say, since I had this card, whenever and wherever I go, I never have to worry about exchange rates and service charges, as long as that cash machine doesn't charge anything, I am totally safe.
To be honest, it's the best high street credit card so far,
Don't charge me " ridiculous " rates, in fact they don't charge me anything.
Never had a problem with them.
Just over 1.34. at this moment.
early morning is usually when credit security checks go awol... best to try again in the morning...
Looking on the Mastercard conversion rates it does appears pretty good for a credit card.
only reason they are still there is because we bailed them out

It's great for atm withdrawals, still chargs for using in shops.
Lol at misspelling mis-sell with misspell :-)
Have to say like a few others I have found Halifax fine. My Clarity card is ace other than needing to call them before going away (though last time I did they said they were adding that function to the website in future). My mortgage with them was able to accept a complex situation and gave a very good rate. My reward bank account with them has replaced 2 phones and taken my girlfriend's car home when it broke down with me in it. The only bad thing I have had is that the Home Emergency Cover was worse than useless. They took till 36hrs after reported burst pipe to send their plumber out. The plumber then said because the burst pipe was behind tiles it would need to refer to a claim handler. A couple more days waiting going no where I couldn't do without water any longer so just called a plumber and they didn't pay anything out towards the cost.
Grow up. The poster said about 1.36 which is not the same as IS 1.36...1.344368 is the latest mastercard exchange rate which about 1.36. It's a GOOD indicative figure of the current exchange rate.
