This looks like an okay card to use abroad: Platinum travel credit card | Barclaycard
The free use abroad only applies for 5 years, after which fees become applicable - so ok if you remember to cancel it after 5 years. Halifax puts no time limit on its Clarity Card.
We transfer money electronically same day as using card and have not been charged any fees ....yet
It looks like the Halifax Clarity Card does not give an interest free period for cash transactions abroad:
Interest-free period
Maximum 56 days for purchases if you pay your balance in full (including any balance transfers and money transfers) by the payment due date and you also paid your previous month's balance in full by the due date.
No interest-free period cash transactions.
The Barclaycard Platinum Travel Card does for the next five years:
Up to 56 days interest free on all non-sterling cash withdrawals if you pay your main balance in full and on time each month
