Service is not very helpful and always takes such a long time to resolve my issues. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2016

great to use abroad no charges in the EU

5
Use this in the EU and there are no charges like other credit cards. In the UK you get money discounts/ offers, at selected retailers, which change once in a while, online at my rewards with Nationwide. Reviewed on: 8th May 2016

Credit card accepted everywhere

We have had the Nationwide Select Credit card for a number of years ad never experienced any problems using online or instore. The interest charged for this card is a reasonable 15.9% if you have a Nationwide current account, as we have. Also, the interest rate can be avoided completely if you pay the outstanding amount in full, as we do. Cashback is 0.5% when spending on this card, and there are more attractive rates of cashback offered by other banks and building societies. However, I like to have a credit card with my main building society, and the Select credit card is easy to use, with a credit limit suitable for our needs. The card also gives access to various rewards offered by Nationwide, as there rarely seems anything we need. For a simple and easy to use credit card, I would recommend the Select. Reviewed on: 6th May 2016

Earn credit to use abroad

I've always received a great service from Nationwide credit card. I like that you can build up a reserve of credit which you can use abroad for free exchanges. So you are charged any exchange fees. Reviewed on: 6th May 2016
