I want to get a credit card so I can book our holiday easily, Iv never had one before, and dont understand much about them.
Can anyone suggest a good credit card that i could apply for?

pretty much all the same.
get an egg card as its all done over the net, meens you can just get one over the net, easy to deal with it aswell.
just remeber to pay the balance off within a month then you wont inccur intrest costs

Why not just not get one...save up like you should, then pay with your debit card.

why credit cards are great and very convinient, not much to understand either, you pay for something tht ammount gets put on the credit card, if you pay it back within the month you dont pay any extra, if you pay it back after wards in smaller ammount you get charged intrest.
credit cards are great just dont abuse them.

From experience, it's best to live within your means.
You'll not only appreciate your purchase even more because you've saved up. You'll also not have the old problem of having to pay it back later.

I've got ne, mainly for expenses from work. Put them on the card then pay it back when the expenses come through.
TBH if you are careful with it then you'll be alright.
However, if you pay for a lot of things on it, and rack up thousands and miss payments, thats when the problems are likely to start. Thankfully I'm not talking from experience though
