I have a prepaid credit card so it can be used where evere mastercard is accepted and I just pay money into it like an account (without interest obviously) but you do have to pay a monthly fee for the priviledge but at least I have a card that is accepted all over the world now and you can pay in a maximum of £999 a day upto a maximum on your card of £5,000.

Please don't get a card and think of only paying back the minimum. The interest rate is so terribly high that if you don't pay what you use, it very quickly becomes unmanagable.
How about a debit card on your account so you only use what you have, my daughter has this (then uses my card for other stuff and ends up owing me!)
Sorry if I sound pessimistic but you have to be so careful.

interest with drawing money on a credit card is very high sometimes double than making a purchse on one

if you use a card for purchase;s then shop around if its money withdrawl you want take out an overdraft the interest will very low if you have agreed a sum with your bank

I'd go the debit card route too. Credit card companies are only there to make money, and you will become another one of their debtors. I know, I have several, and wish I had none......
