The commission-free withdrawals abroad were offered at the wholesale VISA rate. Nationwide didn't take any vig.

Their "Select credit card" still offers EUR and USD purchases with no surcharge and no vig.

I'm pretty sure the Halifax card I mentioned gives the Visa wholesale rate too. I generally get same rate as quoted on FX sites anytime I've checked it.
