How do credit cards work in the UK?

Question

Can I get a credit card for free that doesn't charge me anything, ever, as long as I pay off what I spend on it? If so, can I automatically pay off the card if it gets used so I don't even need to worry about paying it off? Which providers offer this?

Answer 1

They work the same as here in the US.  No credit card provider gives free service.  They are in business to make money too.

Answer 2

All credit card providers.  As long as you payoff your balance EVERY MONTH then you have no interest owed.
