I used to be just like you and was totally against credit cards.Learnt my mistake the hard way when an airline I had booked with went bust and I lost my money.
Just set up a direct debit and pay in full each month.
I'll probably give up my amex spg which I had been using on EK till the MBNA arrived.
One more card that I'm planning to apply for is the Diners club charge card.Unlimited free UK and several international lounge access not EK!!(similar to priority pass) for £50 a year.(and Just £19 for an additional cardholder) .
That's me and mrsukdoctor's lounge access sorted and I can cancel my Priority pass.
