Is Barclaycard going to charge me a fee or not?

There's conflicting information on their website about this, the chat bot doesn't work and I'm currently abroad so can't call...

I have a Barclaycard Rewards credit card. Their website seems to say on one hand that there are 0% fees for withdrawing non-sterling cash abroad. But on the other they also tell me that if I use my card to withdraw cash I need to pay a 2.99% fee.

Which is it? Has anyone used their Barclaycard rewards credit card to withdraw cash abroad and not be charged a fee?

The reason I want to use it abroad is because they are Visa and I'm going to Madagascar which prefers visa at their ATMs

WHY has there been an increase lately in the number of people thinking you need an apostrophe to make something a plural. It is commonly done after a word ending in a vowel or y. Why now? We were never taught this stupidity at school. It's on the up. Normal and smart people are doing it too, it's not just the idiots.

Examples:

"Thanks for making our life's complete" written by a solicitor

"Does anyone have any story's to share"

"They are all hero's"

And my personal favourite on my dad's shopping list:

"Onion's"

Hello, my husband and I are coming to Bosnia on 8 May. We kind of forgot that there would still be snow in the mountains. Stupid, I know. Can you recommend some good hikes for us that won't have too much snow please? We have a car. Nothing too cityish.

I am a bit of a preacher that underlying law doesn't really get tested in SQE2. Of course you need to know what a breach of contract is but will you get asked an entire legal writing on a frustrated contract, no. People don't believe me and write on here that it is as likely to come up as the practice areas - which simply isn't true. But anyway, I'm curious...were there any entire underlying law questions in this round of SQE2?

So, I'm allergic to lentils, chickpeas, peas, peanuts. If I have them or anything containing lentil flour/protein etc, my throat will go itchy and close up and I don't feel well. I can eat all other types of beans and legumes (as far as I am aware).

However, for all my life I've eaten at Indian restaurants and eaten the poppadoms without even thinking about it. I've never had an allergic reaction. Only recently when I went to a friend's house and they served shop bought poppadoms did I check the ingredients and saw "lentil flour". So I didn't have any. When I Google it says that most restaurants use lentil flour to make their poppadoms.

I'm confused. How have I never had a reaction to a restaurant poppadom? Are they actually made with something else? Or I've got lucky and the restaurants I've eaten at have used a different flour?

TLDR: allergic to lentils but not poppadoms even though they are meant to contain lentil flour. How?
