Barclaycard said Britons spending online increased 12 per cent last month as overall spending rose.
The firm said total spending increased 4.1 per cent compared to a year earlier as shoppers spent more money at restaurants, cinemas and vacation breaks. It was the second time in four months that the increase in spending hit 4 per cent or more.
'Sentiment is clearly still fragile but the better performance we're seeing across a wide range of sectors suggests that the green shoots of a sustainable recovery may finally be taking hold,' said Barclaycard chief executive Valerie Keating.
