Is there any reason why I shouldn't use my UK credit card to purchase it from Barnes & Noble's website rather than NOOK UK ?
...I tried asking their support but they have trouble understanding my simple question !

The UK and US website have different Nook libraries (tested this with my own account), so you will have to sideload the books you buy from the US website.
You can use your PC to buy ebooks from the US website:
1. Use a different e-mail address to create an US B&N account (using the same e-mail address will probably work, but in case B&N finds out you are circumventing geo-restrictions it would be better to use a different e-mail addres).
2. Register this US account with an US shipping and billing address. Any valid address will do, just Google something. The billing address is not checked, so your UK credit card will work fine.
3. Install an US VPN on your PC to get an US IP-address. Hotspot Shield is a free US VPN (great if you just want to test this). Other cheap ones are AlwaysVPN and Tunnel Bear.
To buy ebooks using your PC first start the VPN. When the VPN is active go to the bn.com website and buy the books.
You can download the books from the B&N website, or use Nook for PC to download them.
Then use the USB cable to copy the books to your Nook.
