Review of the Barclaycard, Freedom Rewards Credit Card:

Barclaycard Interest Rates the Best

I’ve had a Barclaycard credit card for over 5 years and the standard interest rate has always been the lowest on the market. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024

It's okay...

I've has this credit card for 3 years now. I've spent well over £8000 on it and still haven't earned enough points to even get a £10 voucher, so it's not great if you want to be rewarded. Having said this, my APR is relatively low so I'm happy with it. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2016

great cashback card

accepted almost everywhere and offers great cashback rates. my primary cashback card is amex so having a more widely accepted alternative is essential. the rates and offers aren't quite as good as amex though so make sure you get both! Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Great!

Great credit card. Been using for about 2 years and never had any trouble with it. Reviewed on: 19th February 2016

Barclaycard Freedom Rewards

I upgraded to this card from a Barclaycard Initial with no problems. My credit limit remained the same though, £500, which I was able to increase instantly online. I was able to build up the reward points quite easily, converting them into Boots vouchers, which come in very handy at this time of year! They're not the most generous reward credit card out there but customer service is always efficient and I really like that I can see exactly what I'm spending online. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Excellent

Very grateful to Barclays, had a bad credit rating but running this card to boost it up. I can safely say so far so good. Reviewed on: 11th November 2015

good

good credit card for daily use and the points to redeem for rewards mount up quickly Reviewed on: 27th August 2015

rubbish service, always blocking my card

According to Barclaycard, I have an 'unusual spending pattern'. My card is frequently blocked. When I go to use it it gets declined and I am asked to ring Barclaycard. I've asked them (several times) to stop blocking it. Staff on the phone are often rude and not helpful. Barclaycard don't try to ring and speak to me before blocking. When I ring up about my blocked card I have to wait on the phone (not a free number) to speak to the 'Fraud' department, with no apology for making me miss purchases. It's frustrating and I am unable to trust the card. I now refuse to use this card and my new Halifax card has never been blocked and im spending the same amounts. Reviewed on: 20th April 2015

Great reward! Great Service!

I applied for Barclaycard to earn reward. They sent me my new credit card within a few days. This card comes with a great reward program. You can easily redeem points with your choices of gift cards or products via their user family website. This card also comes with many card benefits and protections. I once had a question regarding the card, and their phone customer service was also great. I was connected to a live representative quick and my concern was completely addressed. I would definitely recommend this card to anyone. Reviewed on: 17th April 2015

I have had a very good experience with this card and no surprises on billing and charges.

Barclay cards are easy to use. They are customer focused and always alert their customers in changes of their accounts. They are very easy to deal with and contact and their interest rates are fair depending on your credit score. Reviewed on: 13th April 2015
