Review of the Barclaycard, Initial Credit Card:

Best card ever

Great starter card for building credit and you can change limits after a while, I would definitely recommend. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2016

ok

they are ok but they never increase my credit amount Reviewed on: 17th March 2021

Hard to use

Too many security questions to access online banking, but very easy to get large credit limit Reviewed on: 22nd February 2021

Great Credit-Card

I have a basic barclaycard and I am very happy with it. The rewards system is easy to understand as well. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Terrible for mobile banking.

The mobile app has always been pretty bad but the shortcomings have been amplified due to Covid. 1000's of people have struggled to pay their bills from within the app for months. None of the issues have been fixed yet. Reviewed on: 4th July 2020

Credit card review for Barclaycard

I have mixed views on this. The positives are that you can get quite a high credit limit if needed which is extendable, their phone call support system and website are quite responsive and helpful. The negative is the APR is a little higher compared to others. Also you do tend to get quite a few emails form them which could be considered a little spammy, but you can probably opt out of some of them. Reviewed on: 28th April 2020

Bunch of idiots

Barclaycard claim to offer a first class service to ALL their customers - what a load of rubbish - go with someone else - it will be much easier, trust me Reviewed on: 17th October 2019

A great credit card to have if you are not good on credit

They have good interest and credit limits on this card. They will not let you go over and tell you when you have spent over Reviewed on: 23rd June 2019
