Review of the Barclaycard, Initial Credit Card:

Not good

Using for months and i have noticed the account holder name is showing someone else’s name and i have contacted the customer care team several time and been to the bank as well… nothing happened and said it is not a technical issue… so I have paid all the balances and stopped using it Reviewed on: 13th January 2023

Barclaycard

Been with Barclaycard a few years and their service is reliable and trustworthy. Regular credit limit increase is also a bonus. Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

Easy to be approved

Was completely easy to set up the app is great and the 0% is for such a long time Reviewed on: 14th May 2017

Great if you want lots of letters upping your limit, but not if you just want to view your balance.

I ended up with a Barclaycard when they took over my original credit card company. When they first took over everything was great and all correspondence was paper based. When they moved over to online systems I ended up with almost weekly letters telling me I can have more and more credit with them, but getting logged into the system has been so far impossible. Their customer service staff have been less than helpful and as a result, I have no clue what my balance is and if I'm paying enough. I can't even pay it off. They are obviously so big that they don't value their customers anymore. Reviewed on: 10th May 2017

Understanding professional company

A company that is reliable and works with you. They treat you with respect and if on the rare occasion you can't make a payment, they help you to sort things out. Best company Reviewed on: 6th May 2017
