Review of the Barclaycard, Platinum credit cards:

On the ball

They're pretty fantastic, when someone tried to commit credit card fraud, they knew straight away & cancelled. Reviewed on: 8th December 2016

Barclaycard’s offers are frequent and good, their communication is top notch (do their utmost to remind you when payment is due) and you feel like your matter. The minimum repayment rates are a tad on the high side, but that’s the only (minor) complaint. Reviewed on: 13th June 2026

Not allowed to buydraw tickets

They have stopped me from buying draw tickets to win cars or motorcycles with both my cards saying the sites are blocked as gambling. They let me buy Omaze tickets to win a house though? I have phoned and asked several times for them to lift this restriction but they say they can’t? Why not? No answer. Reviewed on: 12th June 2026

Great credit card

The security is excellent and customer service good. When I needed help and support they were receptive to my explanation Reviewed on: 12th June 2026

Barclaycard Platinum

This is my primary credit card and has been for some time, however that says more about my laziness than product excellence. When I travel abroad I use another product, because even after 20 years plus as a customer, transactions are still charged for by Barclaycard and I refuse to pay this commission.

Brilliant Barclaycard 0% transfers

I keep a Barclaycard credit card as backup to the one I use more regularly but I have used it this year and seeral times in the past to transfer large balances from that other card to their long term excellent interest free offers and pay back the debt in a controlled way over that longer period while running day to day expenses on the other card. This has allowed me to complete the oayment for some large home improvement projects in a decent time frame without the hassle of applying for a loan and with only a transfer fee to oay rather than a lot of interest. The transfer process is super easy too. Reviewed on: 12th June 2026

On the odd occasion I have had a problem the customer service has been great. I like the more frequent need to get a code when spending online Reviewed on: 12th June 2026

I’ve had a positive experience with the Barclaycard Platinum Credit Card. It’s been a useful option for managing larger purchases and existing balances, especially with the 0% interest offers on purchases and balance transfers for eligible customers. The app and online account management are easy to use, making it simple to track spending, payments, and available credit. Barclaycard also offers balance transfer deals on selected Platinum cards, with promotional periods that vary depending on eligibility. Reviewed on: 5th May 2026
