Review of the Barclaycard, Platinum Credit Card:

Generally good but some issues using it abroad

I have had this card for several years but I have had a few issues with it. Barclaycard say that you don't need to inform them if you are going away yet I always do as I choose not to take my mobile or computer with me when I travel abroad so I can't be contacted. One example of a problem was that after a trip to Iceland I came home to find several messages left on my landline to say someone had attempted to use my card fraudulently. I cancelled the card, paid for a credit check and worried a lot about what may happened but it eventually turned out that it was when my partner and I had had several unsuccessful attempts at using a 'pay at the pump' petrol station in Iceland. Yet Barclaycard hadn't previously been able to give us any details of the so called 'fraud' which caused us so much worry. I ended up taking out another credit card with a different company just to use abroad that allows you to put your travel details into their website. Other than that they are a good card provider. I can't comment on their interest rates as these days I just use it as a safe way to pay online and I pay the bill immediately. Reviewed on: 6th May 2016

Simple

No problems with them at all, when calling for simple enquiries they not only sort out the query but also anticipate a need you hadn't thought of. Regularly get great 0% offers through for balance transfers and cash, I have 4 other credit cards with other companies none of which have the same level of service. I feel secure and trust the bank without them putting unnecessary 'DPA' barriers in place. (this review is from someone that has worked in consumer credit loans for 8 years).

Balance tranfers

I use the balance transfers to manage my reducing balance across several cards, on normal debt though the interest is high when your credit rating is good. Reviewed on: 7th November 2018
