Review of the Barclaycard, Platinum credit cards:

Worst Customer Service ever

1
After excepting a credit card offer from Barclays through my AARP membership, I immediately gave them information for two balance, transfers. The balance transfers with 0% interest were the sole reason I excepted the credit card offer to begin with. After waiting a few weeks, one of my statement still was not reflecting that the transfer has been made.. When I contacted Barclays, they told me that it failed to process, but they could not tell me why. When I asked how to resolve it, they said they could not help me as it had been over 45 days and I was required to do the transfer in that time period. I spoke with a customer care center supervisor named Kevin, who assured me that he could see that I had provided all information necessary for the balance transfer well ahead of the 45 days. However, since there was a problem on their end (one, they never made any attempt to resolve) he was not able to resubmit it. He acknowledged that I provided all the information to them for the balance transfer well within the required timeline. However, despite it, not being my fault, they could not resubmit and would not honor the original offer. He also assured me that I would be wasting my time to try and escalate it further as he was the final authority, and there was no one else that it could be escalated to. Reviewed on: 21st June 2023

Operated by robots

Despite being a Barclays Bank customer for MANY years, Barclaycard treated me like a new customer, with a derisory credit limit. Their non-native English speaking hotline agent called (from a witheld number, probably in Asia) and tried to explain that I need to build up a "credit history" which is unlikely, since I have never needed to borrow money! Not worth the space in my wallet - account closed, card destroyed. Reviewed on: 26th April 2018
