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

It has been great, I was offered credit card without banking with them, the bank I have been with for two years declined my credit card request because I have not lived in the country for 3 years but Barclay gave it to me on a flatter of gold. God bless all the staff in Barclay, they are life safer and I am now switching my other bank to them except Chase. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

Hard to get contact special on line but over the phone tools longer. From when I was decreasing my limit it’s never gives me more that I was decided back to previous one. Now decided reduced my limit for my better future. That means bank knows better how is my future? Without asking me. Reviewed on: 18th January 2024
