Review of the Barclaycard, Platinum credit cards:

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

Great offer, smooth approval process

Great offer for interest-free balance transfer for 32 months. Smooth application process. Good communication on approval. While it's early days in my journey with Barclaycard, so far so good! Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Cannot trust anymore

I have been using Barclays since 3years but I can't use my debit card, it will always show some error even I enter right PIN number. Tried to order new card and pin so many times but same problem occur every time. Recently I applied for credit card I received both card and pin. After 1day I got letter that my credit card has been suspended I can't use it anymore. I tried to contact customer service. They told to wait for 6more months to apply for new credit card. How can I trust them again. I am not going to use this bank anymore and will never suggest others to use. Reviewed on: 8th February 2025

I could to use credit card only month and card suspended, why i don't know because i used only about 60%. In future I'll refuse Barcklay service. Reviewed on: 15th January 2025

Stay away fro Barclays!

If you ever want to dispute a charge, they'll side with the merchant, even though I sent them emails from the merchant stating they would credit my card back and failed to do so. Barclays still will not dispute the charge. Their call center is of course, overseas, and they are just "robots" that don't help at all. I'll have to file a suit against the merchant now. They do not protect their customers at all. Stay away from this card! Reviewed on: 23rd November 2024

A safe and unsecured card

I’v had Barclaycard for a number of years. Over the years I’v had to get them to get money back for goods that didn’t arrive. They are Quick to respond if there’s any suspicious activity on my account. I feel extremely safe with this Card and thank them for the service they have provided over the years.

0% money transfer for 20 months

Used my platinum card for a large transfer needed for a purchase. Have 20 months 0% to pay off the money transfer. App easy to use Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

It is impossible to contact this company.

It is impossible to contact this company. Endless automated phone menus, chat service doesn't work, app doesn't work and no way to talk to anyone. All I want to do is cancel my card. Reviewed on: 29th May 2024
