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

Barclaycard are quite expensive to use- they are very sturdy and the credit card does what it says on the tin, however I might look elsewhere for another credit card next. They also have a habit of increasing your credit rating without warning and it seems like a lot of effort to make sure they don't. Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

The best credit card app?

5
Have loved my experience with Barclaycard since taking it almost 9 months ago. Slick, easy online application, super fast funds and great day to day management. Really tailored offers relevant to my needs and great rates. 10/10 Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

Great balance transfer experience

I transferred a balance into a Barclaycard because I was offered a sweet deal and it's very slick. The phone app is very good, allows you to do everything you need. Best of all is that the minimum payments are quite beefy, which is great if you're trying to pay something off. The minimum payments are quite a chunk bigger than the ones on the card I took the balance from which I think is a good thing. Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

Needed a card with a 0% deal in order to transfer an outstanding credit amount to. This was very easy to set up and functioned well. No nasty surprises, all pretty easy. Reviewed on: 8th May 2017
