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

DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING BARCLAYCARD

DO NOT TAKE OUT A CREDIT CARD WITH BARCLAYS. I TOOK OUT A CREDIT AS I WAS OFFERED 0% INTEREST RATE AS LONG AS I MAKE THE MINIMUM PAYMENT EACH MONTH. THE FIRST FEW MONTHS WAS FINE. I WAS NOT CHARGED ANYTHING, UNTILL ... THE CHAGED THE T&C WHEN I WAS -£3000. THEY BEGAN CHARGING ME £100 A MONTH INTEREST, AND THEY WAITED FOR MY CREDIT CARD TO BE MAXED OUT AS THEY CAN "UPDATE INTEREST CHARGE WITHOUT NOTICE" IM NOW RACING TO PAY THIS OFF AS £100 INTEREST A MONTH IS CRAZYYY. I'VE TRIED TO CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICR BUT NOBODY GETS BACK TO YOU. PLEASE LEARN FROM MY EXPERIENCE DO NOT BE TEMPTED BY THE 0% OFFER AS THEY CAN CHANGE THIS WITHOUT NOTICE, BARCLAYS BANK PRAY ON VUNERABLE PEOPLE. BE AWARE! Reviewed on: 27th May 2023

Easy and Simple

Really good product and easy application. Nice card as well. But the integration with other services such as GPay or APay could be better and would make it more usable daily. Reviewed on: 11th April 2023

safe credit card

Difficult to contact

I cannot pay on line with my new Barclaycard and even though I have spoken to them after a very lengthy wait to get through it is still not sorted. Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

Pestered in the post

Had credit card number of years ago, was advised in order to close would have to go into high street branch (which is nowhere near me) so I left the card with 0 balance. Every few weeks would receive junk mail with offers of new cards and better rates which i had no interest in. eventually managed to close via app very recently which ended up being so easy and simple.
