Review of the Barclaycard, Platinum Credit Card:

Cashback reduction

I used the card for four years having got it for the market leading 2% cashback at the time - despite having to use amex. over the years they've eroded that rate and they're now telling me i'm at 0.5% so i'm jumping ship. It's a shame because the app is really nice and managing the account has mostly been a breeze, but without any benefits, i'll balance transfer to a 0% card and at least get the benefit of not having to pay it. Customer service when needed is not great - with the only real option being to call with long wait times and foreign call centres Reviewed on: 28th June 2017

Barclaycard services

I have been dealing with barclaycard services over a decade and recently they have been awful in terms of the services and resolution to complaints. Reviewed on: 17th March 2022

Good service

Problem solvers when you’re not treated fairly. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2022

Arrogant customer service agent

I sought some clarification on a transaction a while ago. Person I dealt with was so arrogant and annoying. He was adamant he was right and I was wrong. He even got angry with me for asking him to repeat himself and for asking his name! When I complained to someone in his department I was told I wouldn't be getting a call back to tell me about the outcome of my complaint!!!! Reviewed on: 8th February 2022

Extreme delay with Section 75 claim

Made a Section 75 claim on my Barclaycard Platinum Visa card some three weeks ago. Did not hear anything and could not get through on the phone - after multiple attempts manged to speak to someone on the Consumer Credit Card Team who could not find me on the system but suggested that my letter had been forwarded to another team that deals with Section 75 claims and which is currently working through a backlog dating from late December. I was told that I might have to wait twelve weeks for a reply! If this is the case then there is something seriously wrong with Barclaycard. Or are they going to blame it all on Covid?

Another good credit card

Good and fair interest rate with a good easy to use app Reviewed on: 25th January 2022

False information and lies

So I only got a Barclaycard 4 days ago and it is quite unbelievable how many times I phoned because they asked ,and yet total time either on hold or listening to music before they hung up got to over 8 hours,I was given wrong information regarding balance transfers, withdrawal, rates and promised call backs ?? I had the embarrassing situation of transaction declined yet money available,I had the lady on the phone saying she filed a complaint and would receive a call back today definitely yet that was 61/2 hours ago and just found out she actually lied No complaint filed,no call back and offered me a£50 gesture of goodwill to go away!!! While employees work from home,I understand but giving false or wrong information has consequences,and mine were very stressful and not happy ones Would I continue with them I doubt it at some stage All you want is good efficient,honest correct information not much more ,and don't get me wrong 90% are fantastic but clearly some are not interested in customer service Reviewed on: 23rd January 2022
