Great card, great deals, great online banking

5
What I love about this card is this online banking. Everything is laid out simply so you can find what you need. On the homepage it lets you know in advance when your interest free periods are ending rather than having to locate this on the statement like with some other cards. This card also has long interest free periods on balance transfers and cash transfers which are updated monthly. Reviewed on: 24th January 2017

Barclaycard are ahead of the game

I can not recommend barclaycard enough. having been a customer for 5 years they have always enticed me to stay by making sure their offers are relevant and suit my needs. 0% on transactions and cash withdrawls abroad, an easy to use app, the option to transfer money to your current account via the app and a fraud team that are fast to detect suspicious activity on your account. They quickly prevented £2000 worth of transactions that werent made by me and declined them. 2 had already been approved before they detected the fraud but they refunded the money back for those on to my card in less than a week. Excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 19th January 2017

Easy and quick set up

I can access and view my balance easily on my mobile phone, in addition I can apply for a balance transfer offer at the click of a button ... saves me so much time Reviewed on: 12th January 2017

Easy to apply and use

I got this card to do a credit transfer, It was so easy, the rates are 0% for 36 months and transfer fee was low. Happy days Reviewed on: 11th January 2017

Balance transferred with ease...

4
Managed to sort a balance transfer, via their app, in a matter of minutes. I did have a couple of issues & would recommend using their social media team over their call centre as they're much better Reviewed on: 28th December 2016

Long 0% interest for purchases

4
I did a credit card eligibility checker and had a high chance of being approved for this card. I trust the Barclaycard brand too. You get an online account which has an easy to use layout. On your account I have offers to transfer balances from previous cards and money transfers to bank accounts but I do not require either. Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

Reliable service

3
Easy to use app to manage my credit card finances, overall happy with the services Reviewed on: 20th December 2016

Make it impossible to leave

3
What can I say.... tried calling and leaving 4 times each time barring the last I gave up and told them to leave it active. Each time asking to leave for 10 minutes to oh I recommend you stay that's it! Only time I managed to get them to cancel is by raising a complaint about their service. Great credit card when you're with them but when leaving they are a nightmare. Reviewed on: 19th December 2016

Never any problems with Barclaycard
