Good overseas spending card

5
I got a Halifax Clarity Card to use on holiday abroad, so I wouldn’t be charged foreign exchange fees. I was really pleased to find that the exchange rate is actually better than I could get for changing my cash in advance, so avoids having to change too much cash and then lose out if I have any left.

CREDIT CARD CUSTOMER SERVICE APPALLING

1
THE CREDIT CARD IN ITSELF IS GOOD FOR USE ABROAD. BUT if you get a problem customer service is ignorant. I had over £1000 in credit in my account which i had written to them in writing several times to return my money, four months later no response, so I wrote a formal complaint suddenly my money was back in my account but still no letter of apology nothing. Also had my card blocked so many times, I write due to disability you get no response, you ask for reasonable adjustment and nothing is done so very discriminatory as a whole as no facilities for people who can't use phones due to disability, the bank staff have no answer either or do anything about it. My Father now is trying to get his money back under section 75 being sold faulty goods, two and a half months later still not even acknowledgment of the letter so now going to formal complaint and ombudsman if he has too. Reviewed on: 17th June 2020

I have always had great customer service from Halifax, I really like the Clarity credit card for travel and any other service I've ever had from them has been great. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2020

Halifax covid 19 card "holiday"

1
My elderly Parents recieved an email asking if they wish to take a payment holiday because of the awful situation and they didn't know whether we between the family would get out and be able to pay their clarity card invoices as they would be on total lockdown. The last 2 months we have managed to get out and pay them in full yet Halifax have still charged interest even though they should not because they agreed to take a payment holiday. They payment holiday is being used by Halifax as an excuse to charge vulnerable people and of course charge interest which has not been accrued. Making money in such a way while making out it is somehow helping you is totally despicable and as such we will be getting legal advice. You should be ashamed Reviewed on: 26th May 2020

Good for spending abroad, bad for paying off early

3
This is a great credit card for spending while abroad at a really good rate. I was a big fan but then they changed the system for paying off the debt early (it would no longer reduce the direct debit charge, and I kept ending up in credit) and if you wanted to stop paying twice you had to cancel and restart the direct debit each time which is just a massive hassle. This wouldn't be such a problem if it weren't for the fact that ATM withdrawals start charging interest straight away, insentivising you to pay that debt back as soon as possible.
