JL/Waitrose card(s) are a waste of time. I’ve had this card (John Lewis / Waitrose) for some years now. I used to get a set of 5 Waitrose money-off vouchers each week from which I could choo... Read more Reviewed on: 17th October 2024

Customer service slow to respond

2
Good points system, but customer service very slow to respond via telephone or website. Good service if you have the time to go into their store. Reviewed on: 8th June 2017

awful company, shocking

absolutely no support at all for your purchases Reviewed on: 25th May 2017

Mixed bag

3
Customer service - especially on the phone - is good. Website is awful however and making payments is a chore Reviewed on: 2nd May 2017

great rewards on this card

4
we love how quickly the reward vouchers add up - and because they are john lewis vouchers you get - i can use them for my grocery shopping at waitrose which is great and practical. Other credit card rewards had become so bad that this really is a good option. Reviewed on: 30th April 2017

Rubbish Travel Money site does not work

1
Trying to purchase foreign currency which the flyer in my statement said would be fee free if I used my Partnership card - It was NOT! Tried switching to a debit card and after trying to execute the order I could only see a strange diagram with no explanation. called them on the number shown on the flyer, but was told I was calling the wrong number, I was connected to the right number, but it rang out for so long, and the judging by the background noise and unclear speech from the previous call staff, I decided to hang up and purchase the currency elsewhere. Reviewed on: 13th April 2017

So rewarding...

5
I use my John Lewis Partnership card for all big spends and major purchases. Rewards in the form of John Lewis vouchers posted to me. Pay off in full each month so no interest. #MaxYourMoney Reviewed on: 31st March 2017

Money off vouchers to spend in a Group that does not perform well? - hardly worth it!

1
John Lewis Partnership Card goes from bad to worse. Having admitted their errors and awarded extra Points as compensation they cannot even get that right and do not actually produce the points they claim to have awarded. On top of that they issue an arrears notice when the account is and has been for some time in credit - they owe their customer money but still their system churns out an arrears notice - how can you miss making minimum payments to your account when your account with them is in credit?! Be aware of detrimental affect on your credit score if you choose to do business with this Group. Much better off with a 4.3 scoring company that can provide a cash reward back onto your account with them with the effect that you are free to spend awards earned wherever you like.

MaxYourMoney Get John Lewis vouchers!

I love making my money stretch further by using my John Lewis credit card. Although it doesn't give cash back, it does give John Lewis vouchers back which to me are as good as cash as I spend them at Waitrose on my groceries. As long as i stay up to date with paying my credit card bill off promptly each month it really helps me #MaxYourMoney Reviewed on: 20th March 2017

Service, service, service

A trouble free card which repays loyalty with John Lewis vouchers, always a treat to look forward too (and recently the vouchers saved me quite a bit of money on a new washing machine!) Customer Services are always helpful to a fault too. Reviewed on: 20th March 2017

Card is great, the website for managing your account is appallingly bad...

1
The card itself is brilliant, however, every month when I attempt to manage my account online it is really confusing and very unfriendly. Current balance is very misleading and trying to work out what the next month's amount owing is very difficult to see as you have to try to work it out yourself. It is just so appallingly bad, I find it difficult to comprehend how they could have actually designed it to work like this. Reviewed on: 17th March 2017
