newday not up to the John Lewis standard

Partnership credit card • 15th August 2026

Since John Lewis moved its credit card service to NewDay it’s been awful… so damaging to JL brand.

The Partnership card is now virtually unusable. It frequently refuses to allow online transactions, it blocks transactions particularly for the additional card holder and has become more trouble than it is with. Pity as we have had a card with John Lewis for probaby 20 years. Now its god riddance. Read more Read less

Ever since John Lewis changed their card provider to Newday, it has been abysmal.The gap between when the statement is available and when the direct debit kicks in is far too short, I don’t understand why it takes 3 days to generate a PDF. Their customer service is terrible. The final straw for me was when I was refunded for a cancelled holiday (£5k) , Newday refused to take this into account before taking my direct debit ( £2.5k) and took the whole amount. It meant my account was in credit for ages and I couldn’t actually get my hands on my refund to use for anything else . Interaction with their staff on this was appalling . Read more Read less

Random blocks on online transactions including those with large companies like Sainsburys and Boots have meant that we cannot rely on the card. All the problems started when JL outsourced admin to Newday - who are hopeless. After 15 years, we will be moving to a new provider. Read more Read less

    Dreadful - avoid

    Very slow to assess claims. Using spurious delaying tactics. Our previous experience was excellent but John Lewis Pet Insurance recently changed their provider and as a result service is appalling.

Received a text message to call New Day urgently re suspected fraud when trying to renew my car insurance online and payment was blocked. Immediately phoned the number to find that office hours are nine to five and to call back tomorrow. No way to unblock my card. Others problems are paper statements arriving after due date and lack of contact numbers on the New Day JL partnership website. Bring back HSBC as the card provider. In my view, card now not worth having unless you shop mainly at Waitrose and JL. Read more Read less

    Problem free credit card

    Problem free credit card which makes it easy for me to budget my every day expenses without the worry of being saddled with unsustainable debt.

    A good cashback credit card

    A reasonable amount of cashback and good customer service when rarely required. The customer 'offers' are a bit useless.
