Review of the M&S Bank - Marks and Spencer, Credit Card:

Others are much better

1
Dreadful phone staff barely speak let alone understand English, couldn't read security questions correctly thus saying I had wrong answers. That was a first! and unacceptable. Archaic bank policies to a couple who have shared accounts for 55 years and only bank USA or UK that will not let husband give permission to speak to wife who has handled the fiscals, again for 55 years. When others are so much better, why bother with this dinosaur? As for the app and website; a mix of archaic and ok, but you have to go to website to get your bill due date! It is not on statement (that's unheard of) nor on the app. With Waitrose going to New Day (the worst no go of all) and M+S being sub optimal, am trying Tesco which was easy to get with a high credit limit, up to date website and app and very quick to pay, so far so good.

Unable to speak to a human, unable to use credit card in a store but can use it elsewhere as a mastercard Reviewed on: 2nd September 2024

It's incredibly difficult to service the account.

It's incredibly difficult to service the account. A small amount can be done on the app, most of it needs a login on the website, and it's not clear how to find anything. I tried to amend my direct debit a month or two after opening the account and was unable to do it. I've just mananged to locate the online form which has required me to download my recent statements and submit a significant amount of information, in order to change the direct debit from the minimum to a fixed amount. Why on earth is this made so difficult? On all other credit cards that I've ever had, this can be amended with a couple of clicks on the website. Enormously frustrating. Reviewed on: 9th August 2024

I have been a long standing customer of m&s,and have used their credit card for most transactions.. My credit card was damaged,and I needed a replacement. That is when the trouble began.. My first phone call enabled me to order a new card.. I phoned a week later to be told that there were delays. A week later when I phoned, I was told that the card had not been ordered. A week later it arrived, and the pin arrived. However there was no PIN number in the little box, although l placed it on white paper. I phoned again,and needless to say no PIN number appeared even when scratched with a coin, and held up to the light. I now have to wait another 5 working days for PIN number to appear. What a terrible service to a loyal customer!! Reviewed on: 4th July 2024

You can get good 0%APR on some of their credit cards but no other benefits besides that Reviewed on: 28th May 2024

Good period of 0% on purchases plus rewards. Notifications for every transaction so easy to keep track of spending. Only slight negative is not being able to freeze card in the app but have to call the bank. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024
