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

Contacting them is near impossible!

Contacting them is near impossible! Their sign in process is too complex. (HSBC based!) App and site are 'Olde-worlde'! Phone contact (eventually) is with Manilla - charming people but no clue about how M&S cards work Reviewed on: 20th November 2024

Amateurish

Transactions take days to appear....every other CC app is immediate. Far too much approval of transactions.....£2.63 in a Weths less than 30 mins after approving a previous transaction in the same place....pathetic. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2024

1
The call centre is based in the Philippines, and the cant communicate with the Chester Office of the bank, which appears to be virtual. This is a really poor set up for M&S to be associated with. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

Absolutely horrible customer service.

Absolutely horrible customer service. The phone lines are awful. They make it most difficult and painful for you. Reviewed on: 8th February 2024

Brilliant service.

I was taken in by an online scam . My own fault , but M&S credit card refunded my money after contacting them. Cannot rate them highly enough. It was my own stupid fault, but they refunded me. Reviewed on: 25th November 2023

Automated payment service

1
I have had this credit card for about 6 months now and ever time I try to pay my bill I have nothing but problems with the automated phone service you put all your details in and you get this stupid code to put in and then it goes to customer service WHATS THE POINT OF AN AUTOMATED PHONE SERVICE IF YOU ARE THEN PUT THROUGH TO AN ADVISER THAT CANT UNDERSTAND OR SPEAK ENGLISH , absolute RUBBISH SYSTEM. Reviewed on: 19th November 2023

Account Closure

2
Had a M&S card now for over 2 years with a low Credit Limit of £1,000. My Experian credit rating is 979 out of 999. I have always paid my card within the time limit. I have recently put £145. 00 on it which is the only expenditure this month. Just had an email closing my account with no explanation. This has not caused any hardship and I have paid the card off in full, however this type of banking could put legitimate card holders in a serious financial position. This situation should be looked at in detail. Reviewed on: 21st August 2023

Brilliant card, great app and rewards. Reviewed on: 10th August 2023

Straightforward credit card with discount vouchers

4
Straightforward credit card account with offers such as zero% interest on certain balance transfers and collect points towards discount vouchers. Like other large retail organisations the discount levels ( a percentage of spend ) have recently been reduced to £1 for £!00 spend in M&S and £1 for £500 spend outside M&S. Therefore, the credit card is more likely too appeal only to frequent M&S shoppers . Reviewed on: 29th July 2023

What am I paying for?

1
Ive been charged 2 lots of £10 (£20) and not had a welcome pack or any vouchers which is the whole point of the rewards card. I have spent ages on the app talking to a computer to get the welcome pack and still nothing. The customer service is terrible. I will pay off the £20 and cancel the card asap so i dont just keep paying for nothing. Reviewed on: 24th July 2023

Bonus coupons unreliable, otherwise ok

3
They send mailouts 4x per year with additional coupons for bonus reward points offers but they often don't track properly so you have to chase them up, which is a pain. They often don't scan properly instore either, both at staffed and self checkouts. Reviewed on: 28th June 2023
