BEWARE of 0% interest rate, they only mean 60 days!

I had the credit card for a little over 3 months, and I made a purchase I was planning to use the 15 months of 0% APR. So I noticed that I got charged on the 3rd month and queried this with a customer advisor. She was brilliant and was accustomed to this enquiry. She told me there is a very small print that is not apparent to new customers that 15 months of 0% APR actually means the 0% applies to the first 60 days... She then advised me to get another credit card out, and she was completely talking me through how to close my account down without getting further charges. I'm just very shocked at the lack of transparency MBNA has with consumers over something as basic as the term length for a 0% APR interest rate. Thanks to that advisor she was so accustomed to this when I swore out of shock and then quickly apologised, she showed good decency and empathy of the situation. On the same day I took her advice and transferred my balance to another credit card. The take from this is all of the 0% term length offers mean only 60 days. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2024

Absolute scammers

Absolute scammers Absolute scammers, they should be shut down, got a credit card from them under impression of 22 months free interest, it turned out their definition of free interest is very different to the other banks! you get 58 days interest free on your purchases any time after that they will charge you whopping 25%! disgusting, and obviously they have it in their fine prints for you to know! called them as soon as I saw the interest on my bill, they said it was a mistake and they will rectify it and I will be refunded for all the interest, HOWEVER after a week I called them again and the second guy told me the first dude was wrong and the charges are correct!!! I am waiting for a copy of my contract now. I have been fooled twice! Reviewed on: 5th January 2024

Simply do not open any account with them and protect your money. That is all i have to say Reviewed on: 22nd November 2023

BRUTAL customer service waits.

I've called four times and never reached a human in less than 30 mins. Tonight I waited 40 mins until 7:01, only to have them tell me I needed to call back before 7pm. So frustrating. Reviewed on: 11th October 2023
