Review of the MBNA, Credit Card:

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

1
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

BRUTAL customer service waits.

1
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

Report Stolen Card

Trying to report stolen card? Website says call us immediately? I have been on hold for over 1 1/2 hours while someone is using the stolen card. Just Stupid! Reviewed on: 13th July 2023

Reminders are so helpful.

5
The various reminders to pay and the amount, plus giving plenty notice followed by a further reminder have been so very helpful when trying to make the most use of my finances and paying the credit card on time but not too soon. Reviewed on: 12th July 2023

Automatic reminders to pay is so helpful.

5
I find the automatic reminders to pay are very helpful, then if still not actioned another reminder is sent and when I have paid I receive an instant acknowledgement. All gives great peace of mind, especially during this cost of living crisis. Reviewed on: 10th June 2023

Easy to understand, no nonsense

5
I've had an MBNA Credit card for quite a few years now and found dealing with MBNA to be very easy. The Credit limit for the card is very low by comparison to others, however it's a reasonable interest rate and the MBNA app makes it very easy to manage everything in an easy to understand, no nonsense fashion. I have only contacted MBNA customer services in relation to a personal loan but they were very helpful and friendly when I spoke to them. I would recommend MBNA with family and friends but be mindful that the credit limits offered do seem to be lower by comparison to other companies. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023
