If you lose a card and want a replacement, prepare to wade through mud as you deal with their super disorganized security department that takes 30-60 min of holding to reach each time with no call back. They'll call you back repeatedly asking the same questions over multiple days even though you answered them the same each time and each time they assured you everything checks out and this will be the last time. If you ask them why this keeps happening, they'll dodge the question and get angry and hang up if you press the issue. They're clearly extremely disorganized and don't want to be transparent about it. Also some are extremely rude and unprofessional. No call back either so you have to wait on hold 30-60 mins again.

    I looked to transfer a credit card balance to a no interest card. MBNA made it so simple & had 31 months interest free. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough

I have been a customer of MBNA for twenty odd years and I would say they have been really good but I am shocked by my recent experiences. Every month I use the card and pay off the balance so I pay no interest. Last month I decided to use it for a money transfer of £5000 plus a fee of £250. When I got my bill through it said I had the money transfer for 0% so I paid off the balance leaving £5000. My next statement said I owed interest … I rang them up and they said that because I have used the money transfer offer I now pay interest on all my purchases as soon as I pay for anything. I just don’t get it. I have now lost my grace period you usually have before you accumulate interest. I have complained and they don’t seem to understand my confusion… there is no mention of this anywhere on their app. They are saying that they will cancel my interest for the next two months if I don’t escalate my complaint - I am ringing them up again today to try to understand if I pay off everything apart from the £5000 and don’t use it for purchases during this promotional time will I still have to pay interest! If so what was the point of doing this money transfer. I am afraid once this is sorted out I am leaving MBNA and I am contacting ASA because this is completely false advertising with no transparency.

Gave me a credit line of £4900, and then cancelled after an year citing that i haven't used the card. Rang them to explain that i was abroad, so couldn't use the card . But they closed the account themselves, and the lady on call was really really rude. Read more Read less

    Very helpful with cashback

    They recently helped me with a reversal on a transaction for the first time. They were helpful. Plus the cashback is a great bonus
