Nationwide Credit card reviews (197)

Credit card accepted everywhere

We have had the Nationwide Select Credit card for a number of years ad never experienced any problems using online or instore. The interest charged for this card is a reasonable 15.9% if you have a Nationwide current account, as we have. Also, the interest rate can be avoided completely if you pay the outstanding amount in full, as we do. Cashback is 0.5% when spending on this card, and there are more attractive rates of cashback offered by other banks and building societies. However, I like to have a credit card with my main building society, and the Select credit card is easy to use, with a credit limit suitable for our needs. The card also gives access to various rewards offered by Nationwide, as there rarely seems anything we need. For a simple and easy to use credit card, I would recommend the Select.

Earn credit to use abroad

I've always received a great service from Nationwide credit card. I like that you can build up a reserve of credit which you can use abroad for free exchanges. So you are charged any exchange fees. Reviewed on: 6th May 2016

Nice rewards

Good experience and rewards, I cannot complain Reviewed on: 24th April 2016

no understanding when we ran into financial problems due to illness

no support when we needed understanding Reviewed on: 23rd April 2016

Very good

Very good at advise and limiting if you are allowed a large sum. Very friendly staff and extremely competitive rates Reviewed on: 22nd April 2016

Nationwide Visa Credit Card accepted everywhere

I would recommend Nationwide Visa credit card. When spending on the credit card, I always pay the balance before it is due. That way there is never any interest charged. If you decide to wait until the payment is due, interest rates are 17.9%, which is quite competitive compared to other banks and building societies. We have a Nationwide flex current account, and payments into the credit card can easily be done through the online banking system. We have a reasonable credit limit, more than enough for our needs, and have never had any problems using the card. Reviewed on: 21st April 2016

CREDIT CARD

No fees or interest to pay on balance transfers or purchases - all interest free for a year. Reviewed on: 21st April 2016

Great for cashback

Nationwide's select credit card is a great option as you get cash back every time you use it. If you have a current account with them as well it is perfect for using abroad as there are no fees which makes a big difference to holiday expenses. Their customer service is good too - when I had a problem with my card recently they were very helpful and understanding and resolved my problem fairly and easily. Reviewed on: 21st April 2016

Best cash back credit card

I have been using nationwide credit for few years now and I can say this is the best cash back credit card on market. It gives some incentive if you are new customer and then 0.50% whixh sounds like little but it adds a lot in a year. I have received £100 last year. The customer service is superb.

GOOD

Applied for a credit card and found it quick and easy and got a good repayment rate. Only slight hold up was that I had to visit branch with ID but once this was done the card arrived quickly Reviewed on: 28th March 2016
