Review of the Post Office, Credit Card:

Fairly Productive

3
Credit facilities provided by Post Office are simply not beneficial as it always the barest minimum limit you get however the services are simply straight forward. Reviewed on: 8th July 2022

Abysmal customer service and jigerry pokery

1
This card may be useful in certain circumstances,but when a problem arises and you need to contact customer services it is painful and distressing.They are very curt and dismissive in their answers and the impression left is very unfavourable.I would not recommend anyone to use a post office credit card,and if you have one pay off whatever you owe on it then introduce to a sharp pair of scissors.I give it one star because without that input I can,t submit this review.

Appalling customer service

1
Customer service centre is unwilling to help with queries. They just read from a script and won't give a straight answer to a question. I have a good income, no debts, pay off my card in full every month but can't get a small increase to my limit for a one-off purchase. Apparently I'm not eligible for an increase because there are 'no offers on' but they won't tell me why I'm not eligible. Reviewed on: 13th June 2017

Great for travelling

We got the post office credit card specifically for holiday. It gave 3 month 0% on purchases and no fee for using abroad. Just make sure you pay it off before the initial rates go up Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

Rubbish customer service

The customer service is shocking - the automated system very difficult to use. Unfriendly call Centre staff - too many processes and they cannot help at all Reviewed on: 24th May 2017

The card fines you money for their software glitches and lack of instructions

1
I tried to use Post Office Credit Card from Bank of Ireland for their money transfer offer. If you type the wrong card number into the transfer box, the transfer is cancelled but they still charge you for the loan - £98 in my case. If their setting for how much money to take by direct debit fails, which it does on Windows XP / Firefox or Chrome, then they attempt to collect the full amount after month one. When the payment is refused, they fine you £12. There's no warning or communication - you can't tell it has happened. I discovered that there was zero balance on my card and thought "that's odd" and tried to find out why. Then the balance appears again with the £12 fine. When the balance re-appears, it has another £12 fine added for late payment. I managed to get that one reversed. Now , Bank of Ireland have just fined me £24.28 for "purchase interest" on a free balance transfer offer. You might ask how this reviewer has time to write a review but not to read the small print, but, believe me, I have tried. There's a lot of standard stuff on the back of the pdf statement that doesn't quite answer the questions, there is I think some online Fujitsu web software that doesn't always work, and there is the option of being phoned-back after a day or two. Summery: they make their money by fines. Avoid. Reviewed on: 16th May 2017

Fantastic service, easy to use.

I have had a credit card with the Post Office for almost 2 years. I love using the online login because I can check my balance at any time. It is easy to make payments with BACS on my bank account and the money clears very quickly. All statements are online - no paper - so great for the environment too. Would definitely recommend!!
