Post Office Credit card reviews (109)

post office credit card

Very clear, concise and forthcoming in saying what's on offer. Never had issues and feel like I'm a valued customer Reviewed on: 8th 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

Great rate credit card

Great rates, easy to use, good customer service. The app could be improved with a few extra features but overall a good choice 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

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!!

Amazing Credit Card Company

Great for balance transfers and high initial credit limits Reviewed on: 24th January 2017

Balance Transfer Card

Very disappointing. Applied for and received balance transfer card with initial credit card limit in excess of £2500. HOWEVER , on receipt of the card my transfer limit was set at only £200 - no good to man nor beast! Reviewed on: 29th December 2016

So good

The long interest are period is so good for me Reviewed on: 9th December 2016

Good service

When the Post Office have messed up in the past, they've fixed it quickly without protracted arguments which is why I stay! Reviewed on: 7th December 2016
