Sensational 0% balance offer I've had the credit card for a while now, and although the website is *reasonably* easy to deal with, it isn't perfect. The main reason for me reviewi... Read more Reviewed on: 27th February 2025

Sainsburys Bank Nectar Credit Card reviews (95)

You have to experience Sainsburys to appreciate how truly bad it is

1
The worst customer service I have ever experienced, online banking options are limited so you can't avoid calling customer services and so far this week I've spent around 7 hours on hold in total and got nowhere. They hung up on me twice and three times I've been told by someone with zero customer service training that they can't help but will transfer me to someone who can and then just dump my call to the back of the queue on hold again. I wish I had read some of these reviews before using their services, I intend to cancel my dealings with them as soon as I can speak to someone Reviewed on: 2nd August 2018

Still waiting to talk to someone

I've spent the last hour trying to contact their technical support regarding a "problem" with my online access all I hear is "Thanks for waiting a member of the team will be with you SHORTLY" ... or not ! This is just an appalling service :( I'm get rid of this card. Reviewed on: 31st July 2018

Appalling customer service

1
No statements for two months. Rang twice, 20 minutes for someone to answer then transferred and put on hold for further 10 minutes. Unhelpful staff. Avoid like the plague! Reviewed on: 25th July 2018

I've had a terrible experience with sainsbury credit card, numerous problems plus it takes nearly an hour each time to speak to someone. Then they cant do anything, sainsbury said they dont call people back not there policy . Terrible customer services. Hidden charges , difficult to check and pay balance. Within 3 months I closed my sainsbury credit card my choice and use tesco instead now . No problems. Reviewed on: 20th July 2018

No statements for two months

1
The last statement I received was dated 18 May. Have telephoned numerous times to ask for my June statement but only managed to speak someone twice - after waiting over 30 minutes for someone to answer - and on two occasions the line was disconnected before I could enter my details. The 'customer service' guys had no idea what the problem was and, according to the second guy I spoke to, neither does their IT department! I paid my June balance (to avoid interest charges) even though it was twice what I was expecting assuming that my statement would arrive so that I could check the entries. Now I am told that my July balance is over £1600, again far more than expected. What is the problem and how much longer before it's resolved? Am I the only one not receiving statements? Reviewed on: 20th July 2018

Rude and Pathetic Customer Service

1
I tried updating my address online. SB Credit card system could not recognise the postcode (as I moved to new build house), it asked me to contact by phone. When I called, they could not process the request and asked me to send bank statement showing 3 months of transactions with new address, I told them I cant provide these statements as I am in the process of home moving and the statements will have old address and recent one will contain the new address. It seems they cant accept this. I spoke to the supervisor and even she could not see the logic regarding bank statements with new address, I have asked her to raise compliant. As soon as I mentioned compliant, she said she will block the card and she blocked the card. She also said the complaint wont be reviewed by anyone and will be closed straightway and Sainsburys does not inform the customer regarding the outcome of the complaint. Even she refused to provide final response for me to escalate to FCA. It seems they don't have any compliant process. I am very surprised how they are handling complaints and how they are managing their business in regulated environment. Reviewed on: 28th June 2018

Great rate
