Santander 123 Credit Card reviews (156)

Great account

5
I have had a 12e account for several years and have found it fantastic, the cashback is great. Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

Mediocre

Santander Credit Card

5
Use it all the time. Quick response if there are issues. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 12th September 2016

It's ok

3
I am considering leaving Santander because of the drop in interest rates. The credit card cost per year does not match the cash back amount offered. The service in branch is good. The card is accepted everywhere so that's a bonus. I could get more rewards from a credit card elsewhere. Reviewed on: 7th September 2016

Good if you make sufficient use of it

4
The Santander 123 Credit Card is handy if you shop regularly with it as you get cash back. As I hardly use it, it is not really worth the monthly fee for me, so it is important to consider whether the benefits outweigh the costs before you decide to take it out. The policy is clear though when you do decide to go for it. Reviewed on: 6th September 2016

Fantastic

5
Great no trouble at all. Take payments on time everytime Reviewed on: 4th September 2016

Monthly fee increased

3
The fee has increased on this credit card. At the moment the cashback I receive more than covers this but as there have been big changes on the 123 current account I am unsure if there will be more changes to come. Reviewed on: 1st September 2016

Great card with cash back on purchases

5
Over the past year I have been even more impressed with my Santander Cashback Credit Card. As well as the 1-3% cashback on purchases, they also have a feature called My Offers where you can choose retailers to get even more cashback from. In the last month I made about £10 back on my purchases! I have had no issues with the account at all, in fact the only negative I would say is that they won't increase my credit limit to the level that some other banks will. Communication for the account has been absolutely fine and I have received responses whenever I have sent queries by online messaging. Reviewed on: 1st September 2016

Excellent service and hassle free

5
My Santander credit card gives cashback on all of my purchases. I had an issue where my card was lost and it was rectified immediately after one 4 minute phone call. The service was friendly and professional and superior to that of my previous provider. I have never had any issues with the card being accepted and would recommend the card to friends and family. Reviewed on: 1st September 2016

Good customer service

4
The Santander credit card has a good level of interest rate and does not charge any interest if you pay the balance off in full. As a Mastercard it is accepted in most shops and locations. i have only had to contact their customer service department once and got through quickly and they were very helpful.
