Review of the Virgin Money, Credit Cards:

Default notice by mistake!

I have 2 credit cards, one with Capital which I’ve had no issues with and the second with Virgin. When I initially got my card I made a purchase of £700 on an office desktop which froze my account so I rang Virgin and they resolved the issue an hour later being able to make the purchase, which was the first issue nothing major and easily sorted by their team. A month goes by and my app and online account is blocked which initially disrupted my payments I was told a couple of months later I could use a sort code and account number with a reference to pay via my bank direct, they also told me they blocked my account because I needed to send them identification 3 months after using my card which I found rather unusual, assuming this is something they should have done when applying not after using it 3 months later. To top it off my app and online account is still blocked having been told various times through the year it was a mistake and is now resolved safe to say it isn’t a year later. I’ve now received 3 letters, 2 dated the 10th of March and 1 the 12th of march. One tells me I am late on 2 payments, yet my most recent statement tells me I have no fees and I only owe for the following month coming and then the third letter tells me my accounts gone to default and I owe the full amount on my account. After all this I’ve rang and an hour in the team at Virgin said it’s a mistake and admitted fault and they are now in the process of trying to reverse the default notice which will impact my credit file for the next 6 years. I’ve been told I’ll be called back again twice now but with my original issue still standing a year later I’m not looking forward to the final outcome. Reviewed on: 18th March 2024

Please don’t use This card

My card got hacked so I cancelled the card. Asked for a new card to be sent out . Card was sent to the wrong address, when I contacted them to ask where my card was they wouldn’t tell me the address it was sent to. They just said it wasn’t sent to the address I asked. I Tried the same process again giving them my address 3 times making sure they had the correct address. Again the same thing happened, I’ve never had an issue receiving mail at this Address, it’s now been one month no card. Tried several times to resolve the problem and the consultants were of no help whatsoever. This card has a few good things going for it in the rewards program but thats about it. This is the first review I’ve ever wrote custom service is the worst, once your card is locked from being hack you cannot access to see any transactions. I wanted to cancel my card and pay out the balance but couldn’t access my profile to double check the transactions. End of the day worst experience cannot recommend this card whatsoever Reviewed on: 10th February 2025

Virgin Money Credit Card

Clear guidance and easy to use app. Very good terms and good transfer rates and 0% interest period. I would definitely use Virgin Money again. Helpful staff when I used the helpline and I didn’t have to wait in a queue for ages either! Reviewed on: 27th January 2025

If you have a credit card and an an app but are lock...

If you have a credit card and an an app but are locked out of your account they are not open 24/7 to unlock your app, not even on a Sunday. If u are in a tight spot rubbish, I was absolutely 100% sure I had used the right password - my wedding anniversary been married 26 years and now locked out went online to try and log in there and not 100% sure of password and now locked out - chose a company with 24/7 customer service please, looking to switch , was messed around on phone told incorrect information ie was open 24/7 so wasted a lot of time !

Virgin Atlantic card wow

Good card. Like the website, like the offers Reviewed on: 28th November 2024

International transaction fee?

International transaction fee? $170? Wow! No fine line when this card would charge you international transaction fee. The charged me for $145 annual fee - used this card for less than a month and happily cancelled it. Will never ever use Virgin Money again! Highly not recommended!!!! Reviewed on: 15th November 2024
