Review of the Virgin Money, Credit Cards:

cannot share a joint account

2
We had a joint credit card account with Yorkshire Bank for many years. We were told we had been sold to Virgin Money We cannot now both have access to the app (ITS A JOINT ACCOUNT) If I try to access it on my phone, my wife's phone gets a fraud alert and we are locked out. It worked perfectly well when it was with YB and we had the credit card account linked to our current account but Virgin Money don't allow that, you need a separate app for current accounts and credit cards. Absolutely no joined up thinking and not a good service. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

virgin altanic credit card

Held virgin altanic credit card for years since 2019/2020 just for collecting points for daily shopping. It is free and wider accepted as it is a Mastercard. When I visited France in May, I discovered the card has a free spending within EU zone, that just made my day as I have just closed my Barclay card no long ago. Very handy, which means outside of UK spending also can collection points, what a great value! Reviewed on: 7th June 2024

Poor communication

I endured many phone calls and many errors and generally broken lines of communication and wrong information. Despite many letters phone calls and emails I was compensated for their errors but was left very scarred by the experience would never use them again. Reviewed on: 4th June 2024

Money Transfer Credit Card

Never heard of a Money Transfer Credit Card before but found an excellent, long no-interest card from Virgin which has really helped me out a lot. Excellent product and easy to apply for. Reviewed on: 31st May 2024

Twice ( and now I’m on holiday ) my card has been blocked , access to the website blocked and not once a text or a warning. And we think a cashless society is the way to go. Not with Virgin it isn’t. I’m was escorted to a money change to change currency to pay a bill. And now no one can be reached as it’s out of hours. Brilliant service!!! B Reviewed on: 28th May 2024

Exceptional experience with Virgin Money

5
I applied for a Virgin Money credit card about a year ago, and I was thoroughly impressed with the entire process. The application was straightforward, and I received acceptance quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. The efficiency of the process demonstrated Virgin Money's commitment to customer satisfaction. Moreover, the customer support was outstanding. Whenever I had queries or needed assistance, the support team was prompt, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Virgin Money provided relevant products tailored to my needs. I was offered an installment plan, which has been incredibly convenient for managing my finances. Additionally, they continuously provide new offers that add value and flexibility to my financial planning. Overall, my experience with Virgin Money has been exceptional. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024

A reputed company.

A reputed company. I've few of their products and all their customer service is always excellent. Thought their products can get sometimes expensive. I've lost my card few times and got it straight away. Someone tried to use it and it was blocked. Thank god for that. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2024

Appalling company

1
Gave a wrong password by mistake on phone back in February. Virgin money have requested I post in ID and proof of address. I have done this twice. I also went in a Virgin money branch and they emailed it to them. They still say they haven't got it. Rude unhelpful staff. Had the phone put down a few times. They refuse to send statements but have taken large sums by direct debit. The only reason I care is that this account should be in credit due to a holiday refund. Despite complaints and numerous phone calls they are refusing to close the account and refund the money. Worst company I have ever dealt with. I am at a loss what to do next.

Applied for a credit card at the beginning of May which I needed for a family holiday for the end of the month. Even called in after I got accepted to clarify my situation and was guaranteed that card should be with me by then, as cards take 7-10 days to arrive. Waited patiently for the card since the 4th May, and yesterday (the 20th), was the 10th working day as well the day the card was meant to arrive. Still nothing came through. Decided to call the support number to get an update on my situation as I believed there could be a possible delay with the delivery or things of such and the operator blocked the card without my consent, although me telling her not to do so as I’d rather wait a day or two for possible delays and she told me that I will have to wait all over again for the new requested card. Had to cancel the holiday due to this. These people are not reliable and careless for customers needs. APPLY FOR A DIFFERENT CREDIT CARD IF YOU CAN. Reviewed on: 21st May 2024

Don't do it. Such a scam and the worst experience.

1
There is no process to gain access to your account once they "lock" you out. Not even the Customer Service Team has access. They are charging me fees that I cannot even view. This is an absolute scam, and I wish I had never opened an account with Virgin Money. I now have other accounts with AMEX and Monzo, the experience with them is incomparably better. Please don't put yourself through it. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024
