Review of the Virgin Money, Credit Cards:

Good cashback perk

Cashback perk can be very advantageous if used smartly. Email newsletter is good with offers and competitions. Managing through phone isn’t the easiest as some competitors - no app with iphone finger scan. Reviewed on: 19th November 2018

User friendly site

Extremely user friendly site easy to navigate. More than enough information about your account and products you may be interested in.

Account under review

The process of choosing/ordering/account opening + App setup was quick and easy I agree. Balance transfer from previous credit card company was a breeze. Made a purchase the 1st week, staying below my credit limit by at least 15%. Just after that, received an email saying that my purchase didn't go through, payment declined. Card blocked, app blocked, called customer service twice (1h waiting on the phone total) and they told me my account was "under review'', no timeline, can't talk to a human (from the department that's "reviewing" my account), no letter. It's been a week, my order got cancelled by the supplier. Maybe they'll call me in a fortnight if I am lucky ? GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. To avoid, customer service is key Reviewed on: 25th October 2019

THE TRUTH

The Truth about this Bank As a huge fan of Virgin i opened an account and savings account. i have been a customer for over 2 years. no problems at all until now. I got an offer from credit cards to do a money transfer and i did so sending my available money to my current account. Then i find out they have blocked my account and i have NO ACCESS TO MY MONEY, its been 24 hours and they have not given me any information and how long it will take. apparently they are doing a review. They also dont tell you how long this will last , SO BEWARE, THIS BANK WILL FREEZE YOUR ACCOUNT IF YOU TRANSFER CREDIT CARD MONEY TRANSFERS INTO IT. POOR CUSTOMER relations from the Branch Upwards. I have now launched a complaint and will see it through to the Banking Ombudsman once I have waited for the required period of two weeks. I will also be looking for an alternative bank once my saga is over. what dont they do :- 1-TCF - treating customers fairly - does not exist 2- Customer - The simply dont care - no matter how much you want to help them do the review. 3- Loyalty- None to you no matter how long you have been a customer Virgin Brand you have today LOST a customer not only for Banking but also any other service you provide, i will never return to use your services ever again - YOUR TREATMENT OF CUSTOMERS IS SIMPLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Poor customer service (or should it be NO customer service)

So I received my replacement credit card and went to log on to my account to activate it. Couldn't log on and was given a number to ring. Rang number and eventually was told my online account had been deactivated as I hadn't accessed it for a while. I was told I would have to re-register for online account. Following this call I coincidentally received yet an other email from Virgin offering 0% money transfers and decided to unsubscribe from emails - but, no unsubscribe link! Instead, the customer has to ring them. So I rang, followed to process and eventually got to speak with someone. Was told I would be asked security questions. Numerous questions later was told I'd failed (despite actually knowing my mother's maiden name, where I was born etc.). I was told I would have to ring back - did so, failed again (how useless am I?) but I insisted on speaking with a supervisor. Was told someone from the fraud team would ring within the next 4 hours - no call. Rang the next morning and 20? minutes later my call was answered but I was told someone would ring me back as I'd been waiting a long time. Bemused by this I quickly explained my situation and that I was waiting for a call from the fraud team. I was assured they would ring me shortly and I provided my mobile number so I wouldn't miss the call. Guess what? Yip - still no call some 11 hours later. Old and new card have now been cut in two and Virgin and I will go our separate ways. Reviewed on: 10th October 2019

Smooth process

I found the application process easy to navigate and I was provided with information about my application at all times. I find the app helpful and easy to use. My card and documentation arrived quickly and activating was easy. Reviewed on: 9th June 2019
