Review of the Virgin Money, Credit Cards:

Give me an app!!!

I do like the card art - I chose the sex pistols cover for my card which EVERYONE comments on, but the lack of an app to see my balance is really frustrating me. having to a) find the login page for credit cards, and then b) enter 3 pieces of info to get to a transaction view which frankly isn't great is really killing the experience for me. Also, i can't get another card for a second account holder, and apple pay is STILL not supported. 'could do better' Virgin Money Reviewed on: 21st November 2016

Points make prizes!

Took out a virgin Atlantic points credit card and the introductory offer was amazing. Whilst there is an annual fee to pay, this is more than offset by the upgrade / companion voucher that we received after 3 months! The airlines continue to accumulate and we can look forward to entry of travel in the future! Reviewed on: 4th March 2024

Absolutely useless company

I recently had an incredibly disappointing experience with Virgin Money's customer service, and I feel compelled to share my frustration to warn others. The lack of professionalism and disregard for customer concerns displayed by this company is truly disheartening. My initial contact with them was through a phone call to address an unauthorized charge that appeared on my account. The representative I spoke to demonstrated a complete lack of empathy and failed to provide any satisfactory resolution. I was appalled by their dismissive attitude towards my complaint and their inability to comprehend the severity of the situation. Feeling left with no other recourse, I mentioned my intention to file an official complaint with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Yet their actions were slow and lacked any urgency, further exacerbating my frustration. To provide undeniable evidence of the poor customer service experience, I shared a recording of the phone conversation as requested by the company. I had hoped that this evidence would prompt a swift resolution, but it seemed to fall on deaf ears. The lack of transparency and accountability displayed by VM is utterly unacceptable. As a customer, I expect to be treated with respect, and I demand prompt action when faced with unauthorized charges. Regrettably, they have failed to meet these basic expectations. I urge potential customers to think twice before engaging with Virgin Money. Their customer service is abysmal, and their apparent indifference to resolving issues leaves much to be desired. Save yourself the frustration and seek out a company that values its customers and takes their concerns seriously. It is my hope that this review serves as a cautionary tale for others and encourages Virgin Money to reevaluate its approach to customer service. No one should have to endure the disappointment and inconvenience that I have experienced. Please take my warning seriously and consider alternative options for your own peace of mind.

Clamming extra charges

I got really bad experience they changed me last 3 month over£181.76 and my outstanding balance even zero and they keep cutting direct debit without knowing Reviewed on: 23rd November 2023

If you want to keep your money dont use this company

Absolute armpit of a company! Cant use my card as they suspect fraud but I cleared everything up and want id after 3 years being a customer. Cant spend anything! Avoid this company at all costs!!!!! Reviewed on: 27th October 2023

Dissapointing Start

I set up a credit card account with a small balance transfer at the beginning of October 2023, I received an email confirmation within hours stating that the account and the transfer had been approved then nothing, about a week or so later the card arrived. Now near the middle of October and the balance transfer still hasn't started and I have no details on how to log into the account. The website refers me to the app to log in and the app states that I can't log in. Rubbish service with very little information about the process. Reviewed on: 13th October 2023

Absolutely terrible customer experience

Took over a month, several phone calls, and dozens of emails for them to finally approve a balance transfer. If the end result was my getting approval, why was I required to follow up continuously? All departments are disconnected. No one responds to emails, messages through the portal, and the "Customer Care" team have no idea what they're doing. Reviewed on: 6th October 2023

Never Use the Useless Thing

They gave me a £5,200 and I was thrilled. Initially tried to buy a laptop with it and was denied. Constantly. Consistently. Aggravatingly... every time. I made multiple calls and was told it was working now... no, it wasn't. I stopped trying to use it. Recently, I received an e-mail offering 0% on balance transfers for a year with a 4% fee. Fine, I'll transfer the balance for the laptop back to this card, right? No, I went through the tedious process several time, changing my password when it told me THAT was now wrong. Putting in the same info time and time again. That was last week, tried again just now. It started by telling me the password was wrong again. Get this card for a high credit limit... that you can NEVER bloody use. Completely useless. Reviewed on: 5th October 2023

Best credit card customer service

Absolutely fantastic customer service. No long queues to speak to a human. Their advisor was helpful, understanding, and courteous. Shewent over and above to ensure my forgetting to renew my cardcwas handled without fuss. Unlike other companies who have made me start from scratch, (treating me like someone who has never been a 20yr customer) despite good credit Well done Virgin, all banking should be like this Reviewed on: 22nd September 2023

Disappointed

Such a worse service provider, I used virgin money credit card and when I realise unexpected charges cut from my card I tried to complaint to virgin money after freezing my card and everyday I called an after an hour waiting no one resolve my issue and they keep charging me the amount which I don’t even used, i won’t go this services and never recommend to anyone to use this services Reviewed on: 16th September 2023
