Review of the Virgin Money, Credit Cards:

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

Awful customer experience and paper-based beurcracy

LONG STORY SHORT: The call centre staff are not well trained, they are not equipped to do anything over the phone. You can sign-up online without any unusual ID checks. If you then want to do anything. You need to be prepared to do it by post, sending originals, or officially verified copies. ITS 2023, why is it so hard!!? LONG STORY: They have an incorrect DoB for me. As requested I went to a Virgin Money store, where I then had to sign and post a copy of my ID. 2 weeks later, its not updated. My wife has called for a new PIN as an additional cardholder. Told the agent she would fail as my DoB is wrong, they said its fine, fail security, call back get to a higher level and they'll fix it. She failed security, when she phoned back, they have blocked my account and my card. The only way to fix it now is to verify a copy of my passport, send an original proof of address by post and they'll unblock the account (which is yet to work for changing my DoB, I have no faith). The call centre staff don't know what to say but "sorry, its the company policy" on repeat. If I didn't want the Virgin Miles I would just leave it blocked and walk away!

Do not be won by airmiles they are not worth the horrid customer service

Everything has to be done on the app - if it doesn't work you can't make a payment - customer service is phone holding for min 30 mins max has been 2 hours - just not worth it rates are insane also. Reviewed on: 24th July 2023

Weak Security, Shambolic Customer Services

I have endured a terrible experience with Virgin Money. Their weak security allowed my account to be hacked. Despite my immediate attempt to inform them, they provided terrible customer service. Even to the point of refusing to provide statements or even allow me to close the account. Reviewed on: 18th July 2023

The wrost bank and customer service ever!

The worst customer service ever. Real-time waisters! To get through to customer service you have to wait for at least 30 min on the phone (!) and then they can't help you with anything. I was misled for a month calling them several times and was given different answers every single time just to at the end find out that they can't actually help me. Have they told me that with my first call, I would have switched straight away to a different bank, not wasting weeks! The whole thing seemed very suspicious - like they were changing their internal rules while having these conversations with me. The wost bank I came across in the UK so far!

Application for 2nd card ridiculously bureaucratic

Opened account as I fly to USA regularly and so wanted to collect points for flights. Needed 2nd card for husband. We have been married for 20 years and lived at same address. Have joint cards with Amex and mortgage etc. on the electoral roll and both gave good credit ratings. They want you to send your passport and driving license or verified copy signed by civil servant, actuary etc. done all that despite time consuming and over the top. They didn’t need that info for me to open the card account for myself so why is it needed fir additional card holder? Now claim not good enough quality copy so need additional or original docs. 20 mins on phone to find this out. Done with it now. Not worth it. Taken off my Apple Pay and will stop using the account. Rubbish Reviewed on: 15th June 2023

Virtually impossible to cancel 'lost' card

Now been on the phone for over 30 minutes - just trying to cancel a lost card. Waiting for 'security' to answer the phone. Prevoius two operators were unable to help. Reviewed on: 11th June 2023
