I had a problem with a retailer see my other reviews - after waiting 14 days for a delivery date I requested my order be cancelled - the retailer after 3 days had not responded so I contacted Barclaycard for advice - to my surprise they credited my account within 24 hours and said they would take the matter up with the retailer on my behalf I think this is above what I expected so am really pleased

Positive on the whole
Have been with them for over 15years and have had a positive experience I don t like dealing with foreign call handlers generally but they ve been helpful whenever I ve lost my card or feel like there has been a risk of fraud Run good balance transfer offers from time to time but APR is high on regular balance imho which will see me eventually go elsewhere

A good experience over many years
I ve had pretty good experiences with Barclaycard customer services over the years and just recently they paid back some charges to do with the Jet Airways failure in Apr 2019 which I was impressed by The only way I think that experience could have been improved would have been to make it online instead of a physical paperwork exercise but what they were after wasn t too complicated and they had a freepost address for it

So far so good
I have not had a problem with Barclaycard the app works well and customer service seems to be okay I moved to another credit card company which turned out to be a nightmare and transferred back to Barclaycard which gave me a 0 transfer for nearly 2 years which is amazing I also have a much higher credit limit with barclaycard which helps If in the future I have a problem I will review but so far so good

Positive experience
I needed a new credit card and searched around the market for a while Most have poor or bad reviews so was apprehensive My experience of Barclaycard since Nov 2020 has been good Card came quickly and set up was easy to do After 1 week I noticed a fraudulent transaction - Barclaycard stopped the card replaced it and reversed the transaction within days unlike my previous card which took 30 days to refund the money Their app seems good again better than my last credit card which had no app I m happy

Had an issue with direct debit payment collection but customer service was good
Recently had an issue with direct debit payment collection on Barclaycard credit card Direct debit payment was not collected as I had received hotel cancellation refund in my credit card Customer service team were polite on the call and patiently explained the reason why direct debit payment was not collected Their app is great and credit card limit is also big enough to make big purchases

Ongoing Query
I have had an ongoing query with Barclaycard since early July I have spoken to customer services and written to their complaints team with no satisfactory response Today I phoned again and spoke to Rhiannon in customer services complaints She was friendly helpful and clarified my query which due to her I now understand Thank you Rhiannon you were excellent however I m only giving 4 stars due to Barclaycard not replying to my earlier correspondence
