Premium Review Barclaycard: One Pulse (248 words)

Rating:

There are many different types of Barclaycard to suit different customer needs. The barclaycard I have is the Barclaycard Onepulse Credit Card. My sole reason for choosing this card was the length of the 0% balance transfer deal, which at the time of opening my account was 14 months, however now it is just a more standard 12 months. The Balance ...  Read the complete review

***Good application service *** I applied for a Barclaycard Initial credit card online as my first credit card about four months ago. I had never had a card and assumed I would have a low credit rating and had read that this was a good card to apply for to boost your rating. The application went through fine and I was offered a Barclaycard ...  Read the complete review

I got my barclaycard about a year and half ago and i have to say i was greatly impressed with them. In these credit crunch times i have found from others that lots of the companies have been putting up their interest rates for customers with them for a while, i started off with bc on 0% for 9 months and then went up to 15% which i find quite good. ...  Read the complete review

I have had a Barclaycard now for about three years; i transfered to them as they often advertise 0% balance transfers and 0% on purchases which is great to help you manage your finances. The interest rate does just up steeply to 15% after the offer which they dont tell you about and which is very high compared to competitors, however, if you clear ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

I have had a Barclaycard for several years now. It is one of those things that I never used to give a lot of thought to. I would occasionally use it to 'iron out the bumps' in a tricky financial month or use it to purchase something big with the added bonus that most credit cards offer of additional insurance. However along came the credit crunch ...  Read the complete review

I have had a barclaycard since I was at uni as they were doing a great cashback offer of 5% for the first three months. I now have a different cashback barclaycard card that pays cashback at 1% up to a certain level, then 0.5%. Cashback is paid into our account, so reducing the balance. Cashback cards are a great idea provided you always pay off ...  Read the complete review

I have had a Barclaycard for years now - i think it must be one of the most famous cards around. I originally got it straight out of uni in order to do a balance transfer as they had a 0% rate which appealed to me as you could use it for balance transfers for 9months or on purchases for 3months. As i was waiting to start my job it was a great ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

Hi had a Barclaycard for just about 7 years now. I have found they provide a good service in comparison to quite a few other major card providers. The interest rates they charge are not to extortionate with no interest charges being made if you pay your balance in full at the end of the month. The bill usually comes in the last week of ...  Read the complete review

I was sent a Barclaycard credit card when Barclays took over Goldfish who'd taken over Morgan Stanley, so I was forced to be a Barclaycard customer, rather than choosing them. This wasn't a problem at first. I put pretty much everything I can on credit card and then pay the balance in full at the end of each month - this lets me keep a ...  Read the complete review

This is where Barclaycard came into their ...  Read the complete review

applying for the card was simple but when I phoned to activate my card I found there was aready a transaction on the account dated 9 days before I had even applied for the card.

I checked the rates and decided to get a credit card based on a number of things, reputation, interest rate APR, and 0% balance transfer, so last July I plumped for Barclaycard.

Having always been an additional card holder on my husbands credit card, i decided that i would apply for a card in my own name for things just for myself!

==ABOUT THE CARD== The Barclaycard Platinum is a credit card from Barclays Bank and I decided to sign up for one of these because of the promise of cashback on purchases. There are several Barclaycards available, each with different features but I tend to go for cashback cards as I don't want one that doesn't give me anything. Ones that ...  Read the complete review

I've been a HSBC Customer since I was a young teenager, and used their credit card for a few years when I opened my Student Account back in 2002. I had no complaints about HSBC, but their APR was running at 19.9% recently, and given that my balance was quite high, I was paying more interest than I could afford. That's when I started shopping ...  Read the complete review
