Barclaycard Reviews

I was given a student Barclaycard about 5 years ago. They started me off on a low credit limit of £350 which is plenty for a poor student. In the five years that I have had the card, I have never fallen into the trap that many people do, of spending just because the credit is there. I pay for all my necessaties on my Barclaycard and then ...

I have had a Barclaycard Visa and a Mastercard for around 12 years and have always paid my bills promptly. I used my Barclaycards for almost all my purchases because I believed that in doing so it would offer me some form of protection against unscrupulous shop owners. Sadly, this is not the case. For the first time, last year, I made a ...

I got a Barclaycard when I opened a student bank account at my local Barclay's branch. It was the first credit card I got, so I didn't really know what was good or not. As I was offered it, I though I might as well get one. I'm not gonna say they are bad. But they aren't the best credit card providers I have come accross. ...

Barclaycard is obviously very successful at marketing. It's one of the most popular credit cards in the UK, despite also being one of the most expensive. The interest rate is high, but then if your paying interest, you shouldn't have a credit card at all. Credit cards should only be used where you normally pay off the bill in ...

Barclaycard itself is great. It may not have the lowest interest in the world, but it is a hassle free card. Perhaps too hassle free - if you are regular in paying your bill each month, they will eventually give you an automatic raise in your credit limit, and another, and another, until your credit limit is scarily high. You ...

Getting pretty fed up with high interest rates on my loans,I spotted an advert for Barclaycard,offering a low interest rate of 4.99. AS I bank with Barclays I decided to apply there and then and was told it would take up to two weeks to hear if I had been accepted. Three days later a letter arrived offering me the amount I had ...

If you have a Barclaycard you are probably very satisfied with the service they provide. They have been at it a long tim e now and are very good at it. BUT... 1. They are very very expensive if you do not clear your balance each month. 2. Unless you are a large user they charge you a fee - which is a very outdated concept!! ...

What would I do without my Barclay card, I have become so dependent on it that it’s like my best friend. I, take it everywhere I go. It’s accepted in every shop, so I’m free to spend. I can spend up to £750 before I am in the red. Then every month they send me a bill, where the minimum payment is £5. Not bad. I would ...

I have always been very satisfied with the service provided by Barclaycard. It is possible to obtain lower interest rates from other credit card companies, but watch out, because some of them don't give you any interest-free period; with Barclaycard (as with many others I should add) it can be up to 56 days. In addition, Barclaycard run a ...

When I got married and changed my name, i arrived back from honeymoon to a bottle of champagne from the them with a note saying congratulations from Barclaycard. They have been fantastic in terms of credit limit upgrades, they have a direct debit service so you dont have to remember to ...
