Barclaycard Reviews

I applied for the Barclaycard Graduate credit Card online, and I got a letter requesting some proof, which happened to be a letter from UCAS proving status of being a current student. I phoned up the customer service centre (in India) asking about this, and how I could prove that I am a current student if I am applying for a graduate card? The guy ...  Read the complete review

After stating to Barclays that I considered the APR to high I have just negotiated (see last paragraph) an 11.7 lifetime APR card with a 250 pounds credit raise to 750 pounds credit. Here is how I managed it. )12 consecutive on ...  Read the complete review

Well well well it has been a long time since I've been on Dooyoo hasn't it? Good to see some of the old crew are still here (Hi Trampus!) and I hope the community is still going strong.

I applied for it as my other credit card from HSBC wasn't giving me anything for using it and I noticed that there where lots of other credit cards about that where offering 0%, cash back or points. I chose Barclay card as it had teamed up with Nectar so when you use your Barclay card you can collect Nectar ...  Read the complete review

Finally I found a good reason to use my Barclaycard. Well, actually two I guess, but one is a godsend. On Saturday I purchased a new Sony DVD Recorder from Dixons. I knew that I would be paying more than I could have paid on some websites, but for the convenience of having it there and then, and for a little ?retail therapy? I decided to ...  Read the complete review

I had a couple of other cards - one high interest and one not too bad. I cleared one when I got my mortgage and reduced the other. ...  Read the complete review

Probably the most famous of all credit cards, Barclays provide all the things that you would expect in today's diversified market place. No longer is a Barclaycard merely a credit card but it is also the passport to cheaper deals on, among ...  Read the complete review

I had a Barclaycard for many years. The reason I decided to go for a Barclaycard in the first place was that I had my bank account there and it just seemed easier to keep it all with the same bank. Well, easier it might have been. However for this you pay yearly charges of £ 10, another £ 10 for insurance, and a very high interest rate ...  Read the complete review

Being a student with only a Saturday job as income, banks have refused me debit cards such a Switch, left, right and centre. It was only one day when a helpful 'personal banker' in Barclays was listening to me whinge about my lack of ways to pay for anything online. And so she mentioned the Barclaycard. Being only 18, and fearful of ...  Read the complete review

Many years ago, (1988) my wife and I were just setting up our first home. Finances were tight and so as soon as we spotted a Barclaycard leaflet drop through the door, we faced the situation and applied for a card. Oops.... big mistake! Our cards were promptly delivered with a credit of £500 on each. We were both aged 19 and never before had we ...  Read the complete review

The Good Barclaycard is probably the most widely recognised credit card in the world. AmeX might have something to say about that, but they'll have to write their own opinion to say it. And it's popular because it is a good solid card, well supported with a good reward scheme and an easy payment scheme. The Bad ...  Read the complete review

I've been a holder of a Barclaycard for just over two years now and I personally think that this is one of the best credit cards currently available on the market. Barclaycard has quite a low rate of interest and only charges £10 a year annual fee. (none if you spend over a certain amount a year) I have personally gone over the ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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. ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review
