Barclaycard US Avis 

Without a doubt the worst bank card ever. At the start all was good, got my card start using it no problem then I did a large purchase which they declined no problem understandable actually, so I called them confirmed I was the purchaser which they approved and told me to put it through again, it declined again whilst they were on the phone. They told me to put it through a total of 5 times before it actually was approved..thank God I thought. I paid off my the balance before the statement came in. Tried booking a flight on Jet Blue the card was denied for fraudulent activity...hmm strange I thought. After calling they told me it I need to send 3 pieces of identification which has been done and now BARCLAYS HAVE LOST ALL THAT DOCUMENTATION the fraud funnily enough I've just found out was related to the 5 attempts their rep told me to keep trying.
All I need to do is close the accounts but that can't be done because yes theres still a hold on my account.
So I honestly I say to anyone do not use Barclays bank card its not worth the hassle.

They received one star becasue zero isn't possible. I got the card becasue I want to start flying Breeze airlines and get points to apply for future airfair. After applying with excellent credit and receiving my card with a generous credit limit, I moved all my monthly bills to the Barclays/Breeze card and racked up about 1/5 my total credit limit in charges in a few days....Not a big deal as I pay off my balance every month if not sooner...Barclays thought otherwise though as they locked my card and wont unlock it until I send identity proving documents...it's been almost 20 days since I sent the documents and it's still locked. Ridiculous and absurd! I've never had anything close to the poor experience I've had with Barclays thus far.

Terrible customer service and a huge waste of time. Can't make any purchases without being flagged for fraud which simply makes the card unusable.

I called to find out why Barkley has been taking automatic payments for my credit card for the last 13 months since I haven’t had a balance on that card in over two years they were hateful and unhelpful… When I asked for a manager, they would not put a manager on… I would think if my ratings were as low as theirs I would be doing something about it to ensure that customers get a good experience… I will be canceling my Old Navy credit cards because of their use of this credit card service

I used my credit card for a hotel stay on May 16th, I had a reservation for 133.80 and upon check in the hotel changed the amount to 203.23. I disputed sent in my documents showing my reservation of 133.80 and they agreed and credited my account 69.43 but then the hotel sent in theirs and Barclay sided with the hotel and refused my claim and recharged my account.

I have the Wydam rewards card I’ve had four many years also one instance of false promises I booked in Manchester new Hampshire super eight Wydam reward wanted 3000 point plus remaining balance total about 75.00 points I booked through booking .com 80.00 crazy you want three thousand points plus 75.00 booked for August 14 th your points are crazy not worth the having the card gold member would vise looking at other spots than using your points and would not get there credit card don’t make the mistake

Barclays is the worst credit card company. They clearly use an algorythem to review credit which is completely useless.

Worst credit card!!
I had a charge of an item that I never received for $900.
I contacted Barclays to reverse the charges and they told me to wait until the next billing cycle to call them to make sure that I didnt receive it...Well I waited and filed a dispute and they told me that they couldn't help me because the transaction already went through!!
Then they lowered my card limit from $1000 to $600 out of the blue!!!!!
Im closing this terrible credit card!!
Buyer Beware!!

I opened a Barclays GM Rewards cc on 9/30/25 with a 0% interest promotion for 9 months.  Before receiving the physical card in the mail, I needed to make a large purchase, so I called to see if I could use the 0% interest with the temporary card number in order to spread the cost out over 9 months.   I decided to call and verify because the info I found online about the card sounded different than all other 0% interest promotions I had previously used.

I called and was connected to a foreign call center customer service rep from Barclays who gave me misinformation and reassured me the 0% interest was for any purchase for the first 9 months, not just GM related purchases. I asked her to verify this twice. After the representative confidently reassured me "not to worry", I was confident that I could use this credit card like my normal cards and would have 9 months of 0% interest for all my purchases.

Once I received the physical Barclays card in the mail, I set up paperless billing and auto pay to pay the minimum since I knew I had 9 months at 0% interest based on the representative's confirmation from my call. Five months go by and I happen to check purchases on this promotional card, and to my shock and horror, I discovered that I had been getting charged with huge interest charges since the first month that I started using the card!

Once I realized this, I called on 3/17/26 and spoke to another call center customer service agent. I explained how the last representative reassured me that I had 9 months of 0% interest for all purchases. She offered to escalate my concern. After back and forth attempts I was eventually able to speak to a senior manager who claimed that she reviewed my original call, confirmed that the Barclay's rep DID falsely reassure me that I wouldn't be charged interest and that she gave me incorrect information after I asked her twice to confirm.  The senior Manager said despite the error on the part of their representative, she was not willing to remove the interest charges and help me beyond a $200 credit. Ultimately, $1069.42 in interest fees have been charged.

Barclays, a $100 Billion dollar financial company,  proved to me that they lack empathy, remorse, and ethical integrity.  Based on this terrible personal experience, I will never recommend anyone open or use a Barclay's GM Rewards Mastercard.

I informed each manager during each conversation that I had, that I was going to report this unfair and unjust treatment to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Better Business Bureau (BBB), My FL state Attorney General James Uthmeier, and I will document my negative and unfair experience online through Google, Yelp, any and all social media and review platforms available to me.  I have already begun this process and will see it through to completion.

The people who can make a difference at Barclays probably won't care about my situation. They probably won't care that despite my due diligence in checking with their customer service prior to using the card, I still was mislead and charged. If they are like their customer service senior managers, they will go through the process so that my complaints get closed, but I doubt they personally care that I shouldn't have to pay $1000 in interest fees.  It's a $100 Billion company, with Multimillionaire executives, who profit off their greed, I doubt they care about "you and me".

My only hope is that maybe a customer like myself, who takes the time to read this account of my personal experience, will hopefully save themselves some grief and expense by not making the same mistake of trusting Barclays Bank of Delaware/GM Rewards Mastercard.

These are the worst company and credit cards in the history of credit cards. They let scammers keep the money they scam you out of even though you submit everything they ask for as proof. All 3 cards I had that had the name barclays on it went flying from my hand into the sewer after they went thru the shredder.

I paid two large accounts off (over 25k). I have never been late in over 12 years on either card. After I paid the accounts, they cut my credit limit down to slightly below the small balance on one card, so it also reported me as over limit! I am in process of buying a home. My bank says this is going to screw up my credit score as it is showing it as maxed out. Probably lost the house. They could clearly see I was buying a house.
There was no good reason to do this!

I had an incredibly frustrating experience with Barclaycard that cost me a promotional balance transfer offer through no fault of my own.

On July 13, I initiated an $8,483.11 balance transfer online. The next day, their Fraud Department called, but left no voicemail. When I returned the call, I verified the transaction was legitimate and was told Barclaycard had already cancelled it. I was instructed to simply log back in and submit it again.

The problem? Their website still displayed the balance transfer offer, but when I clicked it, it claimed there were no offers available. Customer Service repeatedly insisted there were no offers on my account, despite their own website showing otherwise. Multiple representatives and a supervisor were unable to help, and when I asked to speak with someone who could actually resolve the issue, I was told I'd have to wait 2–4 days for a callback.

Unfortunately, the promotional offer expired that same day, making the callback completely meaningless.

I have screenshots, complete with timestamps, showing the offer was still displayed immediately after I spoke with their representatives. Rather than honoring a balance transfer I initiated before the deadline, Barclaycard cancelled it internally and then prevented me from resubmitting it.

The lack of communication, contradictory information, and inability of customer service to resolve an issue caused entirely by Barclaycard has been extremely disappointing. I expected much better.

They randomly lower credit limits after you make payments. Despite making payments on time and paying more than the minimum each month. My credit score is actually increased from the time I received this card and they have reduced my credit limit twice for absolutely no reason!

DO NOT OPEN A CREDIT CARD WKTH THEM. It is so easy for someone to hack into your account and open another card without ANY additional information! Then when you file for fraud they say they have “proof” that it was you without ever providing said proof. Total scammers.

Absolutely worst customer service of all-time. They use foreign agents who really can’t speak English. It is a total nightmare. STAY AWAY

I had a card with Banana Republic that switched to Barclays with a zero balance out of nowhere they charged me 19.00-never communicated that to me- never told me that the card name changed to Encore and then reported me as a missed payment. After the fact. I have an available 180,000 worth of credit an excellent score until now, Barclays reported it as a late payment and lowered my credit limit from 2,500 to 250 without notice. This is absolutely the worst card and company I would avoid Barclays at all costs, I'm sharing this to help anyone that is considering getting a card with them ( they offer many different branded cards) DO NOT GET A BARCLAYS bank card they are a fraud

I would rate a 0 if I can they say you need to pay on the date when you have auto pay on and they say the payments are late even when they say auto pay. The Barclay priceline card do not get they charge you so much and say you have a late payment when you have on auto pay and its 155 a month and I pay 200 dollars a month on it and only 25 dollars goes to the payment rest is on intrest.

Terrible experience they have been lowering my credit limit for the past 2 years .This month their excuse was that I used a different credit card heavily .Ofcourse every time they lower your limit your credit score goes down.I didn’t even apply for this credit card they took over aarp accounts.My other credit cards raise my limit without me asking and Barclays just lowers it for no good reason other than they are doing it to hurt you .

I received a Barclay Credit Card through Breeze Air and was offered a balance transfer opportunity. I held a Jetblue Barclay card and thought they were a great company. My credit score is around 720. After a month or two, I figured I pay a thousand or so to lower my debt ratio on the Barclay, since I was using around 95% of the credit line. I expected my credit score to go up because of this effort. Barclay immediately changed my crdit line to a lower number... which hurt my credit score. The next month I payed a few thousand, and Barclay lowered my available credit again. I found out when I tried to buy a plane ticket. I thought I had several thousand dollars of "room". Wrong! Barclay had lowered my available credit again. At that point I figured I'd just use them until the term of my balance transfer had expired. I can't wait to terminate the card, which will happen the day before they try to charge me an annual fee. So in retracting my balance available, my Credit score suffered. Who needs a financial partner like that? They are NOT a good financial partner!

I have both a frontier airlines card and Barclays view card through Barclays Bank. Once again, while on a road trip, I have been cut off until I can send in a copy of my social security card front and back. I’m 2,000 miles from home and they want personal documents you don’t carry on you. At least past instances of being left stranded at gas stations away from home have taught me to carry copious amounts of cash to cover expenses on the road. Is it more dangerous? Yes. Do you know better? Yes. Do I really have a choice? No. This company is like an abusive boyfriend who dumps you at a fuel station with no money and then later apologizes and says it won’t happen again, just to do it again. Well surprise Barclays Bank, I have enough cash to get me home and I will be paying off these cards and closing the accounts. I don’t need unreliable companies supporting my travel needs.
