CareCredit Reviews 

Worst credit card ever through Sychrony. I had a 2000.00 credit limit for over 2 years. I always paid my bill each month early. Finally the interest they were charging me and the games they were playing with their promotional purchases were killing me. So I took out a small personal loan to pay off my credit cards and I paid the balance on this one of 687.00. Once it posted my credit limit dropped to 690.00. Nice way to treat a customer who always pays early. This also happened with another sychrony bank credit card I had with Belk Department store. 500.00 credit limit paid early every month never carried a huge balance. When it did get up to about 300.00 I paid it off and they dropped my credit limit down to 140.00. Stay away from anything that comes out of this bank. They also even charged me 6.24 for purchases made after I paid in full. They can stick this card where the sun don’t shine.

Yesterday 11.19.2025. I called care credit simply to get a card for my wife who is an authorized user on my account. Instead an incompetent agent closed my account. My wife had a dental appointment scheduled that same day. I never reported my card lost or stolen.Why would I order a card and then close my account.

0 out of 10 CareCredit is absolutely worthless.
I’m beyond pisssed with CareCredit after my latest experience. We make well over six figures, have multiple established credit cards, pay our bills, and needed a simple $1,500 approval to take our dog to the vet. That’s it. And somehow these people can’t manage to approve even a basic limit like that.
The whole “application process” is a 10 second joke, a couple of vague questions and an instant decision that tells you nothing about why you’re denied or how they supposedly evaluate your creditworthiness. It feels shallow, judgmental, and completely disconnected from real financial responsibility. You absolutely cannot judge someone’s entire financial picture from a bare-bones questionnaire, yet that’s exactly what they do.
In my opinion, CareCredit comes across as a money grubbing, out-of-touch service that offers nothing but frustration when you actually need help. When a company that advertises itself as a lifeline in emergencies can’t approve a straightforward, average limit for someone with solid income and credit history, it says everything about their priorities.
If you value your time, your sanity, or your pets’ well-being, stay far away from CareCredit. They failed when it mattered, and we won’t forget it.

After spending hours today talking to FIVE agents (4 on the phone and 1 in live chat), after verifying myself repeatedly, after jumping through every hoop, I’m just told that they can’t give out the info that I’m calling for. Wasted the majority of my day on this. I was told they recently changed some policies. CHANGE IT BACK. And please train your people better. Ton of conflicting information and still zero resolution. Thanks a lot for spiking my blood pressure and adding to the health issues that I was trying to use the card for.

If I could indicate -3 stars I would do it. Do not for any reason go in to bed with this company. The terms of promotion changes when they feel like it and not when you sign up for the service. I was lied to about the terms of the billing and for 4 years I was still paying on a bill that I had paid off over a year ago. I was paying it by auto pay and told when the last payment came out of the account no other action would be needed from me. So for years I never received statements, but I was waiting on the shut off on the auto pay. So, when the payments got lower I was under the impression the end was near and everything would be done. I am in a dispute with them right now for over $2000 that's they took from me. Their excuse is that they change a promotion and interest rate on my plan but didn't communicate with me about it. This totals more than $700 per year just in interest and they said that I can't pay the bill off early because any payments will be applied to the principal interest on each month or year on the backend. So, in other words they want me paying them off forever. I'm seeking legal help on this matter and I would encourage the masses not to do business with Care Credit aka Synchrony Bank. Also, I believe a class action suit is needed and I'm willing to join the list of those impacted by these sharks.

If you have promotional and non-promotional charges, they make you call them each month to allocate your payment when the promotional charges are nearing expiration. They will pay off the promotional charge first if it is due in 2 months. You will be charged interest if you don’t call to allocate the payment. They will not waive the interest charge when this happens. Very disappointing customer service.

Mobile access is absolutely terrible. There is no breakdown of the charges and not sure how funds are applied. Customer service is the same way.

It's touted as having "no annual fee" but they pop in a fee here and there just to administer the account so it's deceptively expensive unless you're able to pay off your entire balance in one go (in which case why would you have bothered to use the card??). Their website is a train wreck; at least a third of the times we log on to pay balance it circles and circles and will not let us on. Who has time to try three times in a week to simply log on and pay? If you have any other options, give CareCredit a miss, imo.

I made a final payment on June 10, 2025, to completely pay off and close my CareCredit account with CareCredit/Synchrony Bank. The representative confirmed my account would be paid in full and closed.
Weeks later, I received a new charge of $156.74. When I called for clarification, a representative named Sandra was rude and dismissive, telling me that interest would continue even after the account was closed — which makes absolutely no sense and contradicts what I was told when I made my final payment.
I paid the $156.74 under protest, but this experience has been extremely frustrating and unfair. It feels like predatory lending, keeping customers in unnecessary debt even after full payment.
I strongly caution others to think twice before using CareCredit or Synchrony Bank. They do not communicate clearly, they mishandle accounts, and they treat loyal customers with disrespect.

They take your money and allocate it as they please so they take all your money and make sure have to pay a lot on their already ridiculous interest rate. care credit is awful. all of my promos were paid off except 2. My bank sent a check to pay off 2 promotions. they paid it on one and basically took the rest of the money. No one could tell me where the other $280. She offered to reallocate it and then she opened back up the promos I already paid off.I talked to 5 people and noone could help. now noone will fix it... its awful.. DO NOT USE CARE CREDIT

If I could give -5 stars I would. This place will suck you dry even after paying your card in full. I'm not going into all the details but this place is a scam honestly. They should be reported to the BBB. Pay your bill in full? They will continue to charge you interest for months. MONTHS

Most places - (Vets) don't take it now and they are like Citi bank will drop your credit limit without letting you know. I was always onetime and paid up and yet dropped it the limit when I needed it most. I refinanced my finances but paid off this still they dropped it. will never use it again!!!!!! And your customer service is in another country that does not understand English.

I thought this was supposed to be a good card for pet expenses since they usually offered a period of no interest with vet charges. I always paid my balances before the promotional period ended as with my other credit cards. However, in 2021 they opened a MC Rewards card without my permission (all credit card companies send new cards when the previous one expires so I assumed the newer card was the same). They created a $500.00 charge and refused to remove it even though NO purchase of mine has been $500 and it is on a card that was supposed to be closed. I requested the REWARDS MC to be closed more times than I can count.
I only ever wanted the ORIGINAL CareCredit card, not a MC rewards or any other card associated with them. With multiple cards they can easily create false charges. Then, they threaten your otherwise perfect fico score by contacting credit bureaus claiming a missed payment. I do not owe that money, but finally paid "under protest" by transferring to my Discover Card with 0 interest for the sole purpose of never dealing with them again. They still owe me $500.00

DO NOT TRSUT CARE CREDIT!!!!!!!!!!!
I was given care credit at the doctor and I was given a monthly payment amount of $65/mo to pay for the charges. I received no documentation, card, or anything. Last week they charged me an additional $500 in interest because apparently I if you don't pay it off in 1 year they will do that to you. No one ever told me. So this means I would have had to been paying them over $100/month. Then when they did this, they reduced my "credit line" to below $500 and reported it so my credit went down about 40 points. Then I had to pay off the FULL BALANCE, depleting my savings. SHAME on care credit for taking advantage of sick and disabled people in such a disgusting way. They are horrible humans.

DO NOT GET THIS CARD!!!!! They change the due dates and then the “customer service” is the worst ever! I’m paying mine off just to get away from the hassle! I hope someone files a class action law suit against them and Synchrony Bank. Both are out to rip us off!!!! DO NOT USE THEM

I’m quite frankly confused. If you have a “Freeze” on all your credit reports with all major credit reporting agencies, and the “Freeze” has not been lifted, then how can CareCredit claim I’ve got bad credit and deny me an increase? Especially when all payments to them have been paid on time and whatever is paid is always more than what is owed. I don’t recommend CareCredit to anyone. The sooner I pay them off the better.

Care Credit greatly helped me save my dog, Jigsaw! I am in between jobs so don't currently have pet insurance for him. Then, Jigsaw ate some trash on a walk and started vomiting everywhere - I had to rush him to the vet because he wouldn't stop! I was soooo worried that my vet would charge me all at once, but because I have Care Credit, they allowed me to pay over time, giving me time to get back under my feet!!! I even had to call customer service about a bill question, and they answered my question within 5 minutes! Cannot recommend Care Credit enough for helping me save Jigsaw without going broke!

What a bad company! The worst I have ever seen! Lying about fees adding extra fees and interest with no explanation! Try and talk to a manager is like pulling teeth ! I wish I never ever dealt with them 10 👎

Gave one star because they wouldn't let me give them no stars. Had a cat emergency. Got a care credit account. A month later, I Have yet to see my card. They got the billing part right. They have no respect for card holders. Your call is important, that's why they have a machine answer, that machine asks for the same blinkin information you'll have to repeat to an agent after an outrageous amount of hold. Can't trust them to call you back. The agent has little English comprehension. That's how important your call is. THERE IS ALWAYS A HIGH CALL VOLUME, showing they just don't have enough respect for customers to hire enough people. Plus "VERIFY YOUR ADDRESS." He's looking at it. Why? Send the card. Do the job right.

One star is way too high for them. Look at all these negative reviews! They shouldn’t be allowed to operate a business. I paid my bill on time and paid it off just for them to close my account lolll. Wonder if I can report them to the BBB for being unethical, thoughtless idiots?
