I have had a Barclaycard for over 40 years now. In all that time I have never had any issues and its worked well. It is one of the rare financial companies that seemed to have understood its customers.
There is only one thing that has cropped up lately and that is that the official Barclaycard web site is closing and either you will have to pay your bill through their ‘App’ or you will have to reregister with Barclays itself to pay online. I don’t want your app and because of this I am thinking its time to move on.
I know many older people feel the same. Such a shame. So five stars I have given are for the past 40 years.
