Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard

Yes your card will Arrive and it will be great and will work great, until about a year later when Barclays decides to sell your account out to creditshop. There not only doing this to sub-prime people there doing it to everyone. When your card gets there, all your benifits go away to. And to top it off they will give you a bunch of fees and tell you your 30 days later. And if you think its a mistake and wait 30 days your account gets charged off. This happened to me. DONT TRUST BARCLAYS THERE ARE BETTER BANKS OUT THERE AND NONE OF THEM DO THIS. STAY AWAY FROM BARCLAYS IF YOU CAN!!!

This card is horrible.. I've been with them over 3 years and 6 months with a credit limit of $3200 not 3700; and out of nowhere they dropped it to $1600 without ever missing a payment which also dropped my credit score over 50 points. Now with this credit limit demotion, it will take my credit usage from 44% up close to 90%. Absolutely no consideration to their loyal members whatsoever. Then they had the nerve to use the old excuse that it was due to the information on my credit file, which was exactly the same or even more improved since I became a member. That was just a flat out lie. I can not stand unprofessional business dealings. I am beyond upset! I will do my best to take my loyalty to a company more reliable, with less deceitfulness, and inconstancy!

Stopped using them several months ago after speaking with a credit analyst who could hear but did not listen. Was refused a credit line increase request (simply trying to increase my credit score as a result of same) and without getting into the sordid details, let's simply say their performance opened my eyes and allowed me to apply for and receive a far superior rewards card as well as a better banking institution. Their poor handling of my simple request cost them a customer. I should also add that I emptied my online savings account with them and also found a more viable option. I'm quite certain their know-it-all credit analyst could care less.Maybe someday he will learn to 'listen' instead of simply 'hear'.

I just received this card. I was charged $15 for an overnight fee. I did not request that the card be overnighted. Poor customer service. I know it's just $15, but I hate paying for something I didn't ask for.

My experience every time I call with issues has been seamless...and no foreign accents! My score was about 700 when I got the card and they gave me a line of 20,000...so I think that a lot of these reviews are just BS. Great Customer Service. No Dispute issues. No deception. Awesome rewards.

I survived 4 years with this card. The sign up bonus is a huge plus and I loved that you can redeem points for any type of travel. The good stuff ends there. Let's talk about three things - Customer Service, Technology, and Benefits.1.. Customer Service. I have NEVER had a pleasant experience with them. Rude, don't call you back, and just really don't care about you as a customer. What do I mean? Let's use examples. a) Disputing a charge is impossible and takes 1-2 weeks for them to do anything about it. b) they'll detect a normal charge if I go to a different coffee place than usual and not give me the chance to approve it.. they will block the card and then state they can't overnight you one. So you wait.. for 5-10 business days, cardless. c) They randomly placed a "payment hold" ... after 4 years on my account. Never missed a payment, never had insufficient funds... and they for the second time in a month are stating it will take 2 weeks for it to come off. So they froze my credit. We tried to get it off and they had to conference my wife, me, and my bank.. but they didn't get that far. They didn't believe we were who we said we were even though we answered all the security questions. They started asking us to send them DOCUMENTS like our license, etc... WHAT!!! That was the last straw.2. Technology - If you care about technology at all or want to use the website or app, be warned - they are outdated and don't seem to be updating any time soon. They pale in comparison with companies like Chase and Citi. Also, if you are using Android or Apple Pay - TOO bad. They claim they are coming out with their own mobile payment system. Soooo.. yea, guess you'll have to wait for that.3. Benefits - Slowly declining. used to get 10% redemption of miles back, now you get 5%, not surprised if they take this away soon. Plenty of other cards to choose from - Chase Sapphire is a goldmine.

I applied for this card with a 703 score and was approved for $3800.00 dollars. I did not know that this card required excellent credit. I was interested in what the card had to offer. Especially the no foreign transaction fee. I travel internationally a few times per year so that combined with it being a MasterCard is what drew me in. The 12 months 0% also was a nice bonus.

I applied after living at my current address over 21 years and a FICO score of over 830 and got caught in their security.  This was my first application with Barclays and they requested hard copies of a drivers license, social security card, and a current copy of a utility bill.  I will not send a copy of my social card to anyone thus I asked them to disregard my application.  So be prepared if you are not a current Barclay customer.

Be careful with Barclaycard. I had Arrival Plus and it was stolen during my trip to Amsterdam. Immediately called customer service after I saw fraud notification. Was told no need to worry. However, a week later fraud team called me saying they were chip and pin transactions and they would put charges on me. Later spent monthly lengthy process with fraud detection team and Office of President, and they would not help me and look at the evidence I provided including police report. I have totally lost trust in this bank and I would not suggest anyone use this card!

Please read the reviews before you make the same mistake I did. I have excellent credit (FICO 810) but wanted to transfer 2,000 to Barclay card in light of the 0.00 balance transfer fee/rate offer. After applying for the card (I have never been turned down for credit in 30 years) I was told by Barclay my application was under review. I called once a week for four weeks and was told the same "review process" story. I realized something was not right and read the Terms and Conditions from their website. Barclay's site states "balance transfers that do not post within 45 days of your application will be charged the 13.99% APR." Their Terms and Conditions also state that "balance transfers will not be approved until 10 days after we mail your card to you. Additionally, the small print reads "it takes up to 4 weeks for balance transfers to post to your account." I realized Barclay card was stalling in approving my account so that the balance transfer would fall outside of their "45 days" period. I immediately called and cancelled my balance transfer request and withdrew my application from Barclay card. I then called Discover Card and the 2,000 balance transfer with them was a seamless process and posted to my account the following day. I was almost duped, and I wouldn't want another consumer to have the same experience I did with a creditor who is setting the rules then bending them to their benefit.
