Kate. You did not help at all.

Having reported my dismal experience as a new Amazon/Barclaycard holder in a previous Trustpilot revue, I was surprised today to receive an email from Barclaycard asking for a review on my experience. This only goes to show a lack of hearing in regards to customer care and service.
When I posted my previous review I received a reply from "Kate" within 24hrs, apologizing and giving me a triple w address in order to be able to speak with her or a colleague.
How nieve I was to believe that...I spent the next hour being passed between three Barkclay Banking services,none of which deal with Amazon/Barclaycard. I was then told to ring another number, this ended up being the call centre in India that had refused to register my complaint in the first instance.(I'm still waiting for their promised call back)
So can I ask again, could someone please pick up the phone and call me, I just want to be listened too and have someone explain that my experience is not typical. Yours PDF

Easy to set up and we'll managed throughout

Very easy to set up, and being a Barclays customer already the card just shows up on my banking App which makes it easy to manage. They keep you up to date with the application process, and once accepted the card took around a week to arrive. Can't fault Barclays at all
