Great customer service. Not too hard to get through security, understood the issues quickly and dealt with them competently. Just a pity that the you have to open a new account every 12 months.

The call dropped for several times

The call dropped for several times. Tried over 6 times to get proper information with my problem. It ended up closing my account even without proper discussion. Sadly, even with the last call attempt, problem was not properly resolved.

Cannot fault the experience I received…

Cannot fault the experience I received from the Tesco Customer Service operator in helping me with my enquiry. He was really helpful whilst remaining professional and he helped me achieve my aim in resolving my enquiry. Top class advisor. Credit to Tesco and empathetic in his dealings. Built a perfect customer relationship.
