Sessioin Timed Out reappearing

I inadvertently closed the website page, but it would not allow me to log in again. I kept on seeing this 'Session Timed Out'.
Even after 4 trys, the same message reappeared. This is most irritating. On any other website including banks, one just needs to log in again with one's username and password.

Negative communication sent from M&S to…

Negative communication sent from M&S to Credit ref agencies.
Agreement says 3% or £5 whichever is higher on statement.
Paid 22.5%, arrived on account (Statement) in good time, 2 days before due.
Good history, paid on time and over % for years.
Account balance Nil when letter arrived.
Beware of this Banking Company
1) Do not have M&S Digital app, tried and would not work
2)Tried customer services by phone, lost over 2 hours trying to get through.
3)could not understand first advisor as garbled and distorted.
Got yet another bill, only 52p owing yet minimum payment £66.67
why have M&S become so unprofessional?

Good for M&S Shopping.

Generally, it’s a useful credit card, points build up & exchange for vouchers.
Paying the account is about to become more difficult as debit card payments will no longer be an option. I tried ‘pay by bank’ each transaction failed, two attempts from the two Banks I have current accounts with, not so good.

The app will drive you insane

This is in addition to the below . I asked for paper statements and they have sent me last months! So I can’t get on the app and they are chasing me for payment when I don’t know how much I owe. Chaotic. Can’t wait to close. I’ve already opened another card with my bank !

The App is the reason I would advise everyone to avoid using M and s money! I could have thrown the phone out of my window with frustration. I changed my phone and the re-registration was impossible. Over and over again I photographed my id , did my selfie and was rejected again and again. By the end, I had forgotten all of my password and codes and even my own blinking name. I will cancel this card as soon as I get into the app. I don’t have time for these fools

Awful experience

Awful experience. No easy way to change payment options, a complicated form needs to be sumbitted with ridiculous information just to amend your direct debit. When you ask when your 0% purchase agreement ends they encourage you to wait for a letter a month or less before the end period as 'notice'. Encouraging people to accidentally pay high interest rates. Awful. Never again.

Disappointed

I had a problem with a purchase made using my M & S credit card. The retailer was unbelievably bad so I decided to make use of the section 75 protection I had through my credit card (as Main Lewis suggests). I have been fobbed off repeatedly by the customer services team (I am unable to call them or speak to a human) and have been receiving copy and paste replies without anyone reading my actual complaint. I expected better.
Edit:
Social media gets a reply within 24hrs, I have been waiting nearly 2 months for a reply to a simple question, from the actual customer service team... I think this shows where their priorities are.

Hi Lea, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you're disappointed with how your Section 75 claim has been handled.
We would love the chance to be able to turn this around for you. We can't handle account specific issues through Trustpilot or social media platforms. However, if you reach out to us via Chat in the M&S Bank App or by calling the number on the back of your credit card then we will do our best to put things right. Tracy

Love this app

Love this app. Applied for a balance transfer in the app and money was in the account the next day. So simple and straightforward to use. By using the app I can keep tabs on my spending. Also, I can see how many months I have left to pay off the remains of the balance transfer. Therefore no late payment charges or nasty surprises. What is not to like?

It’s a bonus when you receive reward vouchers

It’s a bonus that you can save money with the reward vouchers which are issued on a regular basis. My credit limit was reduced when my credit rating was lowered due to a false debt claim by Vodafone. I informed Marks that the rating had been reinstated to excellent and my limit was restored.

Hi, Hazel thanks for your review. We’re really pleased to hear you enjoy saving with the reward vouchers. Sorry you had the hassle with the Vodafone claim affecting your credit rating, but glad it was sorted and that once your rating was back to excellent, your credit limit was restored. We are always here if you need any help. Tracy 😀
