Don't want to be forced onto mobile app.

Uncertainty about having to use an app on a mobile phone. Might close my account if I can't manage my account in a safe environment at home. Unless M&S are going to give me a smart phone dedicated to that task.
People are putting too much confidence in the insecure tech world we are being forced to live in. I need reassurance. Suggested by M&S email to me.

What a sad strange Bank

What a sad strange Bank. Apply for a credit card, receive said credit card, receive pin number, receive a welcome pack, join the rewards scheme. Try to use the credit card, response sale declined. Contact alleged Bank, apparently for no apparent reason the card has been withdrawn. AVOID.

M&S Bank alienating older customers.

I don't want to download the app. My phone is full of useless apps. I am extremely unhappy to have to go back to queuing in my bank to pay my M&S credit card bill because they won't accept debit card payments online.

Embarrassingly bad

Awful, awful and then some more awful. The service has been contradictory and intentionally unhelpful from start to finish. Telephone advisors range from friendly and lying to ignorant and lying (at least there's some consistency there). Having paid everything off I am so happy to never have to deal with this circus again.

Hello, Lee.

Please accept my apologies, it doesn’t sound like you’ve had a good experience at all.

My colleagues are trained to offer a high standard of customer service, and I’m sorry if you haven’t found this to be the case.

I understand you have now paid off the card, but if you did ever want to discuss any of your concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch on the Customer Services number which can be found on our website.

Many thanks, Amy.

Please dont choose them

Please don't go with m n s as a credit card company. The inital 0% interest free gets you interested but it is a waste of time. Unfortunately, I used the cards to purchase tickets to travel to thailand in easter this year. Surprise surprise our flights got cancelled. Gulf air keep changing the refund date and m n s are no help what so ever in recovering the refund. Never in my life have I had such trouble. Stick with Amex or barclaycrad. No wonder m n s is in trouble.

Hello.

I'm very sorry to hear that you haven't yet been able to claim funds for your cancelled flights.

There are certain processes that our Disputes team need to follow in these circumstances, but I'm sure that they will be doing all they can to resolve this for you.

I do hope this is sorted out for you soon, and we can restore your faith in your M&S Credit Card.

Best wishes, Amy.

M&S service in decline

I contacted the helpline regarding a missing rewards statement, (I am old fashioned and still get them by post) it was a very lengthy process during which I was re-directed to the bank. The call handler didn't offer much information and it was only my suggestions of "Is there a minimum Rewards voucher value? Did I fail to earn this in the previous quarter?" £3 is the minimum which I didn't reach, Sept - Dec. She went on to send me an e-mail including £19 vouchers for an earlier quarter which wasn't relevant to my query, I thought this was so she could say she had resolved my concerns. No apology was offered for M&S poor communication, points carried forward from previous statement (normally included), would have enabled me to work it out.

Hello. Thank you very much for getting in touch to share your experience of your recent contact with us.

I’m sorry to hear that you weren’t given full information to help you resolve your query, or offered an apology. This certainly isn’t the service we’d expect our customers to receive.

We’d be more than happy to discuss your concerns further, or answer any other questions you may have about your reward vouchers.

If you’re a digital banking customer please ‘chat to us’ online, or call us on the number from the back of your card between 8am and 8pm each day.

Best wishes, Amy.

I've had the card for a while now and easy to use, I was offered 12 month 0% balance transfer, and was easy to do.
Only thing I dont like is m&s have withdrawn being able to make a payment with my normal bank account, which was very easy to do.

Sorted out the balance transfer very quickly, but charge a little higher than some.

Very quick response and the balance from my other credit card arrived safely and quickly too. The interest rate was a little higher than some, but I felt confident in the process.

What’s a bit of technical know how between friends!

Tried several times to do the digital logon which managed to complete just days before the offer ran out. However more user error and they really need to remember their customers raised in the very early 1960’s when there were no computers
However the service and the cs agents were lovely and I would give them 5 stars apiece as a credit to what they do. As usual it is the system that lets them down as it’s set up for tech savvy people
All happy now and do not let being non tech savvy get in the way as I eventually got there!

disappointed in M&S banking…

Sadly I was disappointed in M&S banking services. I spent a long time trying to payoff my credit card and then found it had not gone through and was given a late charge.

Needless to say I have now paid the entire amount off and won’t be using it again
