Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 48 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers frequently express dissatisfaction with customer service, finding it unhelpful, difficult to reach, and often staffed by individuals who struggle with communication or provide scripted responses. People also face significant challenges with account access and verification, including frozen or locked accounts, and repeated requests for the same documents. Payment issues are common, including unexpected late fees from autopay changes or difficulty scheduling payments. Customers frequently encounter problems with dispute resolution, feeling the company prioritizes merchants over their concerns and fails to protect them from fraudulent charges. Additionally, many users report unexpected credit limit reductions or account closures, often without clear justification, leading to frustration and negative impacts on their credit.

Surprised JetBlue still works with Barclays’. It has one of the most limited technology than most other issuers. No real supportive customer service. And their process of adding cards to Apple Pay... See more

I purchased airport parking and shuttle…

I purchased airport parking and shuttle to and from the offsite parking lot for an airport in Charlotte NC for my July 4th vacation. Long store short the company did not pick us up and shuttle us back to our car on the return end of our trip. We had to call and pay for an Uber. I did a charge back because they did not fulfill the agreement. Barclay's customer service is awful. When making credit card purchase it is just as important to have a credit card company that will stand by you and provide support to you as it is needed. This is not Barclay! Barclay sided with the company that I paid to provide me shuttle. I got no help from Barclay.

I have a Carnival credit card though…

I have a Carnival credit card though Barclay which was in my wife’s name as the primary holder, I was an authorized user, my wife passed away in May of 2021. I kept using the card with no problems, but in May of 2023 they thought my card was compromised so I called them and when they asked to talk to the primary user I told her she had passed and she said she would have to close the card and I would lose my Carnival fun points. I ask to talk to a manager and he said I wouldn’t lose them and just let them know when I wanted to use the points. When I went to use them the girl kept telling me I couldn’t use them because the account was closed, I ask to talk to a manager which she never did let me do, this went on for an hour, finally I was so frustrated I hung up and called a number they have given me a few phone calls earlier and got ahold of the nicest customer service person I have ever dealt with, within 15 minutes she had it all straightened out and I was happy to have this taken care of. I hope someone at Barclays see this and understand they need to get all their personal on the same page. Her name was Leslie and she was in Henderson, Nevada, she explained to me exactly what to do to redeem my points and now that I have redeemed them I wish Barclays recognizes her for a job well done, you need more employees like her. If Barclays would like to check this my name is Dennis Hollander

The employees at Barclays USA exhibit unprofessional and impolite behavior.

The behavior of the staff at this bank is both unprofessional and offensive. I have never encountered disregard, dismissiveness, and rudeness from a service team toward customers. It is unacceptable to refer to this establishment as a bank. Such conduct has no place in our country. Perhaps the staff should return to the UK and treat people poorly there. In the United States, we do not tolerate such behavior.
