Good for smartphone users... not me.
I hadn't realised that the Amazon Barclaycard was a different product and requires a smartphone to manage the account. I don't have one of these so the card is not for me.
However, the assistance I received from Barclays staff was excellent and I have no doubt their cards are well supported and ideal people with the right phones.

Stole my funds
Stole my funds! The operator didn’t even know what month it was when I phoned.
The balance was paid off to £0 and a refund was made as I sent some clothing back.
Barclaycard then decided to close my account with no reason. There was then £66.16 owed to myself.
After 30 minutes on the phone the operator finally says I’m not getting the money back!

Excellent experience at Barclays Bank Portsmouth 4
I had a very positive experience at Barclays branch in Portsmouth, thanks to Ify, who attended to me. She was extremely helpful, professional and patient throughout my visit. She took the time to understand my needs, explained everything clearly and made sure my issue was fully resolved.
Ify provided excellent customer service and went above and beyond to make my experience smooth and stress-free. Her friendly attitude and professionalism are a great reflection of Barclays Bank.

No more website functionality
Withdrawing website functionality is a big disappointment to me. App is full of bugs. Transactions are rounded if you export csv file. Key functionality is hidden away. I do not want another uselesss app on my phone I want a properly functional easy to navigate system/website.

I was on what 3 words app. Glug.rov corrupt company.
I was on what 3 words app. It wasn't working well. It said register a card, not the 3 numbers at the back, ssid no charge. Did so, then checked £1, phoned and messaged, not very useful over in India, all excuses can only sort when out of pending etc. Said I have reported, stop all future and that payment. 2 days later, £39.99 pending out of account, checked now gone out. Cannot message, fingerprint continuously. Phoned up spoke then went through security, then no one there but call open. Very poor! Think b4 joining unless they improve. I best get my money and for hours wasted. The company is GLUG.ROV ,well known for being corrupt on the net, be aware.

withdrawal of Barclaycard online service
I have two Barclaycards and have just registered for Barclays Online Banking because the existing Barclaycard online service is being withdrawn.
I have independently reproduced the problem described in a previous post. The transaction shown correctly online as, for example, £55.97 is exported by Barclays Online Banking as £55.00 in the CSV file. I have tested this with multiple transactions and on both cards.
Importantly, this is not a LibreOffice/Calc formatting problem: I opened the downloaded CSV directly in a text editor and the CSV itself contains the incorrect amount. The HTML export, however, contains the correct amount including the pence.
So the Barclays CSV export is demonstrably losing the decimal portion of non-whole-pound transactions.
The HTML export provides a usable workaround, but it is considerably less convenient for anyone who needs to import Barclaycard transactions into a spreadsheet or financial software.
This problem still appears to be present in August 2026, despite the issue having been reported in July.

Shocking service
Poor service all around
Applied for credit card but didn’t arrive 20days on.
Tried customer service online, app and branch nobody answered
Finally after 10 days of ringing I asked and they said there is nothing they can do and no option for replacement card.
I then asked to complain and suddenly after 2 min hold a next day delivery service became available.
Apparently Barclaycard has no connection to Barclays Bank which shows.
Callum from Barclaycard. I rang the number and spoke to a lady called Wendy 08:21 - 12 Aug
She told me that despite telling me they resolve my issue it won’t happen as this is the bank process
I asked to complain about the process, she said “you can complain all you like, barclaycard won’t review it action it in your favour” it’s our process and we don’t care if it does not work for our customers.
