The application process was really excellent but I still haven’t received my Credit card after a two week wait! Why does it take so long?

I got my card through and it states you can view your account without a pin. I received my card a week ago and followed up to see where the pin was I even went into the branch and they activated it for me just incompetent rang thr customer service team I explained my account was up and running he still wouldn’t help me. I’ve now cut the card up and shredded and put all the details in the shredder. Save your self the bother and go with someone reputable !!!!!

The useless Barclaycard App!
I've no complaint with being able to use my Barclaycard, however after having my card used fraudulently, my urgent need to contact them left me exhausted! I have the Barclaycard App - it is great for checking balance but useless for anything else. Barclaycard insist I can contact them via this app - I CANNOT. There is absolutely no facility to either contact them or message them. I would have thought that a company as large as Barclaycard could produce an app with a user rating higher then 2.8. They expect us to soon use this App as the only way to contact them - I'll be changing credit cards very soon!

Cost of Living
Cost of Living. Prices going up and everything is more expensive, so when Barclaycard offered to increase my credit limit I accepted for the first time in 5 years. Just a little more breathing space. Thank you!
