gretta123 says "AND LL BEAN LOOSES ANOTHER CUSTOMER DUE TO THIS BANK!" about Barclays Bank of Delaware - Free Spirit Platinum Mastercard

I really hope LL Bean smartens up and drops this bank! They are costing them several customers (just search Google to see what I mean). Barclay's shady tactics and horrific customer service are beyond comprehension. I will never do business with anyone associated with these people - no matter how much I love their products. People work hard for their credit - and it's important to them. I certainly am not going to risk mine over a shirt of backpack. They constantly "loose" payments (or, selectively misplace them)...then charge customers a ridiculous late fee because of it...and proceed to jack the APR to some crazy amount. In over 20 years I have NEVER been late on a payment or had a credit card "loose" a payment....and I have NEVER been pushed to the point of no return with a CS rep.; to go as far as to tell them to "F--- Off!" Who needs to be aggravated to that point?!?

I find it very convenient that these banks always blame the customer for a "misplaced" payment...Really, how hard...

We have had this credit card for over 5 years with a sizable credit limit. Today we received an email from the Credit Card Company-Barclays Bank of Delaware...US Airways Dividend...they lowered our credit limit due to us paying off our monthly charges when the statement was due. No one in customer service could tell us why we were cut from the high limit to down to $1500.00. The one associate told us we never charged over $2,000.00 in a month. So why did they cut us down to a credit limit of just $1500.00 when we spend about $2,000.00 per month. We pay our credit card every month in full. With this credit card we pay all of our bills, such as electric, gas, phone, cell and extra. We pay on line. So what is the deal here. Do they not want out business? Do they not want someone who pays their bills every month, on time and paid the full balance off? What is up with this credit card company. We never received a notice in the mail when they raised our limit without our permission...

I got one through the Apple store when I was going to buy an ipod, with no interest. The sales person did not tell me that the offer was only good FOR THAT DAY! It went up to 29.99% when I used it a month later. They have NO customer service and I am warning you to please, NEVER do ANY business with Barclays, believe me, you will deeply regret it! I wrote a letter to Apple and went by the store on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, CA and they couldn't care less either. The staff was rude as was Barclays. I even explained that one of my best friends died in an auto accident, so that is why I didn't use it. Tough luck, and read the fine print was the response, spoken and implied. REALLY AWFUL EXPERIENCE. If you do use them, know that you were warned, and good luck.

newuser1 says "BARCLAYS BANK's VISA" about Barclays Bank of Delaware - Free Spirit Platinum Mastercard

I recently apply LLBean's VISA (BARCLAYS BANK's VISA) card because my old LLBean's VISA card was converted to Bank America VISA. I received a letter from BARCLAYS BANK asking my US passport copy to approve I'm a US citizen. I apply so many credit cards and this is first time I have been asking for US passport. I do not understand why? It is because I have a Japanese last name.
All the banks are using SS# to verify account IDs but BARCLAYS BANK. BARCLAYS BANK is totally RACAILLY DISCRIMINATING. We should not do business with them....

hitman08753 says "A worthless credit card and a bank that sucks!" about Barclays Bank of Delaware - Free Spirit Platinum Mastercard

My wife got this card to see if we can get a little break here & there when we fly out of AC, NJ. I carry little cash and use this card as our primary card. So our gym memberships are charged, EZ Pass, etc. I paid $600.00 online- their web site and it took THREE WEEKS for it to post to the account. It came out of my checking account with no problem, but because we are "New account holders", they did that! How the hell does that make sense? They suck!...

The worst banking credit card experience i have every had. the Barclays bank employee's, use race ,color ,to determine credit limits and worthiness. i spoke with several employee's of the Barclays bank accounting service department. after verbally asking me if i was Hispanic, puerto rician by my last name and verbal accent. i recorded the conversation. the bank employee's decided, that i was a high risk credit card user because i was in the group of Hispanic. i was told my credit limit was immediately decreased from the approved amount of $5,000.00 to $850.00.this decreased was done about 10-12 days after i received the credit card. this decrease was not based on my approved credit rating. but was base on the color ,race i am in . i filed a complain with the Barclays Bank of Delaware management. and received no corrected actions. they just send out a copy of the federal laws and the bank policy's. i also filed a complain with FDIC. the FDIC did nothing, they forwarded......
