Presidents Choice Financial MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

I applied online and got an instant email with congratulations and card will follow in 7–10 days. I continued to get emails to activate for extra savings at gas pumps and shoppers drug Mart. Three weeks later, I called and was on hold for 20 minutes. I was told that the card was canceled due to my credit. The representative said I could reapply in six months . I was pissed as I pay my bills on time. I called them again, next day and was told it was the cancelled due to the process???? I asked for an email explaining what I was told. The gentleman said they don’t do that. He was in the Philippines. I never got one email, phone call explaining this so-called process. What a disservice and fabricated process. Shame on President's Choice!!!

Although this company has an agreement with Shoppers Drug Mart and people are generally happy since they are getting points, any time there is a fraudelence in your account, the support is bare minimum.
I had a fraudulent charge on my account from a photo shop in NY where I haven't been since more than 15 years. When I complained to PC, they first refunded that amount, but then called me back when I was away for 3 weeks on vacation and then added that amount. Since then, this issue was not resolved. If I had these issues with another credit card company, like major banks, they would have been resolved long time ago. Finally, I took my complaint to the Ombudsman and waiting to hear a favorable solution.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CREDIT CARD TO ANYONE. ALL OTHER VISA CARDS OFFER POINTS OR REBATES. DON'T LEARN THE HARD WAY LIKE I DID!

The worst customer service I've ever experienced. I disputed a charge and submitted all supporting documentation - instead of a credit back to my card they processed a debit. So now I've paid for this twice and nobody seems to be able to reverse this.

More a headache the longer I have it. Every time I get an non native English speaker they tell me the charge is not fraudulent and send me to the dispute department. I did NOT make the charge! That is Fraud. After 8 phones calls I finally got an native English speaker in Disputes who fixed my problem, re issued me a new card and sent it back to fraud all done for them! and I got my $$ refunded

I have a dispute issue and same thing with non native speakers, they can NOT communicate, do not listen to what you say and do not do what they say. They claim my dispute is being cancelled due to inability to contact the seller, which is my problem. And told me they cant help me, do it yourself. Its obviously some kind of scam, as the minute I applied for a refund the agent when awol as well as my Credit Card company, whom is supposed to help me!

Terrible service!

I canceled my account on 2018 with full balance has been paid. After years I realized they left $1 on my account and ruin my 4 years of credit history.

Used to be very easy and reliable master card to use. Customer service is horrible, wait on call for more than an hour and then your issue is not being resolved. Canceled my card!

I had 4 charges of frauds FROM AIRBNB on August 18, 2023:

I phoned PC Financial at and spoke to a lady to report these frauds
and I got the corrections (refunds) of 3 frauds next day but then PC Financial put these 4 charges of frauds back to my account again. I tried to contact PC Financial again to find out the problem but failed to contact them, I were put on hold for 45 minutes and then the connection dropped. I phoned again and got the same respond (holding for 40 minutes and the connection dropped). I will try again to dispute these frauds from AIRBNB and then I will cancel my PC credit card after 25 years using it for its grocery points.

I was charged $1400 on PC Mastercard for a service I never used. I disputed the transaction, PC said they would get back to me within 5 business days. I didn't hear anything until I called them a month later and they said no one had looked at the file, but that they would push the matter and someone would get back within 2 business days. I didn't hear back until I called another month later. They said, someone left us a voicemail on a friday afternoon and that we were instructed we had 2 days (over the weekend, while we were off the grid) to respond or the matter would be closed. We found a voicemail that was completely inaudible, which I assume is PC. We were told that they can't reopen to dispute and that the matter is closed. We made a formal complaint and again, we were told someone would get back within 2 days. It's been a month and I haven't heard a peep. After 15 years, we moved on to another provider, as we DO NOT TRUST PC WITH OUR MONEY!

The worst customer service I have ever seen! Waiting time is always over one hour. Never get a solution the first time...

After so many years as a loyal customer, it is disappointing to know that when times are rough this company is not loyal to their customer. Paying the full balance is all fine and dandy until you come into hardship. I have been hung up on and transferred to departments that have no idea why I am calling. You lose your PC points at their discretion. Very very disappointed and will not recommend this card to anyone.
