Just recently got rid of my annual fee World Elite BMO card in favour of the no fee World Elite PC card.
I've been using credit cards for everything as we live quite remote and rely on online shopping. Also I need a "large" card because I need to travel for work alot and require features like the included car insurance.
The PC card arrived in the mail with no problem. The issues started when we tried linking our existing PC account to this card. It just simply would not work. Also many time I did not get points a PC store as the cashiers don't know how to run this cards to give you the points. (They need to swipe them twice apparently).
The worst part was, that my new PC card become compromised after about three weeks of using it. Someone, somehow spent $3,000 before this fraud was detected by myself. I've received a fraud detection text message from PC after the damage had occurred. PC opened a fraud case and most of the money has been refunded except one larger charge. It has been over ten days and I still haven't received a new replacement card yet. Once this fraud case has been resolved I will most likely cancel this card and return to an annual fee BMO or RBC Mastercard.
I was offered a vacation package that I saw in Mexico. I was stupid to believe all their lies. I realize this people are not honest, right away I call presidents choise to diapute the transaction. They told me because it was pending they cannot dispute it. So I waited. It was February when I signed a dispute form. But it seems like they are not doing any inventigation. I called many times and waitied for long call wait time. They said it takes 90 days to close this dispute. But it took till October. It took them 9 months and just to tell me I lost my dispute at the end. I will close all my accounts with this company. Their customer service is worst. They dont care about you, they didnt support my dispute even if I dont use any service of the merchant! And it took 9 long months for them to decide! Worst experience with this company. I will not deal with this people again!

This experience from beginning to end has been such a nightmare. So frustrating every time we had to deal with customer service.
Hours on the phone, dropped calls.
If long wait times upsets you, then this place will be really upsetting! I’ve called 4 times in past 2 years & each time it gets worse not better! They can’t make excuses for certain times as it’s all the times these four times are only the times I’ve waited on phone, it’s really been about 12 but I thought I would hear a time when they don’t say ”we are extremely busy & long wait times”… but this is on every time!
Also, they are not like every other credit card where they offer credit increases automatically… it’s a waste! Highest interest out there!
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 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 most frustrating customer service I have ever had to deal with. I have probably spent 8 hours in total trying to get a hold of somebody, and a majority of the time I'm just hung up on while being transferred. I've been told on numerous occasions that I would receive a call within 24 to 48 hours from my supervisor, and 5 days later I got a call that I happen to miss. So I called back in minutes after and said "I just missed a call from management, can you please transfer me"? I was told I would get a call back within three to five business days.
On top of this I have provided two different instances of fraud on my card, they have decided to ignore it because I had given the merchant my credit card number for a transaction previously.
I would advise anyone else who is thinking of getting a PC Financial Mastercard to go with somebody else, this is by far the most frustrating credit card interaction I've ever had.
I am cancelling my card as soon as I use my PC grocery points.
The representative was not helpful at all. I asked him to explain what he just read off the paper because it was unclear what he was referring to and he just re-read the same line numerous times as pretty rude about it. It seemed as if he was only able to read a script. While I tried to explain a few things going on with the case he kept interrupting me, and I don't mean once or twice, the majority of the conversation was him trying to talk over me.
Hopefully, they recorded the call for "quality assurance"
Pull out your PC account!!! Not worth It!
PC Financial has the worst customer service! Promising clients and keeping them hanging for almost a month. Always telling someone will call back and up to now no one calls!
Non-sense supervisor in online or phone calls. I do suggest getting rid of your supervisor if they can't even help clients!

Trying to speak to someone to contest a charge on my card: I called 3 times, got hung up 2 times, I spent well over 3 hours waiting and still no results.
Their online form to make a complaint is not working either, it's ridiculous.
DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THIS COMPANY!!!

I’m sorry I don’t appreciate being put on hold for 25 minutes and then getting locked out of my account I would 100% not recommend this card
