Terrible customer service wait times over 2 hours!

by Joanne Tabinski on Oct 13, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

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!

NOT SAFE

by Bob on Sep 1, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

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!

They overlooked $2000 of fraud on my card

by Nick Sonsini on Feb 6, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

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!

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!

Worst customer service ever

by EtienB on Jul 5, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

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 have been trying for the last couple of days to speak to someone about getting a new credit card as the card I currently have may have been compromised. Of course, the wait times to talk to someone on the phone is unbelieveably long to the point where you give up waiting. To go online, and you ask for a "live agent" the system spews out everything you do not want. What gives? Are you trying to lose customers? I ended up having to lock my account and decrease my credit limit as I do not want to risk someone using my card. This company does not seem to care about their customers because if they did their service would be a lot better. This company does not even deserve a rating of 1.

Worst Credit Card and Customer service experience EVER

by Jose Saldana on Dec 2, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

Anyone looking to get double charged on your account using PC Express? Do you know? That nifty feature, allowing you to purchase a product from your home and then go to collect it at a later date? I used it for the first time ever and later found out that not only did they charge my credit card on file, I ALSO had to pay when I got there. Looked at my PC App and saw a charge on there. So basically you'll be paying double and then wait 5 full business days to get your money back. Who honestly comes up with this? So poorly planned. Do they also have anyone working there?? I feel like no one is ever there when I need to talk to someone. I am so going to cancel this credit card. So much trouble for little reward.

Unhappy customer

by Unhappy customer on Oct 15, 2021

Paid card off Oct 1. Purchased something on Oct 7. Since then unable to use our card... unable to get help. Unable to email for help. Unable to log in as access is denied. Unable to phone. Have been waiting over 1 hour with no response on 3 occasions. Terrible service. Can’t imagine if we would lose our card or have it stolen what we would do. Hopefully, there is no fraud happening. As soon as I can I am cancelling my card.
