Soon as this card expires I'm done!
You can't even talk to an alive person anyone...
So I set up a chat - no response.
Telephone wait times are always unreasonable. I had my card stolen and though I was able to report it stolen and have it cancelled relatively quickly online I waited over 2 hours by phone to report fraudulent charges. As I couldn't always wait over 2 hours each time this had to happen three times. As I'd reported illegal charges my online account was frozen and I had to call in to have it unlocked. Again, 2-hour phone waits. I could not activate the new card as I was locked out of my online account and after waiting 2 hours 20 minutes the call service operator had to refer me to the fraud security department. I said I would not wait another 2 hours on hold and I was assured this would not happen. After a further 30 minutes on hold and no answer, I hung up, emailed requesting a paper copy of my account be mailed and to close my account. I cut up the never-activated card and see no use for this product.

You will literally wait on hold for Hours to talk to someone.
I've tried to resolve some issues over the past couple of weeks. 48 minutes the first call was on hold.
An hour and 20 minutes the second time
And the third time was an hour and 40+ minutes
Just terrible.
Stear clear if these guys.
Waited 1.5 hours for the support online only to be told to transfer to PC Optimum. PC Optimum support then sent me back to PC Financial for another 1.5 hours wait for the call. Then the support cannot understand English properly and told me she had a problem with her system!
This is horrendous and absolutely unacceptable!
The wait times to speak to someone have become ridiculous with PC Financial MasterCard. A 45-minute wait to speak to someone is not very professional. I'm very disappointed that, despite many requests to improve this, nothing changes and our concerns fall on deaf ears. After many years of being a valued customer, this will be the end of our relationship.

I am already 1 hour and 5 minutes on hold to report a lost card. This is absolutely unacceptable.
Customer service has a long wait time!
I have been waiting for more than 30 minutes to speak with the customer service representative!
If they can not support find an alternative way.
Impossible to get phone support. The activating card appears to require you to "set" i.e. change password then gives you a warning about problems you may experience with the password. The feedback tab doesn't appear to work with Edge.

I have had this card for almost 15 years and I have seen the customer service plummet. They no longer care about the customer and have wait times of up to 2 hours to be able to speak to an agent. They give the option of doing things online with their self serve options however those are limited and you end up having to call and waste a full day on hold just to be transferred multiple times to resolve the issue (in this case removing the PC insiders product from the card - which also, by the way, is a joke and not worth the $120 annual fee).
If there was an option to rate 0 trust me I would have. Rest assured I'll be paying off my balance and cancelling!
Worst experience and card!

To say that I am beyond disappointed, appalled and disgusted with PC Financial services is a gross understatement. I've lost an entire day at work on the phone with PC. That's almost 8 hours of holding and waiting for my issue to be resolved.
I've been a PC Financial customer for less than a month and I was in the process of moving to PC Financial. However, within the space of 24 hours, my account has been restricted four times. I've spent an ENTIRE workday on the phone trying to get a hold of someone. Everyone I spoke to was helpful yet not.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
