Presidents Choice Financial MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

Tried on numerous attempts to call…. Spent over 2 hours waiting for an agent to answer and née got through.
Never received the 100000 points with my PC Financial Mastercard. Fraudulent...
Their self-serve managing account is a joke.

Recently I received a credit to my PC MasterCard from an airline company.
The corresponding credit card had been compromised so another had been issued in July 2021.
The credit balance is NOT automatically transferred to the new card & I had to phone repeatedly to request the credit of over $1500.00 to be credited to my account.
After 7 phone calls & 7 weeks of speaking with multiple people this issue was finally resolved just yesterday Jan 21/22 ( they could all see the credit was there from Dec. 12/21
This customer service is absolutely horrible. The wait times on hold are terrible. At least 1 hour or more every time you try to get through.
As soon as my credit is used up... This card will only be used for grocery items that need not be returned.
This is the 3rd time my card has been compromised & I am extremely careful with it. I expect the high credit limit has something to do with it as my wife's card has never had a problem.
Also, my card is expiring & they told me my new card was mailed out over a month ago but I have yet to receive it. When I mention this ... they don't care! Just wait!

I spent over an hour on hold yesterday and an hour and a half again today with customer service for a blocked transaction and restricted access to my account online. Customer service is pleasant and helpful once you manage to speak with someone, but you are then transferred to security for another long hold time.

Waiting time to answer a client is more than 30 minutes… somebody answer and he will transfer you to another line and another 15 minutes.
Why not send me an email on how to resolve the problem rather than saying contact the number on my log-in page.
This is poor customer service...

The points are great and rack up fast and make it hard to cancel this card.
If you need to speak to someone, be prepared to wait. I waited over an hour three times and had to hang up. Responses through the portal can take over a month IF they respond at all and they make so many errors in their response and you end up having to start again. I got through the line only once and the connection was poor, the person didn't understand and put me on hold for over an hour twice. I cannot understand how such a big retail name such as PC would put up with this - it puts their name in a very unflattering light. I guess they are too big to care.

I called them at 7:20 am and I waited at least 45 minutes and finally gave up in desperation!
I then called back at 4:30 pm and it then took 75 MINUTES ON HOLD before a live person finally came on the line. I then had to be transferred to a 2nd person due to a search back to 2020 and that was another 20 minutes on hold before the 2nd person finally answered.
Very unprofessional for PCF to keep their customers on hold for so long.
It seems like management could care less about long waits in the queue, and call abandonment.
Now customer service is open from 7 am to 11 pm whereas it used to be open 24/7.
Customer service has really gone downhill here at PCF. Seems like the bean counters in upper management are more focused on saving money rather than providing quick and efficient customer service.

They make it all almost impossible to speak to a CSR. Every time you call they are having higher than usual call volumes. They only want you to use their automated system. If you ask to have a call back they never do. Worst experience ever.

The card has good perks for free low-end cards if you never have any questions. If you need to reach them, no one ever picks up the phone, you can do most of the things on the app or online but if you are stuck, you are screwed. If you get lucky & someone picks up the phone they will give you the dumbest answer possible.
