Does Not Protect against FRAUD

by Ridiculous! on Jan 2, 2024
1 out of 5 stars

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!

Lowered credit limit

by Startrail on Dec 25, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

I have no idea what I have done to this company. I have held this card for 1 year. I have paid more than the minimum payment on a $3000.00 limit card. Normally I pay $400 a month to the card. I have never missed a payment and never late. I paid off the card last week and this week I got a message - We make every effort to ensure that your President's Choice Financial® Mastercard® meets your needs. Due to your recent account history, we have decided that a lower credit limit would better suit your requirements at this time. Your credit limit has been lowered, effective immediately.

Your new credit limit is now $1,000.00

I don’t understand what I did?! I see others have expressed their frustration and disappointment about this card. I will be cancelling this card. $3000 was too low much less now $1000. I make $140,000 a year. I’m better off without a card like this.

Don’t even waste your time getting this card! It is a complete joke. Do not use this card before this company embarrasses you!

Bad customer service

by Manpreet Kour on Nov 25, 2023
1.5 out of 5 stars

I have a PC financial Mastercard which I hardly use to make a purchase. I used it once at Costco due to no other options and forgot to pay. PC customer service never sent a reminder via emails or phone calls that your payment is due and sent directly to collections. I have been using other credit cards and never experienced such bad services. I am done and cancelling master card.

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.

You get what you pay for

by Klaus H Noegel on Oct 27, 2023
2.7 out of 5 stars

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.

Worst experience with dispute person

by Rosie on Oct 26, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

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!

Blocked card

by Bill Haldane on Oct 24, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

Our card was blocked because we forgot and were late one payment. The notification we got was misleading because it said we had exceeded our limit (we weren't close to your limit). We have had the card for years and have paid off the total balance monthly. This was the first time we were late on a payment. I have never had a card that was so aggressive in its block.
