I was a fan and user for more than 10 years

by Alan Wing on Jun 27, 2022
1.3 out of 5 stars

Then in 2018 and on, my account is blocked due to small outstanding balances for a little more than 30 days. And the interest chargers they made were outrageous.
Since paying my last bill in Jan, they froze and blocked my card access. I have no balance owed. And I have no idea why they blocked my account. My only option is to phone. But I have given up on trying to reach PC Financial. This is an atrocious credit card service!

I saw these reviews after I got approved

And was worried. I didn’t use the card but then decided to. Well, it’s true. I was using it and suddenly a transaction got blocked as fraud. Okay! Then I receive a text message asking me to confirm the transaction as legit or fraud. Okay! It’s legit, now give me my card access back! It never worked again anyway. Fast forward a week, finally, I get a statement! But oh no, I can’t log in to my account anymore and I must call customer service! So what happens if they can’t help me? Does my credit go to hell because I can’t even pay my bill?

Very frustrated dealing with PC Mastercard! Got the card in the summer during a promotion of 100,000 points. Get the card… don’t get the points, advised I applied wrong:( ok. Keep the card then in December get a letter advising my card will be frozen if I don’t provide ID( keep in mind I have been using this card for roughly 6 months. 4 yes 4 hours wasted told to go to PC store to resolve.. guess what not must send on “ possibly “ secure email. Then on vacation and card is frozen! Call they want to again verify Id. Is this card worth the bother???? Caution to all!!!

Long wait times even to fix their error

by Kajal on Jan 26, 2022

They made an error on my account (according to them) and I have been waiting for an hour and 30 minutes counting to talk to them so they can fix an error on their end. This error has caused me to be locked out of my online account so this is my only option.

Long wait times!

I've attempted to call PC Financial customer service at least 7 times and I've only been able to speak to a representative once for a short 3 minutes only to be told I need to be transferred to another representative to help me with a block. Each wait time was between 1hour - 3hours. Awful customer service. Avoid at all costs!

Customer Service

I waited 3.5 hours to report fraudulent charges on my account and to request a new card. If that wasn’t bad enough the representative on the other end of the phone was condescending and he wouldn’t answer my question why it takes 10 business days to get a new card. I don’t think it’s right that they send replacement cards using snail mail, needless to say, I’m pissed and not even sure that I will activate the card, it’s harder to get points now and God forbid you to need to call back and speak to someone. Extremely disgusted with this experience and their poor choice of employees, and please do not blame this on Covid.

Disappointed, appalled and disgusted with PC Financial services!

by Unimpressed on Jan 7, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

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!

Randomly shut down account

by Rita Zuk on Jan 3, 2022

PC Financial randomly just shut down my account. No explanation or anything. I had never been late on payments etc. I spent hours on hold and days of emails before a response from the company.

Blocking my account every 2 weeks while I’m paying the card in full… All the time !

by AGD on Dec 7, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

Absolutely horrible on every level. They keep blinking my card even though I’m paying my statement in full! Clearly, if you’ve received my payments over and over and know my shopping habits, then you shouldn’t be blocking my card. If I’m entering my pin, it’s me!!! If you’re scared of fraud then don’t run a credit card company. Or if I haven’t paid my bills in full!

I can't even see my balance.

by Beatrice on Nov 5, 2021

Apparently, something happened with my card. What it was I don't know. No one will tell me anything. Been on hold on a phone for hours waiting to talk to someone to find out what happened. When I finally got a representative they couldn't tell me the reason why my card is not working, they are doing some sort of investigation? I was transferred to 3 different people, all of whom couldn't tell me any reasons for my card freeze. I can't even access my account online to see my card balance. It's been 7 days now! I have reoccurring bills attached to that card. This is completely irresponsible and unacceptable. I finally got told that they will mail me a new card. Great, still no explanation, and still can't see my credit card bill. I pay my credit card off in full and on time. These people are beyond negligent. This is criminal. Needless to say, I am now getting two new different credit cards. You can't rely on this card.
