Presidents Choice Financial MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

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.

I have had this credit card for under a year and twice have had to argue points that should have been added to my account. One of the promotions was: spend $60 at shoppers and get 20000 points. I spent $75 and got no points. Sent a note letting them know something is wrong. They told me I only spent $35. When on my PC the credit card clearly says I spent $75. Now it has happened again spend $100 get 25000 points. The response from PC we can't find that promotion. The funny thing is they just sent me the promotion again to my email. The PC insiders are a ripoff. The only thing that might be good is free pick up from my experience. Expect a lot of missing items in your order.

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.

The customer services is bad and they make it hard to dispute a transaction. My calls to customer services often got disconnected and I would have to call back again to wait in line again.

I usually use my other cards for higher-value purchases for better benefits. The only benefit Master World Elite (MWE) is for a few groceries from buying at your store.

I am a long-standing customer of PC Financial which offered to me this Master World Elite (MWE) card that I did not even apply for.

I just got a letter saying that MWE put in a new rule to downgrade cards when a minimum of $15k/year spending is not met. If I want to get another MWE, I have to reapply. I use my other cards at other stores that offer personal shopping, deliveries, better reward points and exceptional customer services that help during this pandemic. Why would I subject myself to apply for another card especially when it's really only good for your store?

I got this card for my daughter, so she wasn't always borrowing mine to order things online. My daughter was not working because of the COVID stuff so I have been making her payments, every 2 weeks I put money on her card, I got this months statement saying I didn't pay enough last month, so the card was suspended and the credit limit lowered, when I phoned to find out what was going on they told me I didn't make the full payment for the month before, and then they told me they had taken the payment I made on July 9th and applied it to June's bill, so it looks like I didn't pay my bill on time when I complain I was informed that they can apply the money to whichever month they want to and the only way to avoid this is to make 1 monthly payment on the 15th of every month...

I have called about 8 times now and each time they ask me for more and more information and than say I will be good to activate the next time I call and I call and they transfer me to a specialist. Why they are called specialist? They ask for a bunch of my info and yet my account is still not open. At this point when I call back tomorrow, I'm going to say I don't want to activate it and not worry about it. Because literally, a dog could give me better information. Sorry guys but you do not help at all I have had my card for almost two weeks.

I find it extremely difficult to ever get into my account. I am asked REPEATEDLY for a verification code, it won't accept my password, asks for a user name which it rarely accepts and repeats the process ad infinitum. I have made at least 15 calls (not an exaggeration) and the only agent who seemed to know what they are doing was the last one who did appear to solve the problem. Even then I had to finally give up as immediately I ended the call, the problem started again. Worst web site ever. I am now paying off the balance and will not use the card again.

I have been using this card for years and PC Master card has made money from what I spend. Recently, I was scammed by a free trial trap online. The scammers used Costco to make me think that it was a free reward from Costco. They hid important Terms and Conditions. I thought I only had to pay for the shipping of some skincare products. It was a month later that I know that I had signed up for a free trial and also autofill, which I had no knowledge of. I was charged $400 by the scammers. When I called PC to dispute the charges, the rep wouldn't even take this as a dispute. He said this happens every day. Since I clicked that button on the scammer page, where the important message is hidden somewhere, I have to pay the scammers and PC Mastercard cannot do anything. In a business world, shouldn't the merchant provide customers with a copy of the contract they sign? In this free trial scam, if you don't keep a screen capture of every page you went through, you really don't have any idea of what you agree with. Once you give out your credit card info and click that button on the screen, it is changed to another screen and the important info won't be shown again. The scammers won't be able to provide you with a copy of whatever you sign for. They ask you to check their websites. When another email from the same scammer popped up, I tried to pretend to go through the pages and managed to keep screen captures for all the pages. On the final page, hidden at the bottom, there are some Terms and Conditions. Comparing these Terms and Conditions with the Terms and Conditions on the scammer's websites, I find several key discrepancies. All this means if you don't have screen captures for all the pages you went through, you won't know what you have signed up for. Whatever the scammers say you sign, then you cannot deny it. According to the contract laws, shouldn't merchant provide customers with a copy of a contract? PC Mastercard knows exactly what these scammers are doing and they won't do anything. I will cancel my PC Mastercard.
