Congratulations, you’ve been selected to apply for PayPal Credit. Based on your PayPal purchases, we think it could be a great fit for you.  ::)

My mum is 92 and on her state pension. She was selected for a PayPal credit card. She didn't take them up on it, unsurprisingly  ::)

So . . . . .

17th Nov applied to Santander for a Mastercard, told paperwork would arrive within 10 days needed to be signed and returned. :)

12 days later spend 2 hours getting through to them to say nothing had arrived to be signed. >:(

2nd lot of paperwork arrived 6th dec, signed and returned in post same day. :)

Yesterday I got an email saying I had 65 days of my 90 day free credit left. >:(

Today my phone app was updated, but the middle 8 numbers **** out ;)

More time on the phone tonight and still bo one picks up the phone. :-\


Pathetic service

Amazon applied one day, active the next and a card delivered a few days later. :y :y :y

The expected change regarding the use of Visa credit cards on Amazon.co.uk will no longer take place on January 19. We are working closely with Visa on a potential solution that will enable customers to continue using their Visa credit cards on Amazon.co.uk. 

Should we make any changes related to Visa credit cards, we will give you advance notice. Until then, you can continue to use Visa credit cards, debit cards, Mastercard, American Express, and Eurocard as you do today.

Thank you for being an Amazon customer.



I reckon quite a few people had started shopping else where and forced Amazon to change thier minds.  ::)

Yes, indeed.  In retail you tread a dangerous path in ignoring your customers preferences, and in this case Amazon tried to do just that.  As big as they are, the usual rules of keeping your customers happy still apply and it seems "pressures" made them reconsider what they were proposing. ;)

I recall reading a while back that Santander were voted worst for customer service 8 years on the trot at one point, so they have certain low standards to keep otherwise another Bank would take the top spot for being worst.  ::)
Same with anything I guess, some have good experiences and some bad. My parents bank with Santander and as I'm LPoA for them Santander made my life extremely difficult. I had carers to pay but they blocked the account, as one department hadn't notified the fraud department, even though I'd sat in their branch and showed all of the necessary ID's and proof of LPoA.

The reason Amazon are offering £20 for any Mastercard and £40 for their own brand is all to do with credit card fees. They offer more money for their own because they hope you won't settle in full each month and, therefore, pay interest.
Not to mention that their's will undoubtedly be via their own clearing house, thus saving on the fees that shops have to pay the clearing houses on every transaction.  This can be up to 5-6%, depending on clearing house and turnover.
