5. CALLING BARCLAYCARD CUSTOMER SERVICES
Barclaycard is a multibillion pound business with millions of customers. So when you call their customer service department, you will likely end up feeling annoyed for the long wait. But this is an easy problem to resolve.
First, do not call during peak hours – go off-peak hours. There will likely be a lesser number of customers on hold, which will reduce the time you will be kept on hold. Next, call only during your free time. Don’t call during working hours or when you are in the midst of doing something. Otherwise, you run the risk of ending the call before your query is addressed.
It is also a great idea to note down the details of your query or complaint in advance. This way, you won’t forget any important details. Remember also to keep relevant documents, such as receipt and statements, close by instead of running to search for them midway through a conversation.
Finally, it pays to be polite to the representatives. Aside from basic human decency, showing your anger or frustration at some random person on the other end of the line won’t be of any help.

6. ABOUT BARCLAYCARD
Barclaycard, a subsidiary of banking and financial services giant Barclays plc, is the largest issuer of credit and debit cards in the UK, with around 10 million individual customers. In fact, almost half of all card transactions in the country involve Barclaycard. Its financial numbers are not released by Barclays plc, but they probably account for a significant share of the parent company’s £7.4 billion revenue (2017) in the UK.
Barclaycard has a long and unique history. Established in 1966, the company became the first credit card issuer in the UK when it released the British Barclaycard in 1967, licensed under Bank of America’s Bank Americard (which would eventually be rebranded as the Visa card). Interestingly, despite the approval from the Bank of England for the extended credit facility for consumers, no other bank released competing credit cards. Many even rebuffed attempts by Barclays to share the cost of a common national standard and infrastructure for credit card transactions – a far cry from today where banks are practically giving away credit cards.
