Presidents Choice Financial MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

I applied for a credit card 3 months ago. I was approved and had it sent to me. I moved the day the credit cards were delivered and when I went to activate the cards I was forthcoming about this information (I waited 2 hours on the phone before I was able to speak to anyone) as I wanted another card sent to the new address for my partner to use. I was told that they could not activate the card now as I recently moved and needed to reapply with my new address. Alright fine. I reapplied within the same day after getting off the phone. I was told I needed to provide the new lease agreement so I did. I waited a month with no answer. I called back and waited on the phone (waited 3 hours this time) to be told that the information isn't correct - it was missing a signature on the lease. Nobody had called to tell me this, but alright fine. I hung up and resubmitted it within ten minutes. Two more weeks went by so I called back again and waited another 2 hours on the phone to be told that the information had not been processed and that there was no need for me to call them to follow up as they will call me when the information is processed. I doubted that, but okay. I waited another 2 weeks before calling back (another 2 hours on the phone). The man on the phone told me that they had received the documents and he put me on hold to make sure that the information was correct. He confirmed that there were signatures and that everything was correct. He told me he would put a rush order on the card as it had now been 2 months since I applied. I was told someone would call me. Three weeks later I received a call from the very same man. He was now telling me that the documents he had confirmed 3 weeks prior did not exist and that they were still waiting for me to resubmit them from 2 months ago. He said, "If you're having trouble sending the documents we can try a different form of address verification". I cancelled the application then and there. I don't understand how a company that handles money can be so unorganized. Not to mention the wait times... 2-4 hours on the phone before speaking to someone is unacceptable. Going weeks/months without receiving a call back is unacceptable. I understand it's a pandemic, but at what point do covid wait times just become an excuse for terrible customer service management? Not to mention the call representatives clearly have no idea what's going on. I received contradicting information/advice every time I talked to someone. And then to turn around and blame me for not providing the information? Man... Get it together.

I have had a PC Mastercard for 15+ years. When it works, it's great. If anything goes wrong, getting any kind of support from PC Financial will be a nightmare.
A while back, the tap feature on my card stopped working. I ordered a new one. I tried to activate it on the website, but the system wouldn't let me enter the activation code. I called the helpline, which put me on hold and scolded me repeatedly for not solving the problem using their useless website. I waited for maybe an hour and a half.
During this time, I actually walked to a store location and visited the PC Financial kiosk. The guy there told me that PC Financial deliberately made people wait for hours for telephone support, and would not help me anyway.
I hung up and called the next day, and after another hour and a half on hold, I finally reached someone. She told me that she would not do anything to help me, and in a rude and disapproving tone, told me to do it on the website. I told her that the online activation wasn't working. So she told me to call a different telephone support line. I called that one, which sent me into a series of useless online menus, but wouldn't put me through to anybody.

They promise if you apply for a PC MasterCard you’ll receive 250,000 optimum points. Received my first 50,000 then waited on the phone for 2 hours two more times wondering where the rest of the points are. They inform me there is no such promotion and 6 months later I’m still here without my points.
Please read the reviews before you apply for this card it’s the worst customer service. So I just paid off the remaining balance and I will be making the 2-hour call to them to cancel my card it’s not worth the headache or aggravation that comes with dealing with this company.
RUN! There are better companies out there.

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!!!

Worst customer service ever... A lot of technical issues and so long wait time. If you have so many customer problems then hire more people.

Worst customer service and worst bank ever!!! Calling 3 times to talk with someone waiting in total more than 8 hours and no help at all!

I have called on several occasions and sat on hold for hours! I've talked to 3 customer service agents who were not able to help! The first one said a supervisor wasn't in until 9 and would call me back. The second agent was transferring me to a supervisor and he either hung up or the line dropped. The third agent just today took my number once again and the supervisor still hasn't returned my phone call! Such poor customer service! I work for a call center myself and this kind of business definitely wouldn't fly with them! You should be ashamed of how you treat your customers. My Mastercard still isn't activated. I wouldn't give any stars for this rating if it would let me bypass that part to finish!!

I'm just trying to cancel my deceased father's credit card and have spent a total of 7.5 hours on hold over the past 2 weeks to try to get a hold of a customer service representative. Absolutely insane and would never recommend it to anyone!

Had a fraudulent charge on the card, the card was not stolen.
Waited on the phone for over 3 hours before the issue was resolved.
Funny that when the new card came in, to get it operating only took 4 minutes.
This is unacceptable.

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.
