i have this card for 20 years, i was outside Canada for 2.5 months, they upgrade my PC Mastercard, so I have to pay $120/year then I miss 2 payments, I called to explain, they didn't cooperate, then I canceled my cards, there customer service very bad, be carful

Horrible experience trying to contact a human, and now I've been on hold for almost an hour. I'm about to hang up having just wasted over an hour of my time in total. Then there's the voice that comes on every couple of minutes saying my call is important to them. Just brutal.

Absolutely one of the worst companies to deal with. Statements are either not available, or not accurate at all. I am clicking on multiple different dates to view, and they are all coming up identical, with the same "Dec 10th" statement date.
Customer service is horrendous - waiting for 1/2 hour on phone only to be disconnected.
Brutal. I have zero trust in this entity.

The worst customer service ever. They keep advising to switch from paper to paperless and after that they never inform me online or by email the due date to pay the bills. Them they charge me with interest . When I call they put me on hold for 45 minutes then they answer . I ask why you applied charge interest they transfer me to someone else I wait another half hour and after I wait 75 minutes they keep transferring until I hang up without any help. Now they kept charging me interests 3 times. I will close this account. They are the worst financial institution ever

Terrible customer service. Very long wait times, sitting on hold when calling for what turns out to be ineffective support. Sent upgrade offer that can only be accepted online, but of course website is down with "Access denied" error. Called for support, and told I can only accept offer online, and to keep trying every day. No advice on options when offer expires while website still down.

Calling customer support and in the background people laughing and so loud and the person keeps making you repeat yourself... just wow!

Horrible experience. Waited for so long and when representative picks up she drops the call after a few minutes.. Really frustrating experience.

I would give 0 stars if I could. Customer Service needs restructuring

J'ai toujours été satisfaite de mon expérience avec Optimum, c'est mon programme de récompense préféré. J'ai pris la carte de crédit Mastercard PC il y a quelques années et je n'ai jamais eu de problème. Hier, j'ai tenté de faire une transaction en ligne, mais elle était refusée alors j'ai appelé le service à la clientèle. J'ai attendu 30 minutes et la ligne a coupé. Je n'étais pas contente, mais je voulais régler la situation alors j'ai rappelé et la même chose est arrivée. J'ai aussi envoyé un courriel et ce matin c'est revenu en me disant que le message n'a pu être délivré. Je suis venue voir les avis et je me rends compte que tout le monde a la même expérience. Je trouve ça inacceptable, surtout quand la compagnie offre des produits financiers et des comptes bancaires. S'il y a de la fraude ou un pépin à l'étranger on fait quoi? Bien de j'aime les avantages, je vais limiter mon utilisation de cette carte, car je n'ai plus confiance.

Longest wait times ever for customer service. Expect 1hr plus any day, any time of day. Difficult transaction dispute process.

Worst customer service. - Take a day off if you want to open a dispute / reach customer service etc. And have lot of patience.

One of the worst companies that I have ever dealt with!
After making a monthly payment, interest charges were added to my account which put my account over the limit by $100. On the same day that they cancelled my account, it was sent to collections.
I do not recommend this awful company!!
If you are in need of a credit card, apply to Canadian Tire Triangle! Amazing company and customer service there!

Terrible customer service, almost no service at all. Put my on forever hold all the time. They wait until you loose patience you hang up first. Next time I called, same thing. Warning, don't sign on any extra services like Payment Support Plan. It is a complete scam. There is no way to make any changes or cancellation

Horrible experience. This is the worst advertisement to actual performance divergence I have seen in Canada so far.
I was on my own getting groceries at Super Store at Heritage Valley Edmonton on December 26 2025, when a lady approached me to promote the PC Financial MasterCard. I should have just listened to my instincts which typically avoid rigorously advertised traps. We debated the points of my refusal to enroll for over 30 minutes as I tried to wriggle out of the marketing gimmick that focused on points and credits.

At the end, not wanting to make her regret taking a role where she never wins, despite trying so hard, I agreed, warning that I do not buy things on credit because I don't gamble with my credit rating, and I already had bad experiences with advertised credit cards prior to that. She assured this would be different, that I could start using the app, and that I would get my card in two weeks.

January 16th, full 3 weeks later, no card delivered. I went on a hunt for this lady multiple times. Called phone lines endlessly to no avail, and eventually got her around the 16th of January. Then another promise of two weeks to receive card in my mailbox.

January 30th, two weeks, no card sent. Another round of fruitless search and the marketers are nowhere to be seen.

It is now February 20, 2026. My credit limit is exhausted. I'm getting warnings. No means of paying off balance. I was on autopilot calls for hours and eventually get a response that sounded more like fraudsters online than customer service people: imagine saying PC Financial never asks for sms codes sent to me but insisting I need to disclose mine to get help from you?

I am transferred between calls just as fraudsters do when one is not winning, and finally advised to wait for another two weeks for another reissued card. I'm also advised to download statements to find account number to pay off.

At this point, my balance stood at $1013.12, over the 1000 limited which I had actually not reached from my spending. I then paid off the $ 1013.12 to the account number.

On the following day, payment has not reflected even though my account was debited. My fine for default in accumulating as I was charged another $30 for late payment that was in no way my own making.
Very disturbing experience.
Does anyone know how to resolve this sort of helpless situation?

Just got a card with them and I'm already regretting it. My approval email was supposed to come with a ton of information in an attachment apparently, but they forgot, and now I can't even access my account whatsoever. Absolutely ridiculous.

PC Mastercard sent my log-in code to my Gmail. i usually have the code to my cellphone. When I was unable to access my Gmail, PC locked my account. I have unsuccessfully tried to contact customer service, but only received an AI voice "assistant." It told me to call back during business hours. Why don't they have 24/7 customer service reps like other C/C companies? I will pay off my balance and cancel the card. I am sick of dealing with this company.

I wish I can rate pc financial

I had reported my credit card compromised so they cancelled it and I did get a new one. It took a long time. During that time I had two credits that have not shown up on my credit card. I’ve been trying since December 3 to get those credits put on my card and they still are not there. I have sent numerous emails. Nobody is responding and those refunds don’t reflect my balance speaking with other people this has happened to them as well very poor customer service very disappointed in this service as I love shopping at Shoppers drug mart but they also have messed around with my points and I have not gotten what I’m supposed to get as well in that area.
I believe the total amount that I’m supposed to get credited is $290 and it’s nowhere to be found. No one‘s getting back to me. I just wanna pay off this card and cancel it because if this is how they handle things I’m not interested and they’ve proved me right. Poor customer service no sense of urgency to help me disappointed
Everything started on December 3 until right now I have sent emails ( and sent complaints through their option on the app for the first few weeks when this happened) They had gotten back to me saying that they’re going to take care of this but nothing‘s been done not a trustworthy credit card.

Date expired and never sent me a new card.
Other credit card people are interested ,so good bye.

PC insiders Mastercard is honestly the worst of the worst. The promised promo optimum point offers if you ever actually receive them take 8 weeks to see in your account. The Optimum program itself to receive any real benefits is incredibly daunting and not worth the exhaustion. When I compare my Scotia gold Visa Scene points for instance where you get your points regular and bonus points right away(no 6-8 week wait?!)..its not close. The Scene points show up in your Scene account instantly and so much simpler to earn points and offers. The customer deserves to see any promotion points they have earned right away.. which only makes sense!? Also, the customer service wait times when on hold at PC are 60 minutes or more and prove pointless once you finally connect. The poor CSR's are given only basic training re loyalty program etc and will only frustrate you into submission. The call centre experience for a credit card company is truely unexceptable quite honestly. It does not seem reputable at all. I have had many different loyalty credit cards through the years and this PC insiders card I have to rank at the bottom. In my view stay away and go with an "actual true" banking credit card. Its just not worth the frustration if its the points you are after. Thanks and take care

This bank is really good but as much as I enjoyed my time with them i was very disappointed with some of the way they operate. I didn't like the fact that I couldn't pull money out of my account for any amount that i tried. Called customer service and was told has to be $500 and under, went back to try and was still not able to access my money..
