Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Ludicrously low credit limit.

Despite years of responsible use, making payments often to avoid going over the credit limit, the limit is still annoyingly low.
Response to reply:
The website only offers a chatbot. I don't use these as they are invariably dumb and useless!

To expand: my wife was a JL customer and took out this card, with me as a second user. We both have used and would like to use it. The credit limit was initially based and remains so, on her pension income only. Requests to update it as appropriate for our《joint 》income fell on deaf ears. So we have to use other cards.

The rate wasn’t what it as advertised…

The rate wasn’t what it as advertised online. I receive just over e120 to the pound instead of the. E112 on the internet before I left home. The lady said the rate wasn’t the online rate and they were trying to persuade customers to go online. She was complaining to her boss that she needed a break but they only opened at 10 and I was there at 10,30. She counted the money out in little piles all over the place and then they were getting mixed up. Was a bit of a mess and I wouldn’t use John Lewis money again to be honest.

Amanda was very helpful, pointing out an offer on travel money which I was not aware of. The whole process was quick, smooth, pleasant and efficient.

Simple online purchase of Euros

Our online purchase of Euros from JL was a very simple and straightforward process, made even better with a competitive exchange rate. We selected collection from our local Waitrose store, where it arrived on time a few days later. Here all we had to do was show photo ID, to receive our holiday money for Ireland. It was an excellent service which I recommend.

Why do John Lewis ask for proof of ID just to purchase currency?
In future I will go elsewhere.
