Is there UK Telephone number for Barclaycard/Mastercard?
17 Answers
We're tearing our hair out here ... we're going on holiday to the US tomorrow. We have a Barclaycard and a Mastercard. We haven't ever used the Mastercard and have mislaid the pin - so we thought it would be handy to reactivate the card as a backup to our Barclaycard. The indian call centre said they'd send a new pin for the Mastercard. This morning, the day before we're due to fly out, the letter arrived. They've sent us confirmation of our existing Barclaycard pin, which of course we already know. So now, not only do we have no pin for our Mastercard, but there's a possibility they may cancel the pin for our Barclaycard. This would mean going to America with no credit card at all. As you probably know Credit cards are essential for hotels, car hire etc in the States. We can't get any sense out of the Indian call centre... please, please can anyone give me a UK help number before I have a stroke!! :-)

You're right, there's nothing we can do about getting the Mastercard pin number now, but I'm afraid we'll get to America and find they've cancelled the pin on our Barclaycard. We've had awful probs with Barclaycard stopping the card due to 'unusual activity'. The last time they stopped it, they queried our council tax payment. A payment which, incidentally, we'd been paying for the same amount at the same time for the previous ten months. They seem to do these things on a whim. But the thought of being in America with no Credit card is alarming.

As suggested above, I would call Bcard and make sure they note your file that you are going to the states so transactions there are to be expected.
They are odd though - they have started emailing me with routine account notifications that nobody with any awareness of online fraud would open in a million years!
