Old Navy Credit Card Reviews

I make my payment on time have great rewards

Customer service is a pain to contact. You're only option is to call and listen to the recording repeat itself over and over. When you finally do get through, it's never an American, so it's hard to understand anything said. You ask for a supervisor, and you're literally in the line for OVER 20 minutes. Called once to change address, new card was still sent to wrong address. Called second time when I no longer had account access. They sent new card, but I was still locked out of anything online. I could not use my rewards money or take advantage of any discounts/sales. After another thirty minute conversation, they told me I needed to download a new browser. Even though the browser I was using always worked otherwise. They told me to re-register, but like I told them before, It would not allow me to online or on the app. I called again. Let's just say I will no longer be shopping or using an Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, or Athletica card again. It is a complete headache and waste of time, money, and energy. Save yourself and don't open a card with them. 

Interest rates jump up whenever they feel like doing so, as well, so that's always a nice surprise. STAY AWAY!

So the rewards you get for shopping at Old Navy using the card are good. I would never use this card for any other reason because the rate is high. I purely use it to get rewards. I use it to pay then pay the amount off immediately. Unfortunately I made a $28 purchase online and forgot about it. So I had a $28 balance. I didn't pay the balance on time ONCE, I never keep it running balance on his card that is owed and it was ONLY $28!!! Synchrony Bank reported me delinquent by $30 days for $28 and being late on a payment once. For a $28. A lance on my over inflated $2500 limit. That report dropped my credit score 30 points. Horrible. I will never open another card being run by this bank ever again. 

This credit card is awful. They are constantly changing the allowed limit - from $300, to $500, to $220 etc. without any warning. It must be changing every other month, it's ridiculous! I don't even max it out or pay late, so I'm not sure what the deal is. When my home purchase closes this week, I plan on getting rid of this card. I've never had an issue like this with any other credit card - my credit score is good, so why constantly change the card limit with no warning? Doesn't make any sense...

I've had my card for a few years now. I love Old Navy, but I noticed that the designs aren't to my liking much anymore. I started off with a 200 CL, was increased a few years later to 900 after I asked for a CLI. My plan is to charge it and pay it. 

I shop at Old Navy, Gap, and Banana Republic frequently, so it made sense to get their card. Well, at least it made sense before I figured out who the issuing bank is. Synchrony Bank treated me horribly with my TJ Maxx card (separate and honest review also on CreditKarma), so I'm afraid they might do the same with this one. Thankfully, no horror stories, and customer service has been great. Account set-up online was easy and secure. No issues with payment, as I always pay a week or two ahead of time (so if any problems arise, I can catch it).

Anyways, I digress. The rewards are great, and being able to use this card at Gap's affilates is awesome! I don't mind the APR (23% I believe), because it's a store card, and I know to keep my balance low or just use cash (LOL). I have a low CL, too, but expected that. However, I was told my account would be favorably reviewed within the next month or so; I'm an on-time, PIF, low util. user, but remember this is Synchrony Bank...  

Will keep y'all posted if I get a CLI or CLD...

But I'm saying now, if it's a CLD, I'm cancelling all of my Synchrony Bank accounts. This would be the second time, and enough is enough. Either you appreciate/want me as a cardholder or you don't.   

I had a $300 balance. Paid my card on time each month and never once maxed it out. They decided to LOWER my credit limit without notice meaning it dropped my credit score. No reason when you're paying your card and being responsible with it!!!

I don't like the fact that they don't take in store payments & it appears they will not be making any changes to make this an option for the client. The more options the consumer has to make payments the less likely they will be late on payment & less late fees.

I had this card for a few months and did not use it very much, but ALWAYS paid it off on time. After not using for a few months I had updated my bank information and must have mistyped it (this was my fault). Old Navy did not send me an email as they usually did to remind me that my payment was due. They charged me a late fee, which I proceeded to pay off. I also fixed my bank informaiton and paid my bill (keep in mind the entire bill was obly about $80, nothing too drastic). The next month I got a letter to my house saying they shut down my account due to "untrustworthy payments"???? I will never shop at old navy or use their credit cards again. By far the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

I don't even know if I want this card anymore. I hate the fact that my mom made me get this because she thinks it would help me build good credit. Now I feel that we only shop there more because she knows we have the card, but making payments is such a struggle, not to mention I had to call CS because they charged me a late fee when I had paid on time. If I had seen these reviews before, I would have shown them to her. Once I pay it off, I will show her these other reviews and close my account.
