Credit Limits & Payment Time
Ridiculously low credit limit. Just a third of limit with original John Lewis card. Time between monthly statement and payment date is just too short ie 2 weeks. Old card was more like 4 - 5 weeks.

Easy to follow directions & very “Senior Friendly”
Just tried to buy a new laptop from JLP but transaction kept being denied. Possibly because it later turned out that my credit limit was £150 less than the proposed purchase but it never said that on the messages and I have wasted quite a lot of time and irritation. Limit now increased.
Ever since I was issued with my new John Lewis card and NewDay took over, I have had endless problems. Over the last few months I have found that payments have not gone through when I have paid online as I have done for years, the card has not been recognised by my bank, the Statement from John Lewis nowhere mentions New Day as the organisation you are meant to pay, charged a non payment fee when it appeared my payment had been made, endless long phone calls to John Lewis and New Day, home deliveries almost cancelled because card suddenly not recognised online although it seemed to have gone through as it has for years, etc. etc. I could go on…. It’s almost persuaded me to stop shopping at Waitrose and John Lewis!
Logs you out when the app updates. Doesn't remember your username. Amateurish.
6 months interest free credit not accurate
This app doesn’t now update. I have had to uninstall and then go through all rigmarole of reinstalling instead of being able to just update. Described the problem to new day help desk but they were unable to pass this message onto the app support team. The two members on the helpdesk seemed uninterested. Please when the next update is rolled out can it be properly tested so this problem doesn’t occur again. Thanks
Some online payments don’t go through and it is not possible to find out why or rectify the problem - I had to switch to PayPal to make these payments (PayPal worked fine). These difficulties did not occur with the previous John Lewis card. There are teething problems which require work by NewDay. It would be helpful (and open & honest) if NewDay were upfront about these problems and explained what is going on.
The app keeps logging me out for no reason so I need to get my credit card details to log in each time, which is frustrating when I just want to quickly check my balance. The old app and provider were much better.
App stops working each time there’s an update. No grace period, you need to update NOW. When that’s done, you can no longer log in using Touch ID because the app has totally wiped its memory of your existence. An absolute pain as it’s updated very frequently. I wish I could login via desktop and avoid this app (which actually works ok but only for ten days at a time between updates).
