Slow processing and hidden catches.
The Skye card was useful overseas but paying them is a headache. The app is slow to update its data and they take an eternity to process payments. They are however quick to charge for overdue payments (which can be held up in their slow processing when they apply the charge). It is a no-win. If you use direct payment from your bank they are slow to process it, if you use BPay they charge you. In future, I will make use of some of the (better) alternatives.

Don't ever use them
Worst company ever. They say 90 days interest free which attracts a lot of people but straight after that you get charged 30-40% interest which is a lot. I got a loan for 7k from flight centre and they advised me to use skye. It's not worth it and the experience is so bad. If you get your account password wrong once, it locks you out, if you don't pay back at least $150 a month they charge you a $45 late or no payment fee. Their site is also crap as and barely works. I tried calling them at one point so I could update my payment method as I cha...Read more
nged cards and they couldn't even assist me like WTH. Their customer service is so poor and their company is just crap and all they want is to scam you. If you want to get a loan go to a bank. After I found out they charge 30-40% interest I went to ANZ bank and they gave me a credit card with 1yr interest free then after that 12% interest. I said to skye can I leave skye mastrcard now, I am going to pay off this loan with ANZ as you are a big scam. They just said no sorry once you sign up no backing out. Get fkd.1 comment

100% useless
As i get paid monthly, I always paid more than the monthly minimum by a significant amount, yet each month they would tell I need to pay $20 and if I didn't i would be charged late fee even though I had paid more than required. The people I spoke to were mostly useless and I ended up just paying off way before the end of the interest free period to close the account. Then I ring up to close the account which seemed easy enough..... wrong... I now owe another $99 for the annual fee, which by the way will refuse to pay. Absolute scammers, avoid at all costs (even for that laptop you want)

I am a very very very unhappy customer I have been calling and emailing for a month now and no response. I have sent 3rd party authority form 2 times and you now have put my card on stop and I can't use the funds to book a flight for my in-law funeral on Friday. Your customer service team are so unprofessional and incompetent and keep asking for me to send you a certified copy of my licence. I have 15K credit on the account you approved me over a year ago for a fully ducted Aircon installation that was done last October 2018. All because m...Read more
y wife rang advising you that you have over charged us on the interest on this account and now the a account is on hold and can't be used. This is an absolute joke and I expect a response as to why emails are not read and you don't action things. No good telling your non speaking customer service team sorry you have to send your licence to us to the [email protected] email and you will get this matter resolved in 24-48 hours. Its been a month not sure what more can be done I guess social media and 2GB may be able to assist me in getting my account taken of hold as you think I may be a transgender imposter pretending to have an account and stole my own card. Lets see if I can get a response now from anyone in this company that has some common sense and intelligence.1 comment

SkyePlans are nothing but a trap and a scam. DO NOT USE!
Despite several hours (no exaggeration my last chat session was 50minutes alone) on live chat support my efforts to purchase a holiday using my Skye Mastercard and convert it to a SkyePlan is a failure. All I am left with is a large purchase with high interest.
I had 3-4 chat sessions before the purchase and now this session afterwards. At every point information was withheld. The full picture was never disclosed, and what is described as a simple process on their website is nothing but a web designed to trap customers.
I can't believe a repeat customer would be treated as badly as this. Horrible service and worse product.

The most unprofessional organization
I applied for interest free with Skye last week only to spend most of the afternoon filling in an application form online that had no real professional structure.
Completed form only for them to try calling me at least 5 or 6 times at about 7pm while I was out to dinner on a Friday night, and text me to contact them the same amount of times. After I finally gave up on eating I answered only to be told they did not get to read my account information in time and I needed to resend.
Lucky for me I was so annoyed they called me at that hour, I told them to cancel my application and forget my number. Lucky Me especially after reading these reviews.

The worst
Have been chasing a simple account closure statement including the last payment made stating the amount paid and showing zero balance, instead have received about 20 copies of the same template slapped onto a letter head just stating account closure in words. They have also taken it upon themselves to block my account just before the monthly generated statement would be available for me to download myself. A bunch of frauds running a so called company, do not associate with them no matter how desperate

Terrible customer service and payment system
I have had this card for just over a year and I will be cancelling it as soon as it's paid. I only applied because of the flight centre interest free holidays deal, this company is absolutely terrible, I have been charged payment dishonour fees a week later, even when I've had the money in my account - I've called them up and sent screenshot proof that they didn't even try to take the money out of my account, they said this would be refunded, which it never was.
The payment system is equally as bad, I make a usual fortnightly direct debit on ...Read more
a Thursday afternoon which isn't even in the Skye account until at least the Tuesday after, sometimes even Wednesday - all while during this waiting period your interest is accruing daily. When you make a once-off payment as well it will take them a minimum of 3 business days to even take the money from your bank account, this only seems to be getting worse as I made a once-off payment on the 7/11 and it was not even taken out of my bank on the 13/11. In the app your balance will change for no reason, saying you have paid when you log in, then check the next day and the payment is missing, then check again and it's back. This faulty app makes it hard to keep track of what you have/haven't paid. Their online chat system never works either. I'd think twice before taking out a credit card with this company.1 comment

Be Careful
Be very careful with this company, when you try to close the account they try and talk you in to staying. Once you insist they then put you on hold for ages then come back with a lame excuse saying they cant process the payment as they are having computer troubles. This is in the hope that if you give up and call again the next day they will have received increased interest.
Dodgy, beware !!!!!

Once I refused to let the consultant suggest he call me back and became very firm he finally put me on to another person who processed my payment.
Be firm if you are trying to close an account as they make it difficult for you to do so

Absolutely terrible!
We got a deal with 5 years interest free air con installation last summer & had to sign up to make the repayments with SkyeCard.
This company has to be one of the worst that I have dealt with, they are constantly placing late payment fees on our account, even when it clearly shows in the dashboard that we made payments on time. Random 'one off' fees that you are forced to pay without knowing what they are, otherwise you will get a default fee, no response from customer service when trying to find out what the random fees are for. I organised ...Read more
for direct debit so the payments come out automatically, they confirmed it had gone through, however nothing was taken from our account on the payment date (or in the 3 days after), customer service don't respond to emails & phonecalls leave you on hold for ages with no real response. It took 3-4 weeks for paperwork to go through to add a third party to the account so myself & my husband can both contact them. Looking forward to paying off this debt, as this company truly sucks butt. Wish I could give them 0 stars & will be cancelling the card as soon as I can.1 comment

Dodgy system
I applied the card got approval a few minutes after, the delivery guy brought our table bought from NickScali on a Friday (my partner had a leave day for this freaking delivery) and asked for full payment while we financed it through Skype. We had received the credit card and activated it but the store (in Preston Victoria) did not allow the delivery guy to leave our table at our place. I sent him the screenshot of my account with the credit balance approved. He called Skype and they claimed that yes we were approved but we withdrew later :))))...Read more
)))). They advise the store to let us know that we have to re-apply, by the time the delivery guy had left our place I called them to find out what the problem lied. the guy over the phone checked every detail pretty much anything about me for more than 6 mins, and then keep saying that there is no problem with my account, and the information provided to the store was wrong while it was from the same company... how ridiculous is that... I asked him to direct my call to his manager he did not and repeated same thing 5 times... I asked him to send an email to me and confirm everything he denied, told him what is your name so that I can mention it in my correspondence he denied, staff id denied...... So it sounded that I have to go by his word without having evidence which is acceptable to the store............. The worth credit services ; I have experience with gomastercard, zip pay and afterpay and this is one of its kind.1 comment

Be aware - you cannot transfer the balance to another card!!!
Basically the fact is - you cannot transfer the balance to another card! So if you intend buying something over a period of time using a couple of credit cards with 0% balance transfers, be aware that Skye Card to not allow balance transfers.

My husband has randomly received a credit card in the mail today, literally without having ever applied for one. He called the call centre and was given no help what so ever. He was told that the application was made at a Michael Hill jewellery store, but once hubby started to question things and refused to give further personal information, the call centre employee suddenly decided he couldn’t give us any further information. Has anyone else experienced this?
