Sentinel Card Services

...sooner said than done! Sentinel Card Protection Service is something I’ve been using for years now. The Halifax introduced me to the service, when it was still a building society. I had just taken out a Visa card with them, and they suggested that for extra protection, I should consider Credit Card Sentinel. At that time, it cost £6 per annum, charged, then, to the Visa card. Nowadays, it costs £12 per annum and I charge it to a different card, ...
...found the missing cards again. Sentinel still remind you to get a loss report from the police to make sure your indemnity insurance remains intact. If they did this for you, Portsmouth’s* Police station would need a separate duty sergeant to handle Sentinel work alone. *Yes, that’s where they are, not that it matters when you’re up to your arse in alligators in the Everglades. I’ve not tried it, but I assume that if you inform them that your card ...

Review of Sentinel Card Services

Sentinel Card Protection does exactly what is says on the tin. It protects your cards. It also protects your wallet, passport, driving licence and more. Just one phone call is all it takes for peace of mind once your cards have been lost/stolen. I took this out before we went to Cyprus as the thought of being abroad and losing our cards and passports etc, was not worth thinking about. Sentinel provide sheets of paper, which you record all card ...
...card Passport Driving Licence Sentinel then send you back a printed sheet for you to check that the details are correct. They also send you a metal tag to use on your keyring. This means that if you drop your keys and somebody finds them, they can be put in a postbox to Sentinel, who will then return them to you. Sentinel also provide you with 2 leather luggage straps, with their information on, in order to reunite you with your luggage if it ...

Review of Sentinel Card Services

Sentinal Card Services is something I would not consider being without. It wasn't until I subscribed to the service that I realised how much it offered. Basically, its a card protection package. You provide them with the numbers of all your credit / debit / store cards and if they are ever lost or stolen, you just make one phone call to Sentinal and they contact all your card holders on your behalf. Lets face it, if your cards were lost would you ...
.../ remember to ring them all?? They even ensure you against fraudulant use in the meantime. On top of that, if you ever move house, they will let all your card issuers know on your behalf. That alone saved me hours of phone calls and letter writing when I moved house recently. They will also keep a note of the serial numbers of other important documents for you if you like, such as passport, driving licence etc. And there's more. I have a security ...

Review of Sentinel Card Services

I have used Sentinel to provide cover for many years confident that if I should lose my cards in any way then Sentinel would remove some of the hassle. The reality was that when I lost my wallet sk-ing in Canada I was unable to get past the Sentinel answerphone! I then made contact with my bank who were also unable to obtain an answer from Sentinel (It was the early hours in UK) although they did at least cancel my bank card. On my return Sentinel ...
...with Sentinel. When you combine this with their policy of making it difficult to cancel ( I held for 50 mins before speaking to some-one who advised that the cancellation department was shut!) I would recommend that everyone avoid Sentinel or they might well be disapointed if they need assistance. ...

Review of Sentinel Card Services

...I have been with Sentinel for years and when I decided I no longer wanted their services I wrote a letter to cancel them and they claim not to have received it. I have also contacted them by phone. But they do not offer Reference numbers for the phone calls so you have no way of proving you have called them to cancel the services. Terrible. it´s a catch 22 situation. They have just told me that because I have been charged again 2 weeks ago, I am ...
...states that you have 90 days to cancel your cover. It is a nightmare I am going through an ordeal and the co-op who recommended their services (and advertises them in their website! ) refuses to help- I have asked them not to not accept their charges and they said they can not do this. Terrible. If anyone could advise of any action I could take next to cancel this service I would be grateful if they would let me know. Awful experience when you try ...

Now £30 a year, not £10!! Used to be a good value service. I was one of their first customers. At this price it's no longer worth it. ...

Review of Sentinel Card Services

...the most awful experience with sentinel card protection. I am their customer for about 3 years and never contacted them for a claim. The customer service is very rude and not helpful at all. I asked my service to be upgraded to Gold they refused and offered to cancel my existing and sign for gold but I would not get refund. I did not know that the Gold survice exist at all. They never offered me Gold protection. They said I can not use online service ...
