Klarna | Pay your way

I used to love this app. Told all my friends about it. Made my payments on-time, if not paid off early. Had one issue one time and you are pretty much labeled as no longer worthy (and trust me they always got their money-that wasnt the issue). Started having issue after issue after that. Paid off what I owed and finally gave up using it. Just got a notice (10/15) of some bs reason I was denied something back in JULY. And customer service is zero help. Now they run credit. uninstalling.

Don't Order From Amazon With Their Card they declined the rest of an order like the amount didn't exactly match the remainder of the payment plan and Amazon pulled 90 from my bank account. Customer service is some kind of no help AI that told me I should make sure I have enough money in my accounts. Ridiculous. First and last time that I will use for Amazon payments. My day/week was already bad and Klarna just piled on top when it was used to give me a break.

The first time I used Klarna I was a bit hesitant because I was unsure how legit the company was, but after some research, I started with a small purchase amount and it was very simple process to do for checking out,and as you continue making automatic payments on time your purchase lending amount goes up, needless to say, after 1 year of using this site my credit score has gone up quite a bit, and so has my purchasing power, not to mention that by making my payments on time and you also have the option to pay off your total early, but you don’t have too, I have been able to get purchasing credit thru similar sites such as Affirm and Autopay, I even was able to get a rebuilding credit card, due to my zillion dollar debt in medical bills I’ve struggled with my credit, but this site has helped SO MUCH with letting me rebuild my credit score and have an option to make larger purchases and pay them off a little at a time, they also have the option upon maintaining good payments to postpone one payment, you can not use this option all the time, but it’s useful if you need it :) So I highly recommend giving them a try, start with a small purchase to see if it works for your budget :) happy shopping :)

WARNING klarna will randomly do duplicate payments already made out again, 6 days later as a "billing error" contacting them will do no good it's a "pre authorization" when it's unexpected and 2 weeks before Christmas this is a massive issue. They've been holding it for a week. They also largely go off your credit score, despite what they say it says "you are denied due to your credit score" for a 500 dollar fridge for example when my spending limit is 1k. On time payments don't benefit you.

I just received an email telling me my spending power has been reduced due to the lack of activity in the last 12 months. I find this interesting, as, instead of sending out a survey to understand why, or just read the commonality amongst the people in the reviews here, this is how Klarna chooses to go about it. Yet, like so many others have stated, having to “gamble” on if the purchase is going to go through or not is too much of a headache. And now, when my purchases are declined, I don’t even bother trying to reduce my cart, I just move to another service. A service in which I got long after Klarna, and have used far less, yet however has increased to 3x the amount of spending power I have now with Klarna. And honestly, if that service allowed purchases to be made anywhere, I would’ve been closed my Klarna account. And yes, I have read the Dev responses in here stating having to decide/limit the lending that can be offered. I find this as a poor response as I am sure that at the major growth of the company, there were so many of us spending, which of course resulted in the increased spending power we all have…. Or had. I think since the release of the Klarna card, which I do also have, there’s been too many (wrong) things put in place, or too many things that made Klarna awesome, taken away. If my assumption is correct, maybe rethink the card, Klarna. The service boomed before it. The people may be happier without it.

I’ve been using Klarna for years and only god knows how many times I done used Klarna for past purchases! Used it countless things & countless times. Bills, clothes, grocery shopping, plane tickets, shoes, anything you can probably think of I did it! Klarna was in my Top 5 most used apps! However, recently things changed. I had rewards lined up and finally chose one that was expiring. I chose the reward to be a $5 Nike reward. Coming to find out, the reward isn’t a gift card anymore & I have to spend at least $20 for my order to use my reward. In the past, I could just my $5 reward anytime without extra stipulation. The minimum purchases I noticed changed too lately. It was previously at least $10 but now it’s $35+. I recently found out by wanting to get some slip resistant shoes from Walmart. I was completing the transaction creating my One Time card and then I seen the $35+ minimum purchase warning. I was shockingly disappointed/upset. I can’t even tell you how many transactions I overall had that was overall below $35. To be honest, I sometimes I would have the money for the full total but I would choose to use Klarna just because. I often just use Klarna and use the remaining money elsewhere if all that make sense
