Management atrocious. General staff, fine. Main issue (13-years) problem making Card payments by phone. Ex. Security question “What date did you open your account?” Whaa!!? All I want is to pay my Statement balance!! The former Mgr (Mr McGrail) & Board Chair were outstanding, understanding; attempted to help, and encouraged me to phone Branch rather than Card servicer. Worked for awhile. Currently, impossible to reach Board; stiffed by the HSq Branch. I was reluctant to post, as a portion goes to scholarship funds. Oddly, the “culprit” is the Card servicer, but the mgmts attitude, arrogance and inability to recognize the stress placed on customer & staff, over a problem other Cards handle in 5-minutes, make the HUECU a prime example of a corporate mantra - “We don’t care. We don’t have to.”

The HUECU Platinum Mastercard is a great credit card, high limit, no interest for the first 12 months, low interest after that, no APR. Easy online access to e-Statements, my FICO score, credit card rewards, and customer service. Very good credit union too.

We're long-standing members of HUECU. We'd never had a problem with them until we traveled outside the US after first alerting them that we'd be traveling. Sure enough, the first time we tried to use our credit card overseas (airport), it was blocked. We never could get the situation fixed while overseas and were stranded because of it. We had to wait 'til we got back to the US to get a new card. Since then, our card keeps getting flagged for fraud and blocked. This has happened so many times now that we carry an extra credit card just in case...
Condescending, unreliable, dismissive, and unprofessional, HUECU has been so uniformly negative for us, from the start to now, that we're very seriously considering severing all our ties with HUECU.

Harvard University Employees Credit Union Credit Card Q&A
Get answers to your questions about Harvard University Employees Credit Union Credit Cards below. Editorial and user-generated content is not provided, reviewed or endorsed by this issuer. Please keep in mind that it is not a financial institution’s responsibility to ensure all posts and questions are answered. In addition, WalletHub independently collected information for some of the cards on this page.
The Harvard Credit Card's starting credit limit is $500. But it can be more if your credit score and income are high enough. Your debt obligations will also be taken into account when the issuer decides about your credit limit.
Your Harvard credit card balance transfer limit is as much as your overall credit limit is. Since they also have no bnalance transfer fee, it's not the worst option out there.
The Harvard Credit Card approval requirements include having at least good credit and being either a Harvard University alumni or an employee.
You are also required to provide certain information on the Harvard Credit Card application, like your name, address and birthdate, for starters. The address must be a physical U.S. location and not a P.O. Box. You also need a Social Security Number (SSN) and to be at least 18 years old.
The Harvard University Employees Credit Union cash advance limit is equal to a portion of your overall credit limit, and you can find more details on your monthly statement or by calling Harvard University Employees Credit Union customer service. You'll also need to contact customer service to get a PIN if you're getting a cash advance at an ATM.
