What are the hours and when should I call?
Care Credit operates the call center for this 866-893-7864 phone number Mon-Sun 8am-12am ET.The short answer is that you should call on a Tuesday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 493 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Care Credit call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Care Credit phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Care Credit staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Care Credit is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Friday, which averages 285% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 493 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

When you call Care Credit's customer service phone number, you're first greeted by an automated messaging system. It thanks you for calling and immediately offers a Spanish language option (press 4). This is great, as it increases caller accessibility! The system pauses, giving customers a chance to select the alternate language option if they choose, and then presents the following phone menu:
Press 1 if you're a Care Credit account holder
Press 2 if you're a Care Credit account provider
Press 3 to apply for a Care Credit account
Interestingly, the options don’t automatically repeat, and there isn’t a way to request them to be repeated. Instead, after one recitation, it switches to a different phone menu. It asks you to say or enter your account number, then seems to glitch, saying "Let's try that one more time" a couple of times in a row. It then asks the same question in a different way, gives minimal pause time, and asks for your social security number twice. I hung up to get back to the original phone menu because whatever the system devolves into if you don’t make a 1-3 selection is a little off-putting.
I was calling with questions about Care Credit, not necessarily to immediately apply, so none of the initial options were applicable. Nonetheless, I pressed option 3, hoping to reach a human being. After pressing 3, the automated system says it will transfer me to an agent, then states the entire call will be recorded. Something about the specific language used on this customer service line is off-putting as a potential customer—it almost sounds like a threat. Because of this, I chose not to speak to an agent, despite the effort I put into navigating to one. I would rather look for information online and speak to current and former account holders for their thoughts.

Use this link to connect with customer service through Facebook
Some customer service teams, like that of Care Credit, accept inquiries through Facebook Messenger. This is a good option if you have a Facebook account, and you may even be able to converse live with an agent this way.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Care Credit customer service can be accessed through their website.
