Access Card Omdömen 

I regret not reading the reviews before applying. Nimbus Disability (also known as the Access Card at accesscard.online) operates on rigid, automated rejection formulas that ignore genuine government-issued evidence. Their assessment criteria are completely unfair and unhelpful for families with complex logistics. I have withdrawn my application and demanded a refund. Avoid this company.

The service provided by Access Card was very informative and helpful to my needs. The questions were sometimes a little too much open to interpretation and not specific enough.
The feedback in order to collate and complete the questions and complete the areas needed on the form were easy to rectify so was no problem at all. Thankyou for your time and patience Michelle Reeve

DISCRIMINATION!!!!!!!! My daughter has evidence of several diagnoses including bipolar 2 and Autism. Can she go out on her own - NO! She had started to manage to attend small theatre events with a trusted friend, this made enormous difference to her. Despite providing the same evidence as she did before plus additional recent evidence from a psyhciatrist it was turned down a few months ago. We noticed a decline in her mental health and yes you have guessed it - it was because she didn't get her access card renewal! This is an unregulated service and an utter disgrace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve used my card a few times, and when I forgot to upload an item to renew this time. access Card team contacted me immediately.
I sent in the document they needed and literally within a couple of days, I get an email (which is written in a kind caring yet professional manner) to confirm my card is processed and will be here soon! Any contact I’ve had with the team as well - they’re lovely and so helpful! What a tremendous service.
Thanks guys at access card

I am extremely disappointed with Nimbus Card, an organisation that claims to support disabled people, yet my experience has been the opposite.
Despite having had a companion approved for many years by Nimbus themselves and being registered with almost 50 theatres where I have booked tickets with a companion, Nimbus decided not to award the companion symbol on this occasion. They stated that, according to them, it is not something I am allowed to be awarded, despite the extensive evidence I provided showing my long-standing need for a companion when attending venues.
I have multiple long-term disabilities and conditions that require the essential support of a companion when attending venues and events, including spinal osteoarthritis, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, plantar fasciitis, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis in my hands and wrists, hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), and PTSD. Without a companion. it is not safe.
They also continued asking for more and more evidence even though I had already submitted substantial documentation. Their process created unnecessary barriers, imposed additional administrative burdens, and resulted in disabled access needs being subjected to excessive scrutiny. Their process is dismissive, exhausting, and unnecessarily obstructive.
I have sent Nimbus Card many emails to complain about the way my cases have been handled, but they have not offered any solution complying with the Equality Act 2010. On one occasion, they stated that they were going to send me the card, but the card never arrived. I complained about this as well, yet again received no response. The lack of any effective complaint system or accountability process is extremely concerning for an organisation that claims to support disabled people.
What makes this particularly concerning is that the Equality Act 2010 places a duty on service providers to avoid discrimination against disabled people and to make reasonable adjustments to ensure disabled people are not placed at a substantial disadvantage compared to non-disabled people. A companion or essential companion arrangement is a reasonable adjustment that enables disabled people to access theatres and events safely and equally.
Theatres and venues that rely solely on Nimbus Card assessments while disregarding substantial existing evidence of disability-related access needs also act contrary to the principles and duties set out in the Equality Act 2010. Service providers have their own independent legal responsibility to consider reasonable adjustments and accessibility needs fairly and individually. Delegating decisions entirely to a third-party scheme without properly considering existing evidence or long-established companion arrangements risks creating barriers for disabled people rather than removing them.
Ignoring extensive evidence of an established need for a companion, while creating additional barriers and repeatedly demanding further proof, can amount to discriminatory treatment. It places disabled people through unnecessary stress, scrutiny, and obstacles when trying to access services that should already be accessible.
This experience demonstrates a failure to recognise and appropriately accommodate well-established access requirements, despite extensive supporting evidence and a long history of companion approval across numerous theatres and venues.
Experiences such as this result in disabled people being unsupported and invalidated by an organisation that is supposed to advocate for accessibility and inclusion.

Fantastic service and quick too. Very helpful. Thank you

I realised that my Access card had expired as I was booking my annual seats in Liverpool M&S Arena. I quickly went online & started the ‘Renewal’ application (as my needs hadn't changed, it took 10 mins tops!)& within the hour I received a confirmation email & ID number. EXCELLENT SERVICE & SUPER FAST RESULT! Thank you so much.

So grateful for the access card as my daughter struggles in crowds and there are so many venues that provide support and acknowledge not all disabilities are immediately visible.

Also the application process was very easy and allowed you to upgrade delivery to next day if you wanted the card urgently.

Thank you very much Access Card Team.

Very easy process to complete Access Card they described what was required and I received my card within days. I am so happy with the service.

Fast efficient service. Great help from the Chequers Mead Box Office staff.
Thankyou

Very helpful, dealt with my issue promptly. Thanks to them my daughter can attend her first ever event. Thanks a lot!

Servizio eccellente. Gentilezza e velocità di risposta. Consiglio!

Great experience from start to finish great communication

I submitted my application for an Access Pass on a Saturday afternoon, and by 10:30am on the Monday I had already received my Digital Access Pass details. I’m extremely impressed by how quick and straightforward the process was, as well as the thoughtful and personalised understanding of our circumstances. Thank you very much.

Such lovely people at the customer services. I’ve communicated by email and the response has been really fast, detailed and super helpful. My renewal application has been really easy with their help. Thank you

The team were great to assist and so prompt with replies.

Unable to complete application despite having an official diagnosis that has been accepted by multiple other services.
Asking someone who is physically unable to fulfil your demands is very unethical and has resulted in my access becoming more limited rather than opened.
The responses I received by email was very unhelpful and my application was never followed through by the same person. It was extremely stressful and having someone doubt my disability makes me feel even more worthless than usual.

The team were really good in helping guide me towards what documentation I was required to provide.
The responses were prompt and clear and eventually they were able to process my application.
Great service and really glad it is in place as it helps so much for my daughter to attend when she is able.

Have had a really positive experience with the online staff helping me and replying to my queries when filling out my application form. They are friendly, informative and reply quickly. You can’t really ask for anymore

The communication and ease of application is really good. They are so helpful and keep you updated on the process and progress. Couldn’t ask for more. A really great fair system to help people who have additional needs.
