I had to make a record 15 phone calls to get my order to go through!! They deactivated my gift card so I had to call to get the gift cards reactivated. When I called to make the payments with the card, it still didn't go through. I had a promo code that was going to expire so they said to call back the next day and they would HONOR the the price since I had the bag number and record of trying to pay.
I called several other times, they hung up twice, once an operator wasn't proficient in English, another one transferred me without my approval to the credit card department. I called so many times and gave my gift card so many times that they deactivated my gift cards AGAIN!! After many calls to get the card activated, at the final call, the manager WOULDN'T honor the price that every single other rep was able to find and honor (after 10 minutes of explanation and on hold). I purchased anyway because I wanted to use these cards and move on so never have to shop at Macy's again! This was BY FAR the worst customer service experience in my life.

I have been a long time, loyal customer of Macy's until the last few weeks. It's impossible to access item information let alone try to buy anything online from Macy's lately. And when you do they won't even honor the very discount codes they advertise. Then when I decided to speak to an actual person the ENTIRE order was wrong. But I didn't know it until the email confirmation charging my account! The person quoted me a charge for my items AFTER the discount but I never received it on either order and the size was wrong on the other.
When I called customer service that night to fix this I wasted over an hour getting hung up on or put on hold indefinitely. I emailed repeated complaints to just be sent an email saying my orders are on the way! That's all they cared about. It was a disaster and nobody at the store cared. Buy at your own risk since I was told my only option was to return it and "hope my card payment wasn't due before I received the purchase." Is this what they do now, bait and switch???

I bought a rug from Macy's September 10th, order number **. It was the wrong rug. We sent it back to them in exchange for the correct rug. After a week of waiting and following up customer service they tell us the rug we want is not available actually, so they credit us back a PARTIAL refund. From the last call I made to them two weeks ago they had informed me the remainder would be sent in 10 days alongside an email confirmation which I never received.
It's past 10 days so I call and apparently they have now wiped my account and purchase history so there's no record of that transaction in effect straight out robbing me of money they still owed on the refund for a rug they never had or sent. I spoke to their customer service and they say there's nothing they can do. Amazing. I don't expect a response or my money back at this point as it's become clear that they have almost gone out of their way to make it as difficult and now seemingly impossible to get that refund credited in full. Horrible business. Never again.

Macy's will make sure that they screw you over in every way possible. When you get a credit card with them and make a purchase on Black Friday and your stuff gets stolen they will make sure they don't lose money. So... made a purchase on Black Friday. There was fraudulent activity on the same day (obviously not me) so reported it. Then they say they're sending me new card... NEVER GET NEW CARD. Then call them to find out status of card I never got. They then let you know there are charges and you owe them over $200.00. Then when you let them know you haven't had a card and that your wallet was stolen (ID's credit/debit cards and all) they will then keep on and let you know there's nothing they're gonna do to help you. So, when you finally get to someone who will help you they finally file the fraud claim.
When representative answers you ask them "so what do I do about the amount that's showing due and the payment that is due?" And the rep answers "not to worry ma'am. Do not make a payment as it is fraudulent activity and if you make a payment you are saying the charges are yours." Then well over a month later (when YOUR credit is going negative because of direction from their reps) they let you know "it's deemed not fraudulent". Then you will be contacted by executive people and they will say they are 'going to help you and get this resolved' only to be contacted back a little over a week later and be told again "oh there's nothing we're gonna do it was deemed not fraudulent. You're responsible." Then when you bring up what THEIR REPS said executive person will tell you "sorry there's just nothing we can do to repair it since it was not fraudulent."
When I respond with "so I was informed to NOT pay because then I am saying the charges are mine but now you are telling me that they're mine." His response "yes ma'am that is correct. You would have assumed responsibility for the charges so you shouldn't have made a payment." Again they WILL NOT help you. They will say they are then just leave you hanging out to dry. Worst company ever. All I wanted was the help I deserved from a supposed good company. Never make that mistake again.

I am a passionate and assiduous customer at Macy's, whether online or in-store. The experience I had today, Oct 24, 2016, around 1:15 pm CST was extremely unpleasant and I am writing to share it with you, hoping that people like "Reggie (or Reggie's)" can be banned, extinguished and/or sent to customer service training ASAP.
This customer service rep works at the woman's clothing department, 2nd floor. She treated me like I was committing a crime by returning 2 items without receipt. She started reading the rules and conditions out loud so everyone around could participate during the return, and it was very embarrassing. I told her that I was a habitual customer and I understand the store's policies. The unused items were purchased online less than a month ago with my Macy's card, and had the original tags on. She told me that the amount could not be credited back to my Macy's card; instead, a gift card was going to be issued and mailed to my home address (what??).
She then took my driver license and started tying the info by using a magnifier (she had hard time reading the screen and the tags). I told her that it was insane but she insisted that, "those are the rules" and need to be followed. Lastly, after more than 20 minutes I gave up and canceled the entire thing. I went to another cashier nearby Vince Camuto clothing area, who end up returning the amount back to the original payment method, which was my Macy's card.

Ever since Macy's switched to the Citigroup payment portal service is horrible. It's almost impossible to log in and customer support is non-existent. On the rare day the system does works, it's only on Internet Explorer. Whoever is running this program should be fired and never be allowed to program another computer. I'm starting to wonder if it isn't a scam to force customers to pay late fees.

Macy's Credit and Customer Service is the worst. You call them and you can expect to be on hold for hours and hours and they will tell you that they cannot transfer your call to a specific department because it is closed. (YES OF COURSE IT WILL BE CLOSED AFTER WAITING ON HOLD FOR AN HOUR). Most of the time the employees are from overseas who have no idea what they are doing, whatever you ask for they don't know the answer and they will tell you to call back. I just don't understand if they are not going to be able to help a customer then why are they there? I am really unsatisfied with a Macy's Credit Customer Service and I wish they can take an action and fix it, because this is the 3rd time that I am getting this kind of customer service.

I purchased a mattress on sale on May 5, 2015. Macy's allegedly offered lifetime warranty for this mattress. The right side of the mattress appeared to be sagging and had a deep contour, that really affected our quality of sleep and caused pain in me and my husband's back. I had to go to chiropractor and physical therapy because the pain started to bother. My husband weighs 140 pounds and I weigh 100 pounds, respectively. Thus there is no reason to believe the sagging in mattress is caused by overweight. This started happening within less than 6 months, the mattress started sinking in certain places. I called Macy's and they sent an inspector. They replaced it the first time because it was bad. They gave me a new mattress (I still think these are all refurbished cheap mattresses that Macy's puts on sale or provides false advertising).
Again, this one, less than 4 months old, started sinking, and me and my husband developed severe back pains (I still go to treatment). They sent the 2nd inspector, who "determined" that the bed didn't have manufacturer required support (it was never mentioned by the first inspector). They suggested we put the supports and see what happens, then if it didn't help to resolve the issue, call them again for another inspection. They refused to replace it. We added a couple of missing supports and everything was by the book. Due to our back pains (which we never had before), I contacted Macy's again on Sept. 15, 2016 to request yet another inspection or replacement.
The 3rd inspector took all kinds of measurements and verbally told me that, yes the mattress was sinking within a short period of time, and he left handing the phone to me to talk to Macy's furniture representative, who kindly told me that all measurements inspector took "were within the limits and they could not replace the mattress". I clearly saw that the measurements were off when the inspector was taking them. I wish I had recorded it as proof. He told me that "mattresses do sink in the course of time". I told him I knew they did, but not within less than 4 months of usage. I became very angry and told him I would consider filing a lawsuit against Macy's furniture for Unfair Business Practices, Fraudulent Business Practices, Unlawful Business Practices, False Advertising, and violations of California's Consumer Legal Rights. He told me if that's the case he would hang up on me, and he sure did.
This is a clear misleading and fraudulent business practice to lure consumers into buying a mattress on sale under false pretenses that you get it with lifetime warranty but when it's time to stand up behind the warranty, Macy's does everything not to make it happen. It would cost them less to replace the mattress than pay inspectors for false inspection reports. Inspector told me one thing, and the representative denied it completely. I even asked them to refund me my money and I would get a decent mattress somewhere else, but they simply did not want to hear and or do anything to help.

I had very negative experience with the customer service at the woodfield Macy's. I purchased 14 items for my daughter and got home missing items in the bag. After waiting for 20 minutes to be helped it's a complete mess. They are very unorganized. I called the customer service line the next day to make sure I report this issue (thinking this is a normal company who cares about their customers). I spoke to a floor manager will and I arranged to come to the store and see him to resolve this issue. Unfortunately I couldn't make it on that day but I also called the manager and did let him know I will go in to see him the next day (I respect other times).
The manager told me he will in the store until 9:00 pm on 10/04 so I went see him around 6:00 pm and he was gone for the day after I rush to get there. He was not there, however they had to call another manager Scott who didn't even took the time to come and see me at all. He end up sending another floor manager Cheryl (she was really nice and tried to take care of this issue) but she still need help on how to Handle this issue and she had to go back to scott for help. After wasting my time again at the store today 1 hour there scott comes up with this unprofessional decision to tell me we have to review tape to make sure no items walk out of the door Without paying for it (excuse me). I spend $600 dollars this month at Macy's (I promise all items will be returned soon).
When I called the floor manager will and report this issue I also requested him to pull up videotape to ensure. My question now why was this not done ahead of time and do I have to waste all this time? The only answer I can find to this question is poor customer service. I never had to file a complaint or leave an bad review, but this is by far the worst experience ever!! I am a loyal Macy's customer. Walmart employees are more kind than upscale Macy's!! Think about it before you insult a client!!! They should be ashamed.

*Warning to all Macy's shoppers*: I have been a loyal shopper at Macy's for over a decade, and will never shop at Macy's again due to their disgusting treatment of employees and their raw GREED among other failures. I do not want to contribute to their embezzlement of employees (and defrauding of their investors by over-projecting sales before the actual figures came out) making Macy's richer.
My mom recently started a job there for the experience to keep herself occupied, and it is the most miserable place to work at - like a *factory sweat shop*. The managers are incredibly hypocritical - their true faces come out within a week of working there. I have never seen her my angel of a mother so disheartened and overworked, yet management still ridicules her and disrespects her. BTW the Pink Pony charity - DO NOT buy any of those raffle tickets or bracelets. Macy's offers a deal of 25% off if you buy the $5 bracelet with about a thousand exclusions, and they know it is a terrible deal so they advertise it under "charity."
In addition, they are doing it for the TAX WRITE-OFF and GOOD PRESS. There is no oversight as to how much the customers pay for the bracelets vs. how much actually goes to charity. So, so unfortunate. I am sickened with the entire establishment of Macy's and will be telling everyone I know and encounter to never shop at Macy's again. No wonder there is such a high turn-over rate. DO NOT WORK AT MACY'S UNLESS YOU WANT TO RUIN YOUR LIFE and your spine. Most abusive company you can work for. The look on my mom's face when she came home from work everyday broke my heart.

It's hard to determine size since I lost weight. Sometimes size is exact and at times small. At the stores they tend to accept the coupons and not online. I do know they will match what is online at stores. I guess it depends on the sale. I dislike shipping costs. The best is buy $25 get free shipping. There are times when I only want 1 or 2 items and it cost more and not saving. I then don't buy and lose out in sale. I don't drive so online shopping is the best for me.

I have only had several occasions in which I had to call Customer Service - one when an order was duplicated and I asked how was the best way to return it and another was when a pair of shoes was ordered online and the shoes had two different sizes. The clerk at the Macy's store deleted the shipping charges and I called customer services asking why did I have to pay shipping for a defective order. They promptly returned the shipping charges. Sometimes I'll go back to my bag a few days later and my choices are still there. I usually do not have any issues shopping online at Macy's. If you do not order the minimum for free shipping the charges are steep at $9.95 unless there is free shipping even for a few hours. The choices are many online and much more than shopping at the free standing stores. I love their return policy - no questions asked. Sometimes what you ordered may not work and one of their stores are not far from where I live.

Had to return a different item, no hassle at all. User-friendly website, great sales offered. Online shopping is easier for me than retail shopping. I don't feel overwhelmed by racks of clothes, different areas of the store for each different clothing line. Clothes appear to be in better shape when bought online and delivered to your home.

Used my Macy's American Express card in late June. Received first bill in July and paid the full amount July 27. In August, I received a bill that had a "late fee" only. Ok, maybe I missed the payment deadline? So I went back online and paid the late fee in full. In September, I receive a paper notice that I have "$0.00" balance. Good. October 4th, I get a bill for the full amount again plus additional late charges. And the automated phone calls have started. I received 2 last night and 3 this morning. Have been on hold trying to tolerate unbearable warbled, distorted music for 29 minutes. I can hardly wait to close this account and shop elsewhere.

My wife shopped at Macy's religiously, and always used her Macy's card. I talked her away from using the card, and paid off the remaining balance, leaving the account at $0. The next month she gets an email that her bill is ready. This email contains no information regarding the bill, due date, minimum payment, balance, etc. that one would expect, and gets from companies such as American Express.
Since the bill was paid in full the prior month, my wife disregards the email. The next month she gets another of the same, and this time tells me to look at the account. I try but the website is down. So a few days later I check again. The account that was paid in full now has a $6 dollar balance. Apparently, if there is any balance the next month it applies a minimum amount of $2 for interest. This had piled up for three months.
Fine. I call customer service to ask about this. I pay off the balance in full again. Friday my wife received another email, so I log in to check the account again. Website is down again! I wait a few more days, and $4 balance! This company is a shame and their in-store credit card policy is a shame. I will never shop at Macy's again. As a side note, Citicard runs the Macy's in-store credit service. Costco will also lose my business for their recent shift from AMEX to Citicard to save money on processing fees.

They cancelled my order. Never called me. I called them and after 45 minutes of them not understanding English and transferring me they hung up on me. I went on Facebook and told them to call me. I emailed them and told them to call me. When they finally did they placed my order for one pair of pants and not at the original discount even. I called to cancel it. After half an hour got it cancelled. I spent over 3 hours on this. People really need to be accountable for their actions and they are not.

I spent over 20 minutes this morning on "hold" listening to (horrible) music, waiting for the Macy's representative to come on the line. The music was periodically interrupted by a recording telling me how to pay my bill online instead of waiting, and they warned that it would be a long wait. Let me back up a little. Last month, they sent me a statement with an incorrect late fee of $35 added to the bill. I called, finally got through, and got the late fee removed. I paid the legitimate part of the bill online and thought I was through with it. So, this month I got another bill with the "late fee" doubled, plus interest! Plus a series of robo-calls, with a collection agency recording telling me to press 1 if I wanted to pay my bill over the phone. Mind you, I had not bought anything; the bill was entirely for nonexistent late fees, plus interest.
I called them again, and after the 20 minute wait, finally got through to a representative who apologized profusely, told me that the previous late fee had only "partially" been removed (huh?), and said she had removed the entire fee, and I won't be bothered again. Well, we'll see. I cut up my Macy's charge card and will never buy anything that way again. I don't care if they offer a discount; I'd rather just use a regular credit card. Why on earth should anyone be put through this kind of ordeal for no reason? In fact, I doubt that I'll ever again shop at Macy's, period. I have to wonder how many elderly or confused people are "robbed" this way. Getting a call from a collection agency is not only annoying, it's alarming. Really makes me angry.

I LOVED shopping at Macy's online and in store however recently when you make an online purchase, they follow it up with a "Macy's Consumer Protection" call where you have to provide a code they left on your voicemail on the number they have provided. My sister and I live abroad and my sister was visiting my mom in the States. I placed the order to be delivered to our house in the States and they called a number I no longer have (and didn't provide on my order - I used my mom's phone number since she's home where the package will be delivered). When I didn't answer the phone I don't have, Macy's sent me an email to notify me. The email said "Please retrieve the message we left for you at the phone number ending in ** by 6 pm on 09/18/2016 to ensure your order is not cancelled and ships to you as quickly as possible. When calling back, please have your reservation number available."
I obviously could not retrieve the message but called with my order number and within 60 seconds the rep on the phone went from flat to rude with a strong attitude in her tone. I explained I ordered before and have had this issue before. She gave me more attitude and kept repeating "either call from that number or give us the code we left on that phone's voicemail". That was it. I let it go.
THEN my sister (who in the US) makes the same order and puts my mom's phone number. They call my sister's old number and the same process starts again. Does Macy's think no one changes their phone number? Do they think a sale isn't worth having someone on the phone that says more than two sentences repeatedly? The same thing happened to me 6 months ago and I missed sending a birthday gift to a friend. I don't know why I tried to place an order again. I'm overseas and online shopping and delivery to the US is basic, and something I should be able to rely on. NOT from you Macy's. Never again.

If a Macy's employee asks for your phone number so they can add you to their clientele, DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM. They store your card information, address, phone number, even birthdate and transaction history for future reference. They can even order and buy things using your phone number without you even being there. It is a disgrace that a company like Macy's gives their untrustworthy employees access to customer information with a simple phone number. Most employees do not explain what they are doing and store your information without your knowledge.
This has happened to me a few times already before I realized what they are doing. Macy's customer service via phone supposedly has no idea about the clientele database but I am sure someone there does! It even starts to gather information from Macy's.com purchases and BLOOMINGDALE'S PURCHASES. It is a complete violation of privacy and I am currently working with customer service to find a way to remove my information.

I should mention first that I have never written a negative report in my life, but I cannot stay quiet about this company. First, I returned a few items, which took about two weeks for them to allegedly "credit" (according to the site), which they didn't do but sent me gift cards instead. I have *never* dealt with a company that refused to refund my money. This move insured Macy's Credit Card kept everything I spent.
Second, I ordered an e-gift card for my son, which never worked. I called them four times and finally they indicated they would "refund" my money. Of course, that hasn't happened, and at this point, I don't expect it to happen. I have accepted the fact that I'm out $100.00 and that this company is mismanaged, greedy, surreptitious and dissembling. If you, like me, value your money you will lock it up away from these people.

I have never, ever made a credit card payment late, and I have had NOTHING but problems with Macy's. They do not send email notices, so I have to remember when the payment is due by phone calendar.

Today I had horrible experience. What is going on at the Huntington Macy's? Employees have a horrible attitude. I bought two Men's Polo shirts to be given as gifts. I asked the cashier for a Macy's paper bag. She said NO. I saw paper bags was under the cashier's desk. The cashier was angry toward me. She said "here, take it." She never said "I am sorry, I didn't know that the paper bags were there." I was surprised that a Macy's employee was so rude and lied!
The first floor had a food event. I was given 2 dishes (spaghetti) for my son and me. I needed to use a chair for my son. A heavy set female Macy's employee in a purple shirt came to me, "Don't use the chair." I asked "How can I hold two dishes and take care of child?" She had lot to say "You are supposed to have one dish! We are going to use this chair. You have to move." She had to have more consideration, as a Macy's representative, for my 3-year-old son. He could spill the food and slide on the food. Event restaurant employee nicely gave me two dishes?!!! Do I need to throw one in the garbage? She was rude and not afraid to express anger to client a customer and her young child.
After my shopping I saw a "Sushi event." I went there and tried to get a sample of the sushi. Suddenly the heavy set woman and an ** male, both Macy's employee came to me. They said, "You have to get out. We watched the video. You had a dish already. We will call security!!" What were they watching on the video, me sampling the food?
There was nothing posted ,"One dish per customer." I believed I could try 2~3 different kinds of foods can take if I want. And this was not even Macy's food. Macy's provided the space only, nearby restaurants wanted to share. It is my right to choose the food I want. The heavy set woman employee was not afraid to insult me, She and the ** male were involved together. I asked "what's your name?" She passed by me. I followed her "What's your name?" She said "when you follow me I will call security!!!" A customer can ask an employee's name.The ** guy was very rude when I asked the female employee's name. He said "I'm not going to give it to you." When I complained to the manager about what happened, he did not stop arguing with me until the manager told him to stop.
Macy's employees can at least show etiquette. VIDEO CAMERA is not that type of NASTY PURPOSE. If you have limit of policy WRITTEN!! No one cannot insert or nasty team play to customer, threatening as SECURITY!! These two employees on the first floor seriously need customer service education! The heavy set woman would not give her name when I asked. She ran to the second floor! The ** cooperated with that woman. They were both nasty, rude, argued, and intimidated me. Who are they? I am a loyal Macy's customer. Target employees are more kind than upscale Macy's!! Think about it before you insult a client!!!

I have not been able to review my account online, I have not received statements, it is impossible to manage a Macy's account - I think that is the goal, lying to customers and promising statements that are never going to be sent. I cannot access my account online either, you can log in and it takes you to an apparent credit card site, but will not load anything. It just spins and brings you back to the previous page, asking you sign into your account, again. Every customer service rep is from India, they are obviously part of off shoring jobs, and are useless as they are also aware that they cannot provide any customer service, again, that is the goal.
I hope this company goes completely out of business and hopefully the people in charge are all put in the spot light, exposing their intent to confuse and lie to their customers as they obviously have no plans to run a proper company with a proper website. Macy's is a joke. Buy from them only if you are using your own card (not a Macy's store account) cash, and keep you receipt. This should be illegal.

When I reported they said should have received paper statement. If I got that would have paid right away. I have had Macys credit card for 11 years. Never missed the due date.

Macy's has been a complete nightmare to deal with. We received a gift card for our wedding present from my grandfather. We were excited to look at the Macy's couches for our new apartment. We found a couch we liked and went to the furniture counter to ask what the total balance would be after we applied our gift card. We decided we would love to order the couch so we gave the man our credit card for the difference and he then informed us that the couch was back ordered for 8+ weeks. We needed a couch right away so we told him to CANCEL the order immediately. We left the store and purchased a couch elsewhere, believing that we had CANCELED that order. In the following weeks we received letters from Macy's regarding our order so we had to call Macy's for over an hour on 2 separate occasions informing them that was a MISTAKE and we did not ORDER the sofa.
They finally told us they would cancel it and issue us a full REFUND. We traveled to Macy's months later to use our gift card and were told that we had no money left. We were confused and had to call Macy's to confirm the balance was indeed $0. We then called customer service and spent HOURS on the phone with them trying to understand why we had $0 balance and they told us that they issued a refund to the credit card that purchased the gift card. They would not tell us the date they issued the refund or which credit card it was issued to. They also wouldn't email me any proof saying that is what happened. I then spoke to grandfather about the refund asking him to go through his credit card statements for months searching for this refund. He was unable to find it, not to mention how ridiculous my request was. The guy was trying to give me a kind wedding gift and now he is stuck on an endless search for this mysterious Macy's refund.
In the end he did not find it so I just spent another hour on the phone with Macy's trying to get the history of the gift card transactions or details about the date they issued my refund. They informed me they COULD NOT HELP ME. They could not give me any information about my gift card number and they needed me to tell them the credit card that was used to purchase my gift card. Completely absurd on their end as it was a gift and it was Macy's who issued this mysterious refund without letting me know. RIGHT NOW my gift card is $0 when it was given to me at $400. I do not know who I can speak to at MACY'S to get this straightened out but it has been a total nightmare and I will never shop at Macy's again. I told my story to many people I know and they have told me of their own similar nightmares with Macy's. If anyone has any advice please share it.

I had been to the Macy's store in NewPark Mall in Newark CA on 31st July 2016. The store was closing in ten minutes and I rushed to the counter downstairs after shopping so that I could pay and go home. In the hurry, I forgot my brown bag which had two tins of body butter bought from The Body Shop on the counter in the men's section. I realized this when I reached home. I called Macy's customer service on Monday morning at 10:00 am and talked to someone in the counter in the men's section of the Macy's NewPark Mall, informing them about my brown bag. The person who attended my call assured me that the brown bag will be safe in the lost and found section.
On Tuesday, the 2nd August 2016, I visited the Macy's store again and met with the employee who had done my billing in the men's section. She told me that she saw the brown bag that I had forgotten, and sent it upstairs to the third floor where the lost and found department was before she signed off from duty. I inquired in the lost and found section and LOL the two tins of body butter and the brown bag was missing from the lost and found section. The employee in the lost and found section mentioned that they usually clear all the items within a week if nobody claims it. But it had been only 36 hrs since I had forgotten my brown bag. Then where did it disappear? The Macy's employee at the men's section clearly remembers that she had sent it to the lost and found department on Sunday 31st July a little later after the store closed.
It is very embarrassing if employees in the lost and found department do not take care of things which the customers forget and starts stealing. This is a very shameful act. When I informed this to the manager she offered me two $25 coupons. I do not shop much at Macy's but took the coupon. This incident and experience was the most terrible one I ever had after shopping from Macy's. I returned all the things that I had shopped from Macy's and felt that this store has no policies for employee theft.

My complaint is on Macy's card services for their department store credit card. Over the past ten years I have cancelled and reopened at least a half dozen Macy's accounts because they pull the same fraud every time. They send out invoices every other month. If you charge something in the month not invoiced, there is no invoice issued for that month and then they automatically carry it over to the next month, where you get an invoice that includes a $27.00 late fee and an additional interest charge. It is a scam. I have watched them pull this off for over ten years. For years I've paid them rather than take the time to call and complain but I'm sick of it. They need to be fined and ordered to stop this fraudulent process.
I charged items in June, they sent no invoice in July and sent one for August with $31.17 in fees on a $192.55 charge, more than 16%. Think of the free money they make on people who don't bother to confront them over their invoices! Every time I call they take the charges off and then do the same thing again. Invariably, Christmas would come around again and while in the store, in exchange for significant savings, I would open another account and the cycle would start all over again. It's hard to avoid since Macy's is one of the last fine department stores left in the country, especially at Christmas. This pervasive, fraudulent practice needs to stop now! I did file a complaint about this to the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) and am waiting resolution from that group. I encourage others who have been the victim of this fraud to demand satisfaction from the CFPB and from Macy's card services.

I have never had a problem with Macy's, before, until now. Never got sent bad items. Called their customer service and the only way they would send it back was if I could print out a label (told them I didn't have a printer or knew of anyone with a printer) or I would have to take it back to a store which the closest one to me is 2 and a half hours). I told him about my situation and he did not care. Those were my only two options, no exceptions. It wasn't my fault. I could've sent them a picture or something for proof and then sent it back if they MAILED me a return label. There goes 40 bucks out the window for one item. Thanks, Macy's.

Ordered a mattress and box spring from this incompetent retailer, with the false belief that they would be concerned for their customers and their reputation. They promised delivery between 10 AM and 12 AM but called the day of the delivery requesting we provide a cross street so that they could find the house. The driver of the subcontracted delivery "White Glove" service said "we don't deliver there". Why did they take the order, confirm the delivery date and time, and ask for a waypoint if they don't deliver there? It's because the driver didn't want to drive 45 minutes to her house and said we had to reschedule. Spent over four hours on the phone with customer service, the delivery service, supervisors, managers, and the salesperson that sold it and not one person was able to help nor address my concerns.
My only hope for Macy's is that this retail icon continues their downward spiral and eventually fails. To have total disregard and disrespect for customers warrants shopping elsewhere. And that is exactly what I did after I cancelled the order. My only hope is that they take turns sticking that mattress and box spring amongst the entire customer service team!

I ordered a tankini last Tuesday for a pool party I was going to on Saturday. I paid $20 extra for Express shipping, so I would receive it by Friday. As of Thursday, only the bottoms had shipped out. I started to panic. I emailed customer service on Thursday morning, asking when the rest of the suit would ship out. Nothing. No response. By Thursday afternoon, I'm really starting to worry. There's no tracking number and my item still says processing for shipping. So I called customer service and explained to the lady that if I didn't receive the other half by Friday, I want my shipping charges refunded back to me. She explained that it would be shipped out overnight and I would have it by Friday.
Friday comes, and lo and behold, it still hasn't shipped. I've received the bottom half at this point, but no top. Not to mention, customer service still hasn't replied to my email. I went on Twitter and tweeted Macy's that I was having an issue and they said they would look into it and someone would get back to me. Nope. Never happened. They finally shipped the top on Friday afternoon, which didn't arrive until today (Monday). The party was last Saturday.
I called Customer Service again on Friday and told the guy I spoke to that I want my shipping fee credited back to me. He looked up my order and told me that he didn't see a shipping fee. Say what?! At this point, I'm turning red and fuming. I pull up the order email and read it to him in a very stern voice, "SHIPPING UPGRADE: $20!!!" Miraculously, he found the shipping charges after that, but told me it was "floating." Uhhh??? I explained that if the money wasn't put back in my account by Wednesday, heads were gonna roll. I am appalled and disgusted with Macy's and their "customer service." Btw... the rest of the order came today.

I ordered gifts for my bridesmaids back in April for my wedding in late July. They were on backorder immediately after I purchased them and I was given a ship date of mid-June. I figured they actually would ship in June, but that was not the case. The ship date changed 3 or 4 times before I finally cancelled. They were still selling the product online too and it said "in stock" yet no one could give me an answer as to when they would have the product again or what the issue was. I called and emailed numerous times. Emailing apparently gets you nowhere. I had been corresponding with someone, yet there was no record of this when I called next and they claimed I had not verified I still wanted the order. (??)
This time when I called they said they would ship that week and offered expedited shipping. The very next day I get an email that the order is delayed AGAIN indefinitely. This time I had my fiance call because I was at work and they refused to speak to him. When I got home, I called and cancelled the order since the wedding is next week and the likelihood of them shipping on time would be close to none from my experience with them. How can you have something on your website if you do not have it in stock and clearly are unable to obtain it from the vendor? In addition, your call center must be based in India because it was very difficult understanding anyone and calls would drop, which is really frustrating when you've been on hold for a while.

I have had my Macy's account since the mid 90's - always on time.

I tried to contact Macy's several of times and according to the people with heavy foreign accents - they had no such program. I called different times, but still the reps said no. So I continued to make payments sometimes late but I dealt with the late fees. I usually called and paid over the phone, never by the internet because Macy's literally withdrew more money than they were supposed to (another mess).
Another time, a customer rep with a foreign accent gave me false information about how many days I was late and when I sent a letter to BBB, corporate responded with "I am sorry for the inconvenience" dialogue. They also stated that if I am having economic problems, I should take advantage of their hardship program. WHAT?!
I called again for the hardship program and one of the reps with the foreign accent said the program never existed. I had responded by reading from the letter I received from corporate. She said hold on and in a short amount of time an English-speaking rep (with no accent) came on the line to help me with the hardship program. Since then, no problems... they draft the money right off my account and my balance has been decreasing. All or most of these calls are monitored, why is Quality Assurance not taking note?

I then contacted Macy's who replied within a day. It was something about them sending a replacement.

They then said they would chase this with Macy's customer service and to give them a few days.
I then got a call from Macy's who advised they had a size xs but it was not in stock (maybe they didn't want to pay for the postage of it??). The top was worth 23 approx.

I told her I would not be paying the return postage costs and she confirmed I would get refunded for this. She said she would email me the details. When I got the email she put that I will be paying the return costs which obviously would never happen. I emailed them a few times again after this... again they disappeared and never bothered replying. I couldn't ring them as they are based in New York and I'm in UK.
I didn't see why I should have to cough out more for this. After a few email they finally decided to get back to... the dispute couldn't be reopened and if I waited to send the item back it would have been too late to take it further so I told them to give me 20% refund of the product which they agreed to. I then contacted Borderfree through PayPal dispute to confirm this dispute needed closing in order to get a measly amount back. They confirmed this so I emailed them to advise I am closing the dispute and to refund me asap... which they did a few days later. Was seriously not worth the headache and will NEVER buy from this pathetic excuse of a company again. Their customer services are ** and clearly couldn't care less.

How is this fair that they don't make any effort to call me or leave me a message to let me know there are charges on my account? They are ripping people off. I have already paid the fees because I felt like there was no other option because they say it will be reported on my credit score. If there is more that could be reviewed that would be great.

While Christmas shopping in December 2015 I opened a Macy's credit account to purchase a couple of tops. I shop regularly at Macy's and other stores, generally using my debit card, so didn't notice that I never received a card or a bill in the mail. Over the next few months I received calls from numbers I did not recognize (Mason OH) but when I answered, there was a lot of static and then the call dropped. Eventually I connected with an agent for Macy's informing me I had missed payments on my Macy's credit card. I told her I didn't have a Macy's credit card because I had never received anything but eventually we figured out the error.
I was told the account history showed the mail had been returned over the previous months because it had been sent to the street address instead of the billing address. I said I was willing to pay for the items purchased but not any other charges as it was Macy's error in sending to the wrong address. She said she would send it in for review which would take a week. I asked for a complete history of the account since I will have to correct this on my credit report and was told I would be mailed it and a new card since I never got the first one and the history.
To this date (7/1/16) I have received nothing but one regular statement for the disputed amount and it shows no history at all, not even the payment I made June 8. However, I still receive calls from Macy's credit and when I tell them about the problem they assure me everything is in the mail and it will be resolved. These agents never take the time to review the notes which is very exasperating because they make me repeat it over and over and over.
Today I called and spoke with Mario who again did not review the notes on the account and instead wasted my time despite my best efforts to get him to transfer me to a supervisor.

I contacted Macy's and they stated that the charge was made to Amazon using my Macy's American Express card I t5old them that I had never used my Macy's card to purchase anything from Amazon and asked what the purchase was and where it was shipped to. They declined to answer and told me to submit a copy of my Amazon account purchases, which I did. However, as I do not have an Amazon account, I submitted my wife's which showed no purchases during the time period of the charge. They told me they would investigate and take care of it. Subsequently, I received a couple of calls regarding the outstanding balance and each time I gave the same information I gave the first person. I then received letters regarding my outstanding balance. To which I again called Macy's.
This continued for four months until I received a letter stating that I could "make payment arrangements." At the same time, I received a letter from my bank stating that my line of credit was "suspended" due to derogatory credit on my credit report. I checked my credit report (score was over 800) and found that Macy's had reported my account as past due! Needless to say I was livid. I contacted Macy's and spoke with a supervisor who put me on hold for quite some time before coming back on the line to let me know that Macy's did not turn my information over to the fraud department as they should have, and that the balance was going to be written off immediately and a cancellation notice would be sent to the credit reporting agencies.
It's been three months since then with additional calls and letters to Macy's as well as the credit reporting agencies and my credit report still has not been cleared. Macy's obviously doesn't know what they are doing and their employees are certainly not doing their jobs correctly. They have a customer service department as well as a fraud department and both give me contradictory information regarding resolving this issue. I have closed my account and my wife has closed her account as well. Beware!

I ordered a pair of shoes on 06/09/2016. What felt like forever went by and I received them. They were the incorrect size. No big deal, mistakes happen. I contacted customer service and they promptly put through another order for the correct size and credited me the shipping. What felt like forever went by and I received them. They were the incorrect size again. Okay, getting annoyed, but I contact customer service and was told that they were going to put through an entire new order, as the SKU number could be the problem at the warehouse. What felt like forever went by and I received them. WRONG SIZE AGAIN! I now have received not one, not two, but three incorrect items. I am furious.
I contacted customer service and could hardly even understand what the girl was saying. I am going to hold onto the third pair received, as I don't feel like making ANOTHER trip to Macy's. I assume that when I receive the 4th incorrect pair, I can just make a trip there with everything. Also, it needs to be noted that I have several charges for ONE PAIR OF SHOES on my Macy's credit card. After all of the runaround I have been through, these shouldn't cost me A DIME.

I visited the Macy's Women's store located in Pembroke Lakes Mall at 11605 Pines Blvd, Pembroke Pines, FL 33026 on Saturday 06/18/16. I asked for 2 pairs of shoes for size and waited for over an hour. I finally received one pair of shoes to try on. After I waited for another 20 mins I asked the attendant (his name was **) if they found my size (same attendant I asked initially) and he said: "I don't know." What kind of answer is that? There was a lot of people in the store that day but that answer or treatment was unacceptable. The Women's shoe section of this store is very unorganized. It was complete chaos and the Management of this store obviously doesn't care about people waiting, or Customer Service. Maybe you need more team support on Saturdays since you know the store will be more busy than usual? They definitely need a better system.
I will never come back to this store again. The Customer Service I received was horrible. It was very frustrating to deal with any of that store's staff. I will be posting a negative review about this store every chance I get, and mention the incredibly bad service I received. Moreover, I will mention this to all of my friends and family to make sure the word gets around. What was supposed to be a good shopping experience turned into a nightmare. Also, I have recently signed up for a Macy's credit card but I will be cancelling it, as I do not want to deal with a store that does not care about its customers or their time. Macy's just lost a very good customer, and it is bound to lose more, which is very disappointing.

I have called customer service, tried to get help with an item and not being able to login to write a review. Most time they don't understand what you are saying they hang up on you. I have been hung up on several times and I called corporate they don't care. They don't say they are sorry. Can't believe the treatment. for them. To be a high end department store used to get better service. I have been a customer over 25 years and getting poor treatment like this; if it wasn't for customer purchasing they wouldn't have a job. They need to retrain all their customer service and corporate staff or clean house. Word of mouth can make or break a business. I expect better from them. Most people hate Hecht's sold to them.

I am renewing my vows next weekend and I bought my ring with plenty of room for it to come, just to find out it's totally out of stock and they won't just send another size so I can go and resize it.

When I know they can just send the next size up but are refusing to and lying and saying they can't. I use to work for Macy's and I know the company's policy. I can't afford to just buy a second ring right now even though they said once I got the email saying "my order has shipped" they CAN change it. I got that email today, called and was told, the ring is still NOT available and the email was WRONG. I leave on the date it says the ring "will come" if it even can come.
I keep only being able to talk to people overseas and they don't know **. Even after revealing I was a manager in the past they doubled downed and said it was impossible to just send the next size up. Every time I talk to someone new they say something different even though they have notes from previous notes. Guess I will be wearing a fake ring when I renew my vows. Thanks a lot Macy's.

Macy's got a "fraud procedure" going on where you purchase items and return them online and never receive the credit. I made a purchase of over $300.00 worth of clothing items with my Macy's credit card online in April, and returned within 2 weeks. I never received credit for these items as it's now June 7th 2016. I spent over 2 hours over the phone with Macy's. Macy's intent is to "not assist you intentionally" but to transfer customers to the wrong dept. Repeatedly. No one knows what to do and if you had all day they will refuse to assist you. This is a fraud thing they got going on to make extra money$$ off of their customers. WARNING... DO NOT make purchases online if you're not sure it will fit! They will never credit your credit card!

I have had numerous problems receiving orders on time from Macy's. 2 years ago, Christmas items were not delivered, but showed up on my doorstep 3 months later. When contacting Customer Service, you are automatically connected to someone in the Philippines and had to ask several times to repeat what they were saying. Transferred 4 times around the Philippines and finally requested to speak to someone in the US. As I asked where the Filipino customer service agent was located she replied "The Philippines, why? Have you ever been here?" Smart A. They do not resolve issues at this company, they just apologize for their incompetence.
I placed 3 orders of merchandise to take on a trip to San Francisco - leaving tomorrow. They were delivered to the local post office instead of my home which means that I have none of it for my trip. Macy's suggested that I call the Post office and go pick it up myself. I am disabled. The post office doesn't allow this plus, who does that? They are the only company I have ever had an issue with like this. Returning all. Don't waste your time or money with them.

I was told to go online, have tried to purchase and got a damaged sweater (already worn stained) that was near impossible to return the item and get shipping charges and cost of item credited. Try coming to the store and they will give me the most recent literature at the help desk. O.K., not for me. I have a drive to the closest store and would appreciate looking at a brochure instead.

We purchased a leather couch at Macy's in 2012. Unfortunately, the couch had continual problems with the electronics (recliners) and we had to have service on it numerous times. Each time it was not fixed but told someone else would need to come out. Because we overall liked the couch, we opted to keep it and continue to have service on it. Well, their "Worry no More" decided they were not going to continue to "fix" the existing couch and cancelled out service person, but did not inform us of the cancellation. When the person did not contact us or show up, we contacted them to be informed that Macy's "Worry no More" cancelled the service ticket. We then contacted Macy's to find out, indeed that was done. We were told a letter was sent, of which we never received. At that point they told us we had a specific amount of time to find a new couch at Macy's to receive the refund.
We then picked another couch and set up delivery and pick up. Well, no credit was ever made to our card. I started calling 3 weeks after pick up to find out the couch was never inputted at the dock as a return and was told it would take a few days and I should see a credit. A week later no credit. I called to find out the amount had been credited to an old Macy's Visa, not the new Macy's American Express. Long story short, after numerous calls with the department store, Macy's customer service, Macy's bed and furniture, and "Worry no More", 2 billing cycles later I still do not have a credit on the correct card, and now am being told, they should've contacted me to issue a check. Then I am transferred to another person to be told: they will transfer to the other account. It is simple. WOW, really... Now I just want the check since transferring has not been a simple task and I no longer trust their promises to deliver.
Also, new couch already has something wrong and we are once again requesting someone to service it. I would not buys furniture at Macy's and would not have purchased the second one there had it not have meant forfeiting the amount of money we spent on the first couch. Think twice and be prepared to be disappointed if you need to rely on the "Worry no More". The people are nice, but apparently no one knows their protocol/process and communication is not high on their list.

If I could rate -0- stars, I would certainly do so. After being a loyal Macy's customer spending thousands of dollars a year and being a preferred member reaching the highest level of customer ranking, I missed one payment because my father was dying and they reported me to the credit bureau for being 30 days overdue. I understood as they have no idea why my payment was due. However, what I didn't expect was when I called offering to provide proof of illness and explaining the situation they simply told me that the only time they reverse reporting to the credit agencies is when it is their fault and that they could not do anything.
Someone needs to tell the Macy's executive management team that customer loyalty should be respected which is why credit companies such as Discover are doing so well. I was spending on average over $500 a month on internet and store purchases and no more. I'll be looking for a not Federated Department store chain to take my business too and make sure I am appreciate as a customer there. I understand Nordstrom is very good at honoring their customers loyalty and have great customer service.

I would like to gift a friend from Singapore who was assigned to work in Sunnyvale, CA for 2 months, however I live in Minnesota so I thought of ordering items from Macys.com for pick up at Macy's Valleyfair. Orders from .com are given 7 days to be picked up and then they promise to refund unpicked up items. My friend had to work overtime so she was not able to pick up the first one, I ordered again because the time is up for the first item. I bought the first gift for pick up on the day of her birthday. This one was marked picked up by the store but she never made it to the store at all. 4 days after it was marked as returned. Okay I got my credit back.
However, the second item was not picked up but again marked as picked up. I waited the same amount of time to see if they will mark it as returned and refund me. It has been over 21 days now and I already called almost everybody from call center to executives at macys.com and until now they do not refund me. They promised to investigate the issue but until now nobody returned my call.
I never had issues with my local store here in Minnesota. So are the associates at this branch allowed to steal items that are not picked up? I was thinking associates can just steal items, marked them picked up and let the person who ordered the item suffer. To think they should never ever mark unpicked up items as picked up and then return later unless they are really picked up and returned. They should ID the person and keep proof that the items were picked up e.g. an actual signature. They cannot show me actual proof. Because they charged me I will ask my friend to go there this weekend and really pick up the item. I hope someone start a settlement for situations like this. Also, they said they will charge for free gifts. To be honest I just throw fragrance samples in the garbage. I returned their free gifts.

I've been shopping at Macy's for many many years like everyone else does. And it can be hard to deal with their payment department if there is an error during their payment processing. All right, I set up Macy's credit card as a payee on my online banking system so I could pay the payment easily. You just need to input the amount then click send, the bank will issue the check and send it to Macy's. So the process WAS fine for a long time until April, 2016. My Feb payment went through by online banking with no issue. Macy's received and applied to my account. Then I processed the same thing for my April payment $99.55 through my online banking. In May I received a call and a statement saying I have to pay $99.55+$27 late fee. So I checked the online banking, checked the statement. I did pay $99.25 already. My bank did send out the payment to Macy's. But it has not been cleared.
So I called Macy's and told them I paid the payment through online banking as I did in the previous month. I need to know if Macy's received it or not, what is the reason the payment has not been applied to my account. So Macy's payment department staff said she does not know and kept asking me to pay the payment plus late fee. So I asked to talk to her manager. She refused to transfer me first. Then after a long wait, her manager finally picked up the phone. After I asked his name, he hung up on me. What an experience!

However, when arriving home from work yesterday afternoon I had an email stating that there was a problem placing my order and that it had been cancelled. I immediately contacted the number on the email.
The first OVERSEAS representative that I spoke with proceeded to tell me that since they could not reach me at my phone number ending in ** so they cancelled the order. She also said that a voice message was left. My phone show all calls, missed and received and there was no call from Macy's or any voice message. The representative continued to repeat her scripted response that the order was cancelled because they could not reach me at my number ending in... I asked why they were trying to reach me in the first place. I placed my order using Paypal checkout. My accounts are already confirmed and verified with Paypal. Isn't that why consumers choose to use Paypal as they confirm and verify this information for the merchants?
In addition, both my billing and shipping address is the same on my Paypal account as past orders that I have placed with Macy's checking out with my Credit Card. I demanded that my order be replaced. I was told that I would need to go on-line to re-order. WHAT??? At this point I asked for a supervisor. I also did not appreciate that this representative was basically calling me a liar for not acknowledging that someone had tried to call me. The sale that I placed my order on was no longer offered!
After requesting a supervisor I was transferred to another overseas representative who continued to tell me why they were trying to contact me and why my order was cancelled. Again, no acknowledgement or I'm Sorry when I explained that no one contacted me except for the email telling me my order was cancelled. When I again demanded that my order be replaced I was told that they could do it over the phone with my VISA card. However, she would have to transfer me to another Department. Frustrated at this time, I hung up as I had wasted enough time. I was also refused when asked to speak to a U.S. Representative.

I have had so many problems lately with Macy's when ordering online. I can't even begin to tell you about them. The latest was last night when I placed an order and was given the offer of a 20% off discount for opening a Macy's credit account, but the order had to be placed within 48 hours. I filled out the short app online and got instant approval. Problem is that they didn't give me my account #, nor did they link it to my Macy's account and I never even got a confirmation email even though I was required to sign a digital agreement to receive account approval info via email. So I finally track down the phone # for Macy's credit and called them this morning. She couldn't find my account by the ONLY phone # that I provided on my app., nor my social, nor my address, nor my email address: very unsettling.
Then after putting me on hold for 10 min she comes back on the line and Voila! Suddenly she was able to find it. She said she would transfer back to a rep at Macys.com who could link my charge account to my existing Macy's account. So I ended up talking to this rep that asked me questions about my identity for another 10 min. I mean not just 3 or four questions: it was beyond ridiculous - to the point where I was made to feel very uncomfortable with the inquisition. She then says she will link my new charge account to my order but that I would not receive my discount on the order itself, but rather would receive a credit back on my statement after the fact. WTH? I don't think so. I was born at night but not last night. I just told her finally to forget about it, I didn't need the discount or the order that bad. What kind of way is this to treat a regular customer that spends a substantial amount of dough with them every year?
The fact that I even had to call about this matter in the first place was bad enough, first off there should have been no reason why I would need to call, second - they never even bothered to answer my email. Then to get treated like a crook when I did call shows me they don't value me as a customer. Apparently they must be on their way out and just no longer care about taking care of the people that pay their salaries.

First, I am going to post and file this complaint anywhere possible in attempt to get someone to address the main issue, YOUR DEPARTMENT STORE BILLS ARE NOT BEING MAILED! A few months ago I called to get my balance because I hadn't received a bill and I knew I recently make a small purchase. When I spoke with a customer service rep I was advised my payment was late. I advise I had not received a bill and actually couldn't remember the last time I received a bill because I usually don't carry a balance. I was receiving bills thru my bank and paying bills electronically, but since my payment was late I was advised my bills would be sent via mail. I was given the balance I needed to pay to bring things current, and was advised the late fee would be waived since I didn't get a bill; I paid my balance in full. On a side note, I also have a Macy's AMEX and I get those bills via my bank and on time.
Today (5.16.16) I called to get the current balances on both of my accounts (Dept store and AMEX) because I charged $92.50 on 5/5/16. When I called to get my balance via the automated system I'm used to I was routed to a CSR, which I knew wasn't a good sign based on my experience a couple of months ago. I was advised my department store account was past due 8 days and need to be paid in full asap. I explained that I had a zero balance and just charged $92.50 on 5/5. She went on to tell me my due date is always the 8th of the month, so my payment was late. I tried to reason with her and explain that I should have already received the bill that was due on 5/8 by the time I made the new changed on 5/5, so how can it be late? She also advised me that a $245 charge I made on my Macy's Amex on 5/2/16 was due today (5/16).
I explained that I just received email notification from Macy's at 4:31am today that my statement was ready to be viewed, how could it be due today? She went on and on about how my bill was due today or I will have a late fee. When I couldn't get her to understand I requested to speak with a supervisor, which she refused. She said she saw the notes that I have issues receiving bills and I needed to talk speak with IT. I requested for a 3rd time to be transferred to a supervisor, she refused again and sent me to IT. Someone answered and then we were disconnected.
I went online and reviewed my account and found my department store acct has a min payment of $29 due 6/8/16 and nothing due on my Amex since the billing cycle hasn't closed since I made the $245 purchase. I printed all of my statement since 10/2015 and found that I have not received bills for month and I have been charged "$2.00 Minimum Interest Charge" several times. I don't care if Macy's is charging me $2.00 per an agreement, I do care that they are NOT sending bills and turning $2.00 into growing late fees that you don't know about because you normally have a zero balance. I called back and asked to speak with a supervisor and was told I needed to hold. I held for 18 minutes before the line disconnected.
I called back again, got my 3rd person for the day who told me I have to be getting bills since they aren't being returned to Macy's. She advised me that my bills will start coming thru the mail. I told her that's what I was told 3 months ago and now I have additional fees. She said she would remove the $2.00 fee--which ones???
After spending 2 hours trying to deal with this, WHILE AT WORK, I went to the local mall to talk to someone that has been very helpful in the past. I waited to speak with Sally ** at the Alderwood Mall Macy's in the INC department. If I ever shop at Macy's again it's because of Sally. She had a line of people waiting to specifically work with her. There were several open registers, but everyone waiting wanted to deal with Sally. She is the only reason I went into the store today. She is excellent with customers and goes out of her way to help. I figured if anyone could help it would be Sally. I know the sales staff can't do much with accounts, but Sally was able to get me to someone that removed additional charges, which I was told had been removed months ago. This rep told me the same thing, you should be getting bills. Yes, I know I should, but I'm not!
While I was waiting to speak with Sally I went online and found these issues are widespread, specifically, not receiving bills. There are several websites with MANY of the same exact complaint. I'm not sure if this is a scam to have customers incur hundreds in late fees or someone is truly clueless about Macy's billing system. Based on what I'm reading it seem to happen with bills for $2.00 and people that don't carry a balance. Macy's needs to find a different bank to handle their accounts. The company they use regurgitates the same info over and over, no matter what you say. You get "disconnected", they have no customer service skills and are very difficult to understand. In addition, they either can't read a computer screen, or the info on their screen is different than what customers see on their account when they log in.
At no time did I show a $2.00 balance when I signed on, you had to go to the statement (which wasn't mailed or emailed as it has in the past) and I'm not sure why someone would look at a statement when they are told by a Macy's rep what they need to pay to bring the balance to zero. Up to this point Macy's was the main store I shopped at for just about everything; clothes, jewelry, accessories, furniture, and houseware, but if this is how Macy's "values" their customers, to waste their day, create stress and frustration, and repeats the same thing over and over yet never resolves the underlying issue, I don't want to be a "valued" customer. I have an excellent credit score, so if you think I would ruin that for a $2.00 bill you think your customers are stupid too. Very dissatisfied customer that will tell EVERYONE! Already filed with BBB and I'm not done.

I haven't shopped at Macy's in 7-10 years, yet somehow, I'm receiving harassing phone calls from Macy's asking me to verify a fraudulent order. Customer service is difficult to understand, rude, and would not assist me in canceling this fraudulent charge. I was treated as a criminal. It took 10 different tries to get to a manager, after being hung up on twice, where I had to threaten hiring a lawyer before the manager would cancel this order. My credit card company was swift in submitting this as fraud. Macy's is terrible! Thieves!

I don't know if someone have the same experience with me. I am telling my story to those who have or wanna open a Macy's credit card account. So I opened my credit card account on a Macy's store in order to get discount in my first purchase. I was told the card will mailed out to my address. But I did not received my card, so I called them to send a new card with NEW ACCOUNT NUMBER. I finally got my card on May, but I haven't used it yet. Today I received a call said I owe $500+ on my account with a purchase on April.
How can someone use my card on April when my card is shipped in May? It's a new account. That means it's not from the card I never received so it can be someone used my original card to purchase. I haven't make account online or purchase online/store yet, so there's not way they can get my card info and my personal inform. So how can someone used my card???
I understand if that is an old account or we made a purchase before so people can get our personal info, but that's not the case! I am worried about the safety of Macy's credit card. I cancelled my card right away even the amount was removed. I notice that because I got a phone call from Macy's, but what about someone use our personal info to open a new account? In that case, you never get noticed!

I checked my account bill and noticed a $37 late fee. My bill was due 4/26/16. I paid in store at 4pm in the afternoon on 4/25/16. One full day early. My bill clearly shows that I paid on 4/25/16. I immediately called the customer service dept and went through the crazy phone tree for 20 minutes and FINALLY got a live person. I pointed out that I paid one day early, and my bill shows that. He had to "investigate" why I was billed the fee. After "investigation" he said he removed the fee. I asked why that even happened and he said they are on eastern time. I told him I paid a day EARLY!!! He had nothing to say but to ask if I needed anything else.
Honestly, this company needs to be "investigated" for the scams they are running in their stores, online, and especially with their shady credit card billing. This should be a crime!!! If I had not checked, I would be paying $37 for nothing. Many years ago I was paying for magazines and called to remove them. Then it was credit monitoring. Now I received notice my rate would go up to 25%!!! Glad I won't shop there again.

On August 14th, 2015, I went to the Macy's located at Manhasset, N.Y. and purchased clothes. The cashier encouraged me to apply for a Macy's credit card because of a promised additional 20% discount if I did. This is where the nightmare began. On September 23rd, I realized I never received a Macy's bill or the credit card ever since I made that purchase and applied for the Macy’s credit card. I called Macy’s right away to find out what was going on. I found out, through the operator, that the cashier did not put in the correct home address that was indicated on my driver's license. Thus, I made a full payment over the phone on the same day and asked this operator to close this account due to the wrong address that was used. The operator promised to reverse the late payment penalty on that day and close the account. I thought everything was settled.
However, I received a phone call from Citibank's collection agency on January 2016, saying that I owed Macy's a late payment on the purchase that I mentioned above. I had to call Macy's again to ask them to reverse the late payment, as I had already paid this bill in full in September 2015. I asked, again, for them to close this credit account. The operator promised to take care of this within 3 business days. It was never done. I called again on February 2nd to check the status. I found out that the account was still active and the late payment was still posted on this account. The operator, again, promised to reverse the late payment and close the account within 3 business day.
On February 9th, I called the Citibank collector to find out that the late payment was still not taken care of and that this credit card account was still not canceled. I called Macy's on the same day. Again, the operator promised to reverse the late payment and close the account, but nothing was done. Every Macy’s operator has promised to close this account and reverse the damages, but nothing was ever done. No effort was put into resolving this issue that a Macy's employee initiated in the first place. This situation has ruined my credit score and the fault lies with the Macy’s employees and their incompetence.

I have been a Macy's customer for 28 years in the Atlanta area. I love their merchandise and for the most part I have no complaint about the stores. I have paid my bills on time 99.9% of the time. All of a sudden this year I try to make a purchase & discover that I am overdue. I had not received a statement in the mail so I did not know. This just happened again. I got calls from Macy's saying I was overdue. No statement in the mail. I called and asked where are my statements and they said that the statement had been returned as not delivered.
Now, I have not changed my address in 19 years and no other bills have this problem. They had of course assessed a late fee of $27. I called customer service and I asked if they had any other issues with nondelivery of mail. "Yes", they said, "there does seem to be a problem with mailing but not my department," the guy said. Well at that point I was yelling down the phone. Not my style, but I was mad. He was about to go into a meeting he said and talk about this. I said, "you better refund my late fee or you will lose this customer." I'm posting this in case anyone else has this problem. There is a remote chance that it could be my local post office - but it's only Macy's bills/statements. Bit too much of a coincidence I think. I switched to electronic billing.

I am so mad that I will not go into detail. I have spent 10 hours on the phone with Macy's because they said they did not receive my credit card payment. They had me email information and had my bank fax proof. Then I get notice that it wasn't proof enough - they want me and my bank to both fax the information again. If you are having difficulty, the first thing to do when calling customer service is to ask to speak to someone in the United States - that way you will at least have a clear line that doesn't drop calls and the agent can speak English. As soon as I get this resolved, I will cancel my card and never darken the doors of a Macy's store again. It's really sad too because Macy's used to be my go-to store.

Was alerted that my order was being shipped. I knew that I had not in deed purchased anything to be shipped. Went on to my account logged in and found some wonderful items being shipped to someone in another state, that I never ordered. I tried to call customer service and waited on hold for almost an hour and 10 minutes. As I waited I also email customer service about this problem. Since my lunch hour was over I had to wait until I came home from work. Called again and waited again before I was able to speak with a women whom was not so nice. I asked to speak to a manager and she stated that they were in Belize. I asked to speak to someone in the states and they stated that they were unable to do that, with the time change.
As of this date I have not been able to have the purchases removed or have my card discontinued from being used. I have been to salespeople here at two different Macy's and all they say is that you need to call customer service. If anyone can help me close my account and stop this person from using my card I would be grateful. I can't even log into my account anymore. I loved to shop at Macy's but this is one horrible experience.

My husband ordered me 3 Michael Kors bags for Mother's Day. I was in heaven but he ordered them all in the same color and design so I wanted to exchange them for a different color. I went to the store at The Orchard Town Center in Westminster, CO. It took forever to find someone to help me and when I did the lady Magda was super rude and unprofessional. One of the purses was from the floor and I had black sticky stuff all over it. I had already pulled the tag off just this one item and showed her the spots and said I wanted to replace. She said I can't. I said "I just got this yesterday and all I want to do is replace these items for something else."
Mind you, had 2 kids with me age 2 and 4 and she was moving a snail's pace. She said she would check with her manager. It took over 10 min for someone to help her figure it out. They then refunded my order on to gift cards which was fine. I knew I was going to go online and buy the ones I wanted. So I went online to search for the bags I wanted. I found the items and looked for in store pick up at another location. I found a couple items available for in store pick up so I called to see if the other items I wanted were available anywhere else, did pick up. We found the items I wanted and placed my $957 order. Yaaa great I really wanted my bags for my trip on Monday, I was happy.
Then I wake up to an email saying that my order was cancelled. So I called the store a second time to see what was going on. My bank card didn't go through because I had just completed a name change. Not Macy's fault so I said "okay, can I give you another card to process the order?" The lady said no, that I need to call my bank to verify what was going on. I said I know what's going on, I just changed my name yesterday and I out my old last name in the order because I didn't think it would update that quickly.
Sink said "I have a card with my old last name, can we use that?" She said "okay, I need to transfer you..." On hold again for 5 min. Mind you I was already on the phone with her for 13 min and nothing got resolved. So I get transferred. A man answers who I cannot hear or understands so it was very difficult to communicate. He said he could replace my order after another 10 min with him. He said "okay, your order is placed," and I said "Well, wait a second. What card did you use? You didn't ask me for a new card number?"
He then hung up on me... No call back so I called Macy's again a 3 time. I asked for a manager this time but the lady I talked to would not give me a manager. She said she could help. I said "I'm pretty sure I just talked to you and I didn't get the assistance I needed." She wanted my order number. I have it to her and she proceeded to tell me once again that my card didn't go through and I needed to call my bank.
I said "I understand what's going on. I've already been through this. All I want to do is place my order for pick up in store today with another card. She tells me the order was placed already. I said "okay, great but what card did he use?" She said didn't know. I said, "okay, is it for pick up." She said "no, it's being mailed and will arrive in Thursday." I said "no, I don't want it for delivery. I want to pick it up." She said ok. I said "can I speak to a manager now." Still no manager given... She then says she will transfer me to someone to place my order again, (4x) this order has been cancelled & re ordered.
Also I have 4 children under 10 running around so I really don't have an hour to spend on the phone. I get a lady on the phone and she tells me "I can place your order again..." I said okay. She then tells me ALL of the items I want are no longer available. ALL of them, I had 6 items for pick up. Really, all of them are gone? Last night the order was placed at midnight, it was 9:00 am when I called the store. Isn't even open but all the items I wanted are gone. I'm livid at this point and tell her to "please just put everything back on my card and cancel the entire order." I will never shop at Macy's again... I have never had this problem with Nordstrom ever.

No matter how many times I have paid my balance in full by the due dates, Macy's keep applying fee charges to zero balances and billing my Macy's store account. On April 8, 2016, I paid via phone the $4.00 incorrectly applied fee charge against account balances previously paid in full, asked for a CF# as proof of payment and requested that the customer service representative close my Macy' s account due to the following: February statement, balance of $26.49 was paid in full by 2/26/2016 due date. March statement, showed a $2.00 fee charged against a February balance that was already paid in full by 2/26/16 and I did not pay that $2.00 "fee charged." April statement showed a balance of $4.00, fee charged against February and March billing cycle for the February balance that was previously paid in full 2/26/16.
On 4/8/16, I called customer service about the error and was told that they had no intention of correcting the mistake that took place back in March and April and I had to pay what they demanded, $4.00. The $4.00 balance payment was immediately made over the phone on 4/8/16, the payment CF#** and I requested that the Customer Representative close my Macy's account.
I am now again being billed a $2.00 fee charged on my May 2016 statement for a previously incorrect April 2016 balance of $4.00 already paid in full 4/8/16. I have made payments against that account in full on at least on two consecutive occasions prior to the due dates and have made no prior months purchases since I want the account closed. This erroneous billing is systematically designed to force my over-payments due to false fees charged and I am again requesting that Macy's correct and refund my over-payments and, close my Macy's store account.

I'm completely appalled with Macy's. I sent in a payment of $800 to pay off my account in full and they cashed it on 4/11 and put it into SOMEONE ELSE'S account. I've now spoken to 13 reps, been "disconnected" on five times, sent in multiple faxes, all to be told they don't have enough information. Macy's has offered NOTHING for the interest-free loan I've been providing them and tells me I will have to wait 1-2 more business cycles once it's figured out to even show up on my account. That will be FOUR months of Macy's having my hard earned money free of charge, all while my account is still showing an $800 balance.
On top of that, you send me a letter stating my interest rate is going up to over 25%?! I've been a Macy's customer for years, always paid my payment, and this is how you thank me? By STEALING from me? I imagine if I walked into your store and took $800 worth of product and said, "Oh I'll pay you for this in four months but until then I'm just keeping it, sorry for your inconvenience," you'd have me arrested. And rightfully so, but you can do that to me as a customer and I'm just supposed to deal with it?! Not ok. Not ok at all. We work hard to be responsible citizens. I was trying to PAY OFF my account.

On February 23, 2015, I became the victim of identity theft. This person (thanks to the Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield security breach) had my social security number, driver's license number and all of my personal information. They had my mail put on hold to hide my discovery of this (a federal crime). Fake credit cards were opened up or attempted in my name all over town. I filed a police report. I had my credit frozen with all 3 credit reporting agencies. The police department has video surveillance of this thief at a Game Stop walking out with $1,400 worth of merchandise in my name. This person looks nothing at all like me. She's not even the same race as me.
All of the credit cards the thief opened up have been deemed fraudulent and dismissed. Macy's is the only remaining problem because I actually did have a Macy's account. In spite of the fact that the card never left my possession, this thief was able to convince sales clerks at 3 different Macy's stores over a 3 day period that they should not only increase my credit limit from $1,700 to $2,500, but also to sell the thief thousands of dollars in Michael Kors purses, watches and wallets without having an actual Macy's card to run through the magnetic card reader. The purchases were made at 3 different stores in the Dallas area on February 24, February 26 and March 3, 2015. I can prove I was not in Dallas on those 3 dates.
Macy's clerks at the Dallas stores must have looked up my account number and keyed it in for the thief. For some reason, Macy's refuses to look up the Dallas charges and tell me what time of day they occurred and that the purchases were made without a card going through the magnetic card reader. Why is Macy's trying to conceal these facts?
When I discovered the theft of my Macy's account number, I immediately had my Macy's card closed, (March 10, 2015). Macy's sent me a letter on March 17 indicating that THE THIEF wanted it re-opened. No comment on that one. Why would the Macy's sales clerks key in gigantic purchases over my credit limit without having an actual Macy's credit card in hand? Is this Macy's company policy? Macy's has denied my claim of fraud because according to their notes, I have given them conflicting information on the phone. I asked if the calls were recorded. They said yes. I requested that they review the recordings. They say they have no access to the recordings. I offered to take a lie detector test. They said no.

I contacted customer service, I gave the gift card account number which was to be applied to my credit card and therefore the gift card was now inactive. I therefore cut up the gift card. After one month, the amount was not returned to my card. I made a second call to customer service and asked to speak with a manager. Upon speaking with a manager I was again promised the amount would be credited to my credit card and I would be given a $30.00 credit. I was informed it would take about a week, "the credit is processing", I therefore went ahead and made a payment to my credit card on an incorrect balance to ensure no late fees.
I am in yet another billing period, I should not have a balance of no more than $20.00. I called customer service again because the amount of the returned purse and $30.00 credit still has not been credited back to my account. I am paying more than what my actual bill should be. The representative gave me another $30 credit (which will be applied at a future date), and I received a dispute resolution number which may take 90 days to be resolved. In the meantime, I will need to continue making the minimum payment due, which I again did in order to not incur a late fee. The representative stated that during this 90 days I must continue making my minimum payments. I will therefore be making payments on my account that should be at a "0" credit card balance.

That put my bank account in negative. This happened on Friday 4/15/16 and it will not be resolved until Wednesday 4/20/16. This is very unacceptable. So inconveniencing to my personal life. Macy's support team and manager said there was nothing they can do for inconveniencing my life without my $298.41. I would just have to wait it out! No compensation, nothing? Is this how Macy's operate? This was Macy's fault not mine. I will never shop at Macy's again. I WILL TELL ALL MY FAMILY & FRIENDS ABOUT THIS SITUATION AND TO NOT SHOP THERE AS WELL!

Since August I have been attempting to resolve an overpayment dispute with Macy's for $4873.22. Summary of event in broad strokes: I was in the process of buying a second home. I thought it would be a good idea to settle any current credit card balances to not complicate things with a pending loan credit check. I went to Macy's website to find my current balance, went to their online payment site and made the payment. Initially it didn't strike me as high because I had ordered furniture but then I realized it was wrong as the furniture was a charge to my VISA at JCP. I opened up the page that lists recent activity to see that purchases had been made in Las Vegas, not by me. I called Macy's, reported it. They assigned me a Fraud case # and canceled my card and ordered a new card.
The next day I called Macy's concerned that cancelling my card wouldn't matter since no one had my card in the first place. I was told the charges were made by someone providing my name (and SS#) and the account was looked up but now I have a "black card" that would prevent that from reoccurring. Long story short, in my anxiety I failed to cancel my scheduled payment. Trying to get the overpayment refunded has caused me hours of time not to mention stress and lost sleep. Every month my Macy's statement simply says in dispute but now it doesn't.
When I call I get transferred to a line that never gets answered. No announcements just music for hours. This person hit other stores (Kohl's, Pier one. etc.) that have the same "look up" policy but since I didn't pay them they were resolved with no problem. I now have a 7 year credit freeze at the 3 credit reporting agencies. During this time I got a card from Macy's celebrating the milestone of being a Macy's credit card holder for 25 years.

I waited 15 minutes in one of your departments and nobody covered for whatever the absent clerk was doing. Then on my way out, I tried to explain this to a poor man who couldn't have had more than a 70 IQ and I'm being generous. You people in the front office pocket all the money...but according to the stock market, your stupid MBA mentality has ruined one of the great retail establishments of all time. Wake up!
In contrast a year ago, I wanted to buy a mattress cover. There were 6 clerks giggling and having a good time. Only one young girl was trying to cover and confessed, "I don't know the price of them and I've never worked here in this department." Macy's may be a block from my apartment, and once again I've learned the hard way, better to go to a place 5 miles away than to go through this waste of time again. UNBELIEVABLE. And you think you are saving money by firing all the supervisors...and no I'm not a person looking for a job as a supervisor.

On November 7, 2015, I made a purchase, with my Macy's card in the amount of $16.22. I went home and didn't think about it. The holidays came and went and, on April 7, 2016, I received a letter from Macy's (no date) saying that they had been unable to reach me for some time and alluding to me experiencing financial difficulties. I contacted the number on the letter. However, the representative couldn't access my account using my telephone number (home or cell). It was then I found out that Macy's had incorrect telephone numbers for my account. The representative couldn't divulge the numbers on file, but did tell me that they were not even in the same area code.
I have had my home number and my cell phone number since 2002, so I am confused as to why there were different numbers associated with my Macy's account. It also appears that Macy's did not have my email address on file. I was then told that I had an outstanding balance on my Macy's card in the amount of $149.41. The representative couldn't tell me what the purchase was for (I didn't remember spending over $100.00 at Macy's recently), but did tell me that it was for a purchase made in November. I searched my receipts and found the one showing the $16.22 purchase. Macy's added $133.19 (one hundred thirty three dollars and nineteen cents) in late charges and fees onto my original $16.22 purchase! Of course I questioned why I hadn't received a bill for the original purchase and I was told that, according to Macy's, I was receiving ebills.
I checked my online banking and it did show on my payees that I was receiving ebills. However, when I contacted my bank, they confirmed that I had not received any ebills from Macy's since 2014. After much wasted time and phone calls, I was able to get Macy's to reduce the charges to $24.75, which I promptly paid. However, my account has now been closed and I have been reported to the credit bureau for non-payment! Macy's waited five months to notify me that I did not pay a charge that was never received! Macy's had my home address.
If I could not be reached by telephone or email (through Macy's own negligence), why wasn't I notified by mail sooner than five months?! In addition, I have proof from my bank that I never received a bill. I will take responsibility for forgetting the charge (which is why I accepted the $8.53 late charge to settle the account). However, Macy's was completely negligent for 1) not having the correct contact information; 2) not verifying that the ebills were being received; 3) not following up on the non-payment sooner than five months later.

My order placed yesterday was unilaterally cancelled by Macy's Customer Protection department. When I wrote in for an answer, I was referred to generic frequently asked question. This does not address my concern as to why my order was unilaterally cancelled and was using the gift card my husband bought from Los Angeles Downtown store. This so-called consumer protection is being carried to ridiculous levels because my previous orders on my credit card were also cancelled despite having obtained approval from the card company.

A fraudulent account (acct) was 'opened' in my name & parked on my CR for years before I found out. Macy's responded to my request for documentation of this "account" in a spiteful letter retorting only that the acct is mine and "will remain on your credit report for 7 years" - an odd thing to add to a validation request, but no evidence whatsoever. And of course, in characteristic contempt of the FCRA the CRAs refused to delete it. Macy's continues to furnish similar but different info to each of the CRAs. They allege the acct had a $100 credit limit that was 'maxed out', defaulted on, then "charged off." My CR shows that I have nearly $30,000.00 in credit available with all accounts combined showing they're "never late" and paid off every month. Macy's tagline looks very improbable next to that.
The oddest data they allege (and the only info that's consistent among the CRAs) is that the acct was opened, defaulted on, and closed (by them) 7 days later! How is it possible to open an acct and default on it a week later? They also show a (differing) balance remaining despite their stating that the acct balance was "charged off" - just another 'minor' FCRA violation. Those alleged "charged off" accounts add up to big bucks for Macy's and billions for the CRAs who are paid to keep them on your CR. Look up the case history of lawsuits against the (3 major) CRAs and Equifax in particular. Given that they're consistently ordered to pay millions in fines and damages it's clear that ** to the FCRA is just a "cost of doing business."
These forums are important (thank you Consumer Affairs!) but make me question if folks are just venting here or taking it further in order to bring to it the attention it requires. Please, file complaints with both your state Attorney General (AG) and the FTC. Personally I've found the CFPB to be a complete waste of time. Nothing will change if complaints stop at the Internet forum level.
I've done this and continue to dispute it (with the CRAs and Macy's). I'm filing an ID Theft report with the FTC and state AG as well. Here's a tip for those who choose to go forward: File your ID Theft report with the police! (I can't stress this enough.) They'll give you a certified copy(s) that you need to file with all 3 (major) CRAs along with your dispute. Follow the dispute process to the letter! The latter 2 actions are critical for obvious reasons (protect your identity), and because the CRAs have to block the related tagline - from everyone who views your CR. If you do this request a freeze on your CRs (it's temporary - 90 days, unless you make it permanent). You only have to make this request with 1 CRA and the others must follow.
IMO Macy's has become a bottom-feeding predator, no different from any CRA, the latter of which should be abolished. Hopefully we'll see that in our lifetime. And Macy's, along with its fellow corporate parasite-predators needs to be held accountable for its fraud. But we all have take steps to make it happen by combing our voices and directing them to all the right places. Btw, don't spend another dollar at Macy's. Don't reward or support their opportunistic consumer exploitation, corruption and outrageous contempt for the consumers who make it possible for them to exist.

In Sept 2015 a criminal tried to open up 5 different credit cards in my name including Macy's. One company would not give them a card because they knew it was fraud. 2 companies contacted me because they knew it was a fraud. I had to call Macy's and another company to cancel the credit cards and report the fraud. I immediately contacted the Federal Trade Commission and all 3 credit bureaus to report the fraud. I filed a police incident/investigation report with the sheriff's office and got a case #. I received letters from all of the companies except Macy's that they had advised the 3 major credit reporting agencies to remove the fraudulent accounts from my records and all charges were removed. I have talked to numerous people at Macy's customer service and the Macy's fraud dept. On 11/30/15 Jackie verified that they had received my Macy's statement of fraud form on 10/20/2015.
On Jan 6, ‘16 I received a letter saying that they regret to inform me that my claim could not be accepted as a fraud and they were returning me to the collection department.

On 3/7/2016 I answered the phone and it was collections from Macy's. I told my story again and she was very sorry and said that fraud and collections are two different offices. She was going to send collections an email and tell them to quit calling me.

Last year I was in Macy's and a few other stores looking for living room furniture. At a shock to me I liked the price and look of their set better than the main furniture stores and they gave me a great deal and approved the increase in my credit line for the $2400 purchase. I paid off the card this month with 3 payments totaling $1750 so it would decrease my credit to debt ratio so I could purchase a new home and I was thinking that the report to the credit bureau would reflect accordingly. Macy's reduced my credit line without warning to $1500 and reported that I had only $24 open on my account as I still had a balance of $1476.
Their logic was "we felt you line was too high for general merchandise". At any rate their actions negatively impacted my credit score by 30 points. Logically speaking if they were going to reduce the credit I suppose that is fine but they should have reported the $1476 against the $3200 to show I actually did pay on the account so it posted positively as it should have with the higher credit limit and then shown the $1500 limit the next month in April giving me notice of their decision and the time to remedy the credit to debt ratio. With the high usage reflected I will not be able to close on the purchase of my home. My advice to you is watch what they report to the bureaus very closely as they are apt to mess with your score and have NO conscious in doing so.

Fraudulent charges were made to my Macy's account via online on Xmas. A gift card was purchased and a single item delivered to an old address. This address is not even listed on my Macy's account, so the system should have flagged it right away, especially since a gift card was being purchased online. I submitted all the fraud investigation paperwork. They told me it would take 90 days to complete the investigation. 90 days!!! Meanwhile, the fraudulent charges were never removed, so the Macy's collections department continues to call me every day. You would think that Macy's would inform their own collections department that a fraud investigation is underway for a specific account! I've called numerous times and have been assured this would be corrected, but I still continue to receive collection calls from them.
The cherry on the sundae is that my credit score has been hit because the 3 credit reporting agencies show a non-payment for this closed account. You would think Macy's would have removed the charges while the investigation is being conducted. I had to write to all 3 reporting agencies about the fraudulent charges. I believe these charges were made by someone internally at Macy's because my old address is not listed online. In addition, the Macy's phone system is a convoluted mess of prompts to speak to a customer representative. Macy's has been in business for a long time. You would think they would have their system efficiency perfected. I'll never shop at Macy's again. Numerous failings!

Macy's has long been the store-of-choice for my family for "special" presents... something for a special occasion. Macy's is not an online-order type of place, in my view. Our wedding registry was at Macy's. "Special" wedding gifts I've purchased from Macy's. It is disappointing to have to report that their online ordering system and fulfillment is as unsophisticated as their merchandise is sophisticated. An order that I had purchased for a special birthday- a lovely birthstone necklace- I had upgraded to express shipping to allow for holiday weekend travel plans. Given that I am a working mom with two young children and a busy schedule, convenience of online ordering is #1 in my book. Unfortunately, the special part of my order was not fulfilled- and the notification came a full 24 hours, by e-mail (not by phone), with the ineloquence of a notification that "your shipment of paper towels is out of stock".
To order a special gift of jewelry and get only an email noting, "whoops here's your refund," is nice, but to be charged the full $20 for express shipping (and have the credit applied against a gift card that I cut up- that's a whoops on my part that I know not to do ever again!!), is not the mark of a special store. Certainly not one that stands to compete in an increasingly online-driven marketplace. The customer service representative was courteous enough, but seemed exasperated that I was asking to be credited the amount I was due back in a manner I could fulfill (and not have to rummage through garbage to re-assemble snipped gift cards!!) and the $20 express shipping as well. On a rare vacation day from work, with my daughters napping and juggling laundry with household tasks, this is not how I wanted to have to spend rare down time, but I'm so upset about this experience, I hope that sharing it helps others.
Don't count on your order being in stock. Don't order anything "special" online in Macy's- go to the store. Or just go somewhere else. Unfortunately, I'll have to start spreading the message to my family members that "Macy's" gift cards are not preferred over Amazon. And I still have no gift for my sister in hand. Boo, Macy's, boo.

Following is a history of my attempts at correcting the fraudulent activity allowed on my account by Macy's, including the four very confusing and unhelpful phone calls that nice as people were trying to be didn't resolve the matter. A Macy's credit card statement on 11/14/2015 indicated a past due balance. I checked the previous activity and found a macys.com purchase of a very expensive handbag and a balance of roughly $400. I buy my work suits and men's clothing in Macys stores, but I have never purchased anything from macy.com and certainly not a leather bag. I sent a message to the Message Center. The reply message on 11/30 indicated I needed to call a toll free number.
On Monday 12/21/2015 when I was off from work before Christmas, I called the number provided and talked to Eddie at 7:39 AM. I explained simply that I have never authorized Macys for an online purchase and that I had not purchased an expensive bag. He opened case # ** and said that Macys would call and email within 14 days. I did not receive a phone call or email as promised, rather received by mail a copy of the delivery slip that proved that he purchase was made by somebody else and delivered to an address in Oakland, CA that clearly was not mine.
On 1/11/2016 I received the following message: "Thank you for taking the time to contact us about your Macy's account. I appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. I apologize for still seeing the fraudulent charges reflect on your account. We received the dispute request on 12/21/15. Please be advised that initial investigation may take up to 60 days." On 1/25/2016 I called the same number as before and was transferred to Christine in another department. Christine told me that it looked like the dispute was handled and final on 1/6. I wanted to believe her but explained that I had only received a letter with a copy of charge, so it was unclear about next actions taken, whether I needed to file a police report, etc.
Christine read notes on my account and seemed perplexed. I was placed on hold while she called Customer Service. She came back and said the dispute was completed on 1/6/2016. She told me that corrections will reflect on the next one or two billing cycles. I asked whether that means the balance will be removed. She said "Yes, the $401 charged." I asked whether remaining charges (shipping, tax, late charges) would be removed. She answered yes; they'll take care of all related charges and fees. I asked whether credit will be adversely impacted. She said if I am not receiving collection calls, then I don't need to worry. They will send letter to credit bureaus notifying them charge was resolved; not mine.
All of this should be available on recordings, as I was notified every time that calls may be recorded. I received another response to my online query on 2/22/2016. On 2/26/2016 at 2:15 pm. I called 800-884-9168 again and Carmelo answered at 2:21. After telling my story again he told me that he was in Collections and that he would need to transfer me to Fraud. Jill answered at 2:30 PM and told me she didn't see a fraud claim. Jill put me on hold (like last time). AT 2:40 PM Jill came back and said I needed to go back to Collections to have my charges removed, so she transferred me back to Collections at 2:51 PM.
Danika ** (not sure about spelling) answered and told me not sure why the last rep transferred me to them. Needed to transfer me back to Fraud. At 2:55 I was on hold again. Chris answered at 2:58. "I understand you want to file a dispute." Indicated the case was resolved on 2/12. There should be no balance. (I mentioned that somebody had indicated previously that the case was resolved on 1/6.) Needed to partner with account rep so I needed to hold. Pat answered at 3:03 PM and places me on hold again!
After waiting all this time, the call dropped at 3:21. And even though Pat (and others before) asked for a number where I might be reached if the call is dropped, nobody called me back. The called started at 2:15 and was dropped at 3:21 PM. I called yet again on 3/1/2016 at 10:27 AM. Bob in Collections answered. I explained that the last call was dropped and that we had a conversation in progress. He transferred me to Fraud. Brandon answered at 10:30 AM. He explained that this should be a fraud claim (wasn't it already?). He would send me a fraud claim form and that I could fax back to 800-844-9168. Why didn't anybody identify the need to send me a fraud claim before?

Beware of using Macy's credit card. I have been a loyal Macy's customer for 7 years with a perfect credit score. In 2015 I lost my job and house. With 3 part time jobs I kept paying my card until December that I became unemployed and thought I had liquidated my balance. I didn't receive a Macy's statement for 3 months.

I've spent hours explaining to different people because they pass me along to another department. Finally today, after over an hour on the phone with 4 different people, I got to talk with Rebecca, a City Bank payment specialist to be told that I didn't qualify to make payment arrangements. She told me that, since I don't have a backup plan in 6 months, they will continue to charge me late fees unless I make their required payment. When I asked about the meaning of a backup plan, I was informed that I had to assure them I would have a job.
First of all, If I wasn't in this situation I would not need to make payment arrangements. Second, I wish I could guarantee I will have a job in less than 6 months; this is not a situation I am happy about or wanted to be in. Unfortunately I learned how disloyal Macy's can be to its loyal customers. I just want them to stop the late fee charges and to let me continue paying an amount I can afford. They just don't care.

After 20 mins, I was told that one pair of shoes was discontinued but I would be given a 25% discount. He then had to take my information again including the gift card numbers. I was then told another pair of shoes was out of stock. At this point I was totally frustrated and canceled the order. I wanted confirmation that my balances would be returned to my gift cards and wanted to talk to a supervisor because I had been on the phone for over an hour. The rep did not respond to my request and hung up. I will NEVER order anything online with Macy's again.

I don't live by a Macy's, but when I visit my parents I sometimes shop there. I set up an autopay so that my balance would be paid in full every month. I purchased some items in late November. My bill was due Jan 9. My autopay was in place, so I wasn't concerned. I noticed that the amount was removed from my checking account that month, so I thought things were fine.
However, I received a call in March that I had an outstanding balance of over $100! I thought someone stole my card. I was shocked that the balance was all fees! The autopay didn't get processed until Jan. 10, which made a late fee come to my account. That late fee racked up to $100. They removed it, but I am questioning why the autopay didn't go through on time. Why autopay didn't cover the fee? It just continued to pile up for months. It seems like a scam to get more money out of consumers. I think they hold back payments on purpose. Will not be using them ever again!

I returned 2 items and they won't refund my money. I purchased a pair of boots that needed to be replaced, not once, but twice. I sent back the defective pairs, but Macy's is insisting I didn't, so they won't return my money. I checked my account online and it shows the warehouse accepted the 2 defective pairs of boots on Jan 19, 2016. Even after this proof, several phone calls, and emails, Macy's will not correct their error. They state I need to prove the boots were returned by providing the tracking number which I didn't keep since they had the return.

We bought sunglasses from SUNGLASSES HUT in Macy's at Manhattan. Then we bought two more sunglasses from Sunglasses Hut in next block in Manhattan. Because we open an account and the store gave us 40% discount. So we want to return the item which we bought from the Macy's Sunglasses Hut store. We came to Huntington Sunglasses Hut (which in the Macy's Long Island/Huntington) they did not take it. We have receipts. We have item but they did not take it back. They didn't return our money which we purchased with Macy's card. Store manager Chris didn't do anything. He was not kind. He said that we have to go back Manhattan store. He didn't explain anything, just said "NO!"
Store manager (Chris) says they didn't put the item number on the receipts. It's writing on the receipt wrong item number. Is it my mistake?? And he didn't call the other store. He didn't do anything. But Neson who is the manager of the Macy's he really tried to help us. He called the Manhattan Sunglasses Hut. He was so kind but SUNGLASSES HUT MANAGER DIDN'T TRY TO HELP US AND HE DIDN'T EXPLAIN ANYTHING. HE WAS TERRIBLE (Chris). They didn't return money.

Beware of using Macy's credit cards. I've spent six months working on resolving a dispute with them. Call centers in the Philippines, Florida, Mason, OH, St. Louis were as confused as I about my account, passing me along to another department, all over a refund that was posted incorrectly. Robot calls three times a day, late fees. They have lovely voices and are helpless to analyze a problem and make a decision to resolve it. You will lose money in the process.

Macy's purchased Meier & Frank that I had been with for over 30 years. I loved the store. I liked Macy's too until they turned the credit card business over to Citibank or Citicorp. There is no longer any customer service. When you have a problem, there is no representative to talk to you. The phone system makes sure there is no way to talk to a person. I have had many problems with them. First I did not get my email changed even though I was assured at the Macy's store that they had the new one. I didn't know I had to also change it with Citibank.
After two months I received a late payment notice. I have all my payments online automatically but the bill went to the wrong email address. When I got that straightened but still had to pay the late fee, I cancelled my account. Next I wrote a letter to Macy's to complain about Citibank. I was given a $15 credit and asked to remain a customer so I did. However I didn't use the credit for awhile until this last week. I got the bill today showing no credit. Evidently it had a time limit. I tried to call them about it and could not take to anyone. I am through.

I tracked the package to find it was delivered on Jan 27th. I called on the 28th to see if the payment had posted to be told that it hadn't and to call back in a couple days. I called almost every day to see if they had the payment. February 5th I was told since the payment hadn't posted to my account within 3 business days of receipt that it was sent back with a letter explaining why it couldn't be posted. On February 9th the check cleared my bank.
I called to make sure it post and to see when they will be updating the credit report. I was told they didn't have my payment and I will need to mail in proof of payment. There was no number that it would be faxed to. At this point I am not very happy. I issued a CFPB complaint.

My Macy's and Bloomingdale's American Express credit card information was stolen and used on two different days at four different Costco locations in Pennsylvania. I was completely unaware of it until Macy's and Bloomingdale's fraud department finally blocked the card and called me. At this point I did everything I was told to do like filing police report, filling fraud claim form and mailing it. After 3 months of bogus investigation I receive a letter from claim investigation department stating "We regret to inform you that your claim can not be accepted as a fraud and your account is turned to a collection department".
Let me restore a sequence of events that took place. On June 26, 2015 criminals who stole my credit card information went shopping to Costco at Glen Burnie location in Pennsylvania where they made purchase for $2946.70. After this they went to a different Costco location in Baltimore, where they purchased the same item for the same amount of $2946.70. All of this did not bother fraud department of Macy's and Bloomingdale's. And with a blessing of Fraud Department those criminals proceeded and had a chicken dinner $29.64 and serviced a car $75 in Pennsylvania on the same day. The very same day June 26, 2015 I am using my card to pay for lunch $7.0 at the hospital cafeteria in Brooklyn, NY where I am working.
And so the criminals very successfully test drive the card and "vigilance" of Macy's and Bloomingdale's Fraud Department and went shopping again on August 8, 2015. This time again Costco at Harrisburg $2882, Pennsylvania and Costco Lancaster $3600, Pennsylvania. The very same day I am using my credit card to pay for parking my car at the garage in New York City near the hospital where I worked between 7am well after 9pm. I was in shock when I received a letter from Macy's and Bloomingdale's claim investigation department stating that their conclusion is based on "history and notes". This is the only explanation that was given to me... "history and notes". Right now I asked them to reopen a case, still waiting for the second round of "history and notes" investigation. I have a feeling I need a lawyer.

I have to say there's a snobby employee in the Flushing Macy's store (136-50 Roosevelt Ave, Flushing NY). I have walked in the Flushing Store around 6:45 pm, Thursday, 03/03/2016, looking for a Ruby ring. There's only one Chinese woman worked at the jewelry counter. I have asked her politely to show me one of the Ruby ring. However, she asked me if I'm gonna buy it now. I was surprised about the question because it looks like she wanted me to buy a $8500 ring before I can even try it. So I asked the employee that "May I see it first?". She told me that they didn't have any discount today so I have to tell her if I'm gonna buy it, otherwise it looks like a waste to show me the ring. I was shocked by the answer, and she didn't show me the ring eventually. Obviously she didn't think I can afford a Ruby ring so she'd rather not wasting her time. I was shocked by her attitude to screen the customer and treat them differently.
This is definitely and insulting and discriminating experience from Macy's. I can go back to the store to get her name and employee ID if you need. And definitely need a feedback from Flushing Store Management. I purchased quite a few jewelry and fur coats from website, and the orders always worked well. This is the first time for in-store order, I was insulted because the store worker didn't think I can afford the merchandise. It's a shame for this woman and Macy's because she insulted the reputation for the place who employs her and pays her!! Macy's should fire her!!

After several months of disputes, Macy's has finally reached out and has worked out the issue with me.
Original Review: Feb. 25, 2016
First, allow me to express how dissatisfied I am with Macy's as a whole. In September 2015, I purchased a Mattress from Macy's Lake Grove, NY. I explained to the sales representative that I had a bad back and needed a mattress that would accommodate my needs. When the mattress first came, I called Macy's and advised that the mattress was not what I expected and was not very comfortable. I was told to give it some time and was advised, “You need to sink into the mattress first”. So trusting Macy's, I gave it some time. I called back approximately at the 60-day mark and was told I could not return the mattress.
At this point, my back ached even worse and my husband who does not have back issues also stopped sleeping on the mattress. I explained that the mattress would not work and offered to come in and purchase another one. I was told I cannot return it but only that a technician could come to the house to look at the mattress. I told Macy's there is nothing physically wrong with the mattress other than it’s just too soft and at this point, my back was getting worse and worse. I also asked if the technician comes to the house and finds nothing wrong with the mattress, what options would I have and once again I was told nothing could be done.
Being so upset and not believing this was actually happening, I decided to try and again and hopefully be able to call Macy's to be able to reason with someone. I called last week in which I spent over 3 hours on the phone with 10 people. This ranged from local stores sales to managers, to regional managers to customer services and online customer service. I finally had some hope when I spoke with a woman by the name of Micah in Macy's customer service. Micah advised Macy's takes back anything and since this is a mattress and I don’t want a technician to come to the house, I can deliver the mattress to the store locally and they will refund my card. I told her this seemed very odd and to please enter the conversation and what she was advising me to do into the notes as I was calling the Macy's Lake Grove, NY store to confirm I can do this.
This would have entailed a lot on my end as I would have to rent a truck to bring a king size mattes and two box springs into the store. When I called Lake Grove, I was told exactly what I thought, they do not take mattresses back by a delivery from a customer and that I would need a technician to come to the house. Once again, I explained all of my dilemmas with Macy's and was told there’s nothing that can be done. I asked them to review the notes that Micah put into the system as she did not enter what we discussed. Even more frustrated at this point, I then spoke with several other managers throughout Macy's and was told the same thing—nothing could be done. In the meantime, I already purchased another mattress. I now have to make an appointment with the Dr. to see why my back is in so much pain. I also tweeted and had a direct message with Macy's and was told they would look into this issue - that went dark as well.
I am completely dissatisfied with Macy's and need this issue to be resolved. I cannot believe the amount of time I have spent with Macy's and have had no success. I have always been a loyal customer and spend a lot of money in Macy's yearly on various items. I pay all my bills on time and never had an issue like this. I do not think that it is fair that I am stuck with a $1500 mattress that I am unable to use and the fact that I was told I can’t return it, then I could, then I couldn’t. It's completely absurd.

There were some unauthorized charges in my account on August 2015 (I live in MA, charges were made in CA). I notified Macy's on September 2015 after receiving the account balance. I received the fraud investigation statement and mailed it. Today, February 23rd 2016, I haven't received any solution. I was first assured and told that I didn't need to pay that fraudulent balance. Since different departments seems not to communicate with each other, I have been getting calls and mails from Macy's asking me for money. Macy's has reported to the credit bureau and saying that I am late for payments. I have spent literally hours explaining my problem to different associates without any success.

In the first week or two of June, my husband and his mother took me out to purchase some dresses for my birthday. His mother paid for the dress that she was purchasing for me and I was to charge the remainder of the purchase on my Macy's account that I have had for several years. The sales associate that was ringing up the order for us said that she could not find my account and said that since I had not made a purchase in over a year that the account was probably closed because of inactivity.
It was because of this, I opened a new account and completed our purchase. When my husband paid the bills monthly, he was not acknowledging that there was two separate accounts and when the bill for the older account would come in, he would just put it in the receipts as paid. During this time, I assume that the billing statement for the newest account would come in first and we ended over-paying in the amount of $138.37 because my husband would make a payment assuming that he did not pay it that month and would make another payment.
I was then receiving calls for the late payments on the older account, that is when I found out that I had the two accounts and had told the woman that was calling about the late payments that I had overpaid on the other account and that I wanted that overpayment sent to us and to cancel this account. I then told her that I would be paying the original amount due on the older account and would not be paying any late fees as we had been paying and it was not our fault that your sales associate made a mistake and opened and new account.
I will not be paying any more late fees as we believe that it was your sales associate that had made the mistake and opened a new account. I believe that someone in the billing department, if they were doing their job correctly, would come across two accounts going to the same person with the same address and that they should have investigated this issue and had it corrected immediately.
I am writing this letter to let Macy's know how incompetent they are in both the store and the accounts department. I am very upset for the mix-up and at the same time, my husband's mother had died and we were dealing with the funeral, death certificate and other issues not mention the daily telephone calls demanding payment. We did not need this issue to add to our frustrations. Because of this issue, we are paying the original amount and two late fees and we believe that Macy's should write off the over-payments as they ended up being your company's mistake to begin with. I want both accounts to be cancelled and I will not step foot in another Macy's store again! I am disgusted that you would put someone through such a situation!!!

I am a victim of identity theft and Macy’s has BY FAR been the hardest company to deal with in this regard. My Macy’s AMEX account had been in great standing for 10+ years with a credit line of $7K. I had an open account until Macy’s decided to close it with no explanation or record of why that was done. I was first hit with unauthorized purchases in March 2015 and dealing with that round was very smooth. I had a $280 balance but was advised to not make any payments until the Fraud Claim was processed and cleared. I did as I was told and everything was taken care of. Once the claim was cleared in June/July, I started making payments on my balance again.
Unfortunately, my account was hit a second time with other unauthorized charges and thus I submitted another Fraud Claim. Again, I was advised to not make payments on my balance until this was cleared. (If anyone has ever been a victim of identity theft/unauthorized charges, you know how long this process can be). After a couple of months, I started receiving phone calls on a daily basis from the collections agency. Each time I spoke to someone, I said my account had fraud and was waiting to hear back from the Claim Department so that I can continue paying my balance, but first needed to be cleared. Each time the person understood, looked at my account, and apologized for the multiple calls. They also apparently flagged my account that it was under investigation so that I would no longer receive the daily calls from that department; they stopped calling for a while.
Every time I would request to get transferred to the Fraud Department to check on the status of my claim and each time I was told they were still investigating and I should receive a letter in the mail once that was done. After some time went by, I started receiving calls again from the Collection Department on a daily basis. Finally, I spoke to someone that apparently took care of the claim on the spot. He said that it didn’t look like they received the claim I mailed (which I did) and that he would just go in and take care of it. That was until I again started receiving phone calls from the Collection Department and that’s when I knew something was still wrong. They had no record of it being cleared and now they said I was supposed to continue making payments on my account REGARDLESS of there being an open Fraud Claim. This is information that was NEVER disclosed to me where in fact it was the complete opposite.
Regardless of that, my account online was closed until the claim gets cleared and so there was no way for me to make a payments online. At one point in the early stages of this I even asked to pay off my outstanding balance and I was advised against it. Now, after being transferred around multiple times I finally spoke to a Manager that said would take care of it but said the only way was for me to pay off my balance, which I did. Now, during that phone conversation she was super rude that I wish I took down her name. She also said that the “delinquency” (which is not my fault) would be removed on my credit report. Till this day, it’s still showing and negatively affecting my credit. I spoke to someone in the Consumer Protection Department and even she didn’t know why my account is closed… It’s a mystery yet to be solved.
A this point, I just want my delinquency to be removed from my credit. I get false promises from everyone I have spoken to there. I refused to ever do business with Macy’s; every other department store I had to deal with was a smooth process. Every call I made to any Macy’s department was over 1+ hours and I made a lot. You should have record of each of those; I don’t understand how none of this information was noted in my account.

We had made a purchase three months prior that we were never billed for, and were unaware we had a balance. Upon discovering this we paid it immediately and requested that the negative report be removed because we had never been billed.
The Consumer Credit department personnel were unprofessional and practically hostile to our request. Rather than recognize from our long standing payment history that we were unaware we had a balance, they would not accept our honest account that we had never been billed. We have cancelled our credit card and will no longer be dong business with Macy's due to their predatory credit practices.

Macy's customer service has been declining for some time now. During the Christmas season I needed to find a new Holiday shirt and the associate was using the item I had just brought up to purchase a dust rag, rubbing it across the counter like she was wiping up a spill. I was so disgusted that I walked out. Recently I bought some clothing and shoe items which was somewhat weird because the shoe department was overly protective of their merchandise and would not let me purchase them outside of the department but refused to give me a discount on any that had some slight damage.
So later that evening I discovered that a security device was left on my item I had purchased which was very embarrassing. I went back to the store for their mistake and again asked to be given a discount for the inconvenience and they refused. They took off the device but could care less of my embarrassment or just return the item. I happen to like the item but I really don't care for Macy's anymore.

Last night I placed an online order and later received confirmation of that order. I realized the shipping address they had was almost 4 years old and no longer correct. I immediately tried to change the address but got a message that I could only make changes within 30 min of placing the order. Of course by the time I got the confirmation it was too late. I called Macy's and was told that I could make the change as soon as I received an email saying the order had been shipped (sent to carrier) - that it would probably be today. Well, today no email. I called Macy's and was connected to someone overseas.
To make a long story short there is NO WAY they can change my shipping address. Really? They could have done it last night easily. But, probably the worst is hearing all the recordings over and over. They did give me a phone number for USPS but, guess what, only recordings. No surprise there. I always thought Macy's was a notch above WalMart but it doesn't seem so.

I said I didn't recall receiving any check and to please send me a copy of the front and back of the cancelled check. I have called 10 times now asking for that copy and this is what I'm told each and every time. "We sent you a copy. We'll send you another one." One of the reps even gave me a case number, then the next time I called that rep said they don't give case numbers. It's been established over and over again that they have my correct address but I have still not gotten copy. I'm beginning to think that these customer reps have found a way to steal refunds.

My credit is getting ruined. There were some unauthorized charges in my account on August 2015. I notified Macy's on or about the first week of September 2015 and other several times. I received the fraud investigation statement on or about January 16, 2016 (after the third try contacting Macy's). Signed and mailed it. Today, February 12, 2016, still no word or solution. I was assured and told that I didn't need to pay that fraudulent balance (that was so naive of me). I have been getting harassed with calls from Macy's asking me for money. Macy's is reporting to the credit bureau and saying that I am late for payments. I want to know who can I contact so it can fix this!!!

Their website doesn't work so you can't pay online. I paid off the balance over the phone. Then I started getting more and more calls about my "new" balance so I resolved it and they removed the erroneous charge. Then the next month they called me over and over again asking me to pay double the previous amount. I told them I was sick of this and to remove that error "balance" AGAIN and close my account. The lady promised and swore that it was all settled, no balance and the account is closed. This was months ago.
Now this month they have been calling me over and over and over saying I have a balance, again, for the fourth time, even though it was closed with a $0 balance months ago. I thought it was a scam. They reported the charge and now my credit score dropped over 100 points. They are now claiming that I still have a balance!! This is incredible! I am on the phone now with a rep and have been on hold for 30 minutes. I was going to take out a loan and now I have to wait to resolve this or I'll get a high interest rate. I seem to not be the only one here with this fraud. We should form a class action lawsuit against Macy's!

Absolutely the worst credit card to have. The website is extremely difficult to navigate between the Macy's line of credit and the American Express portion and it is nearly impossible to find the balance due. With numerous fraud transactions on my account, late fees and finance charges accrued. I thought I'd give them a try again and after finally getting the fraud taken care of. I made a few purchases at Christmas time. I made one further transaction on January 2nd and asked the sales associate for my full balance due so that I wouldn't have any issues with late fees or finance charges. She did not include the transaction that was just made and now I have late fees and finance charges due. I'm done. Closing the account. Macy's is not worth the hours of being on hold, dropped calls for literally hours!

Macy's Fraud Department contacted me by phone on September 25, 2014 to verify suspicious charges and it turns out the charges were fraudulent. Macy's Store Card removed a $266 charge from my Macy's store account but told me I should send a "Statement of Fraud" to Macy's American Express Fraud to Department remove a $40.00 Shell Oil charge made in Delaware. I live in Naples, FL and I have never been in Delaware. I was told not to pay for the $40.00 charge. That same day I went to a Macy's store in Naples, Florida and paid off my balance of $1,343.40 in cash.
Macy's Fraud Department told me they were mailing a "Statement of Fraud" to my home address (they told me they could not e-mail or fax the form). After several calls to the department I received said "Statement of Fraud" on October 22, 2015 (1 month after the initial call). I signed it and return it by mail on October 23, 2015. I called the fraud department and I was told it would take several weeks to process the fraud investigation after they received my letter. I paid my November Macy's statement balance minus the $40.00 Shell Oil. My headache was just starting. The Fraud department keeps saying that they have not received my letter or my fax. So, I started calling and faxing as follows: Faxed on December 10, 2015, Called and Faxed on December 11, 2015, Called and Faxed on December 16, 2015, Called and Faxed on January 15, 2016.
The answer is always the same: "there is no record of receiving the Statement of Fraud by either mail or fax therefore we can not investigate it." After losing my patience, I sent a copy of the "Statement of Fraud" to the Fraud Investigation Department by FedEx signature required on January 15, 2016 and it was delivered and signed for on January 20, 2016. Afterwards I called the fraud department and after one hour on hold they told that they would give me an answer in a few weeks. My credit is damaged, Macy's calls me everyday looking for payment, the original $40.00 is now over $120.00. I have spent more money with calls and FedEx that I would have if I have paid the original $40.00.
I want to clean my credit but the Fraud Investigation Department of Macy's American Express card cooperating and it has made my life hell for the past 4 months. I was a very good customer and I can not wait to close this account and never again step in a Macy's store while I am alive. The Fraud Department told me they would remove the $40.00, late fees, interest and clean my record once the investigation was done - it has been 4 horrible months and I am sure I spent more money in calls, time and FedEx than the original $40.00 fraudulent charge.

This all happened on the Macy's located in Westland Mall, Hialeah, Florida. The salesperson that engaged me, named Karla was very helpful, a little too much! When I went to pay for my purchase she started to open me a Macy's card (unrequested) and went almost all the way through before I could prevent her from opening it and charging me for my purchase. Operation of $124 reversed (number one). Then she took my card and passed it, the system was slow so she canceled the operation for 133 $ and passed the card again for $133. Last time it "finally" went through.
Fast forward a day later, I log into my account and to my surprise I see TWO charges for $133. Try to solve the problem through the phone, to no avail. They tell me that my bank has to refund me and not them since they automatically block the amount from my bank account even if the operation didn't go through. I proceed to go to my bank and ask someone to solve my problem, and the bank tells me Macy's version is not accurate and advise me to talk to a manager in store since they were the ones that charged me twice by mistake. In the store I'm handed from customer service to a person in human resources named Elena, and they tell me the same story, show me the cancelled receipt for $124 of the aborted Macy's card as if it was one of the charges on my card (both for $133) and wash their hands from me.
I must say, it doesn't take an accountant to notice something doesn't add up which Elena wasn't. But the only option that remains for me is to go to my bank for refund, which I know they'll do since they're a more serious company with their customers' money. And Macy's will have sold a business pant suit for the price of two. Bottomline: It's not Macy's fault, it's not the banks fault. It's my fault for shopping at Macy's.

I was very pleased when I received a call back within 5 minutes and was floored when she told me "the store manager goes near you on her way home and will stop by to drop off a new one and pick up the mixer with the missing parts."

I have been a Macy's credit card customer for a number of years, and had email alerts set up to tell me when I had anything owing. I only shop there every few months at random, so was used to having many months with no emails. I get a phone call from an unknown number, look it up and see people saying it is Macy's debt collection. I go online to check my account, only to see I had forgotten about a $63 charge last November. They had not sent me email alert that I had a statement with an amount owing. Then charged me late fee. Then did the same thing in December. I saw that my account had all alerts switched off. How is that possible when I have had the account for years and it was all on? I did not switch it off.
I see other people saying they have a new payment system, and I can see it looks different. So clearly the switch resulted in me having all email notifications switched off (and I was paperless so go NOTHING). I immediately paid everything owing. Then 2 days later the negative report goes on my credit score - and my score dropped 100 points!! I had an almost perfect credit score. I have many accounts all paid on time, and am disgusted that this happens over a $63 charge that I would have paid had they sent me an email like they had been for the previous 5 years. I am really tempted now to cancel my card. I am so upset.

In September 2015, I noticed some fraudulent activity on my Macy's Amex card. So I called and spent 30 minutes on hold. While I was on hold I noticed that my account showed that I owed a minimum payment on the store account. I hadn't shopped at Macy's or used the store account for at least 6 months. I finally was connected to someone and in the midst of explaining my situation, I was disconnected. I then had to call back and wait another 30 minutes for someone to get on the line and explain everything again and to add the issues now with the fraudulent charges on the store card.
I was finally able to speak to someone in the fraud department and they froze the account and said they would send me paperwork to fill it out and send it back (Another issue I had was that all the fraudulent charges were charged within a 10-day period. The charges were $2,000 over my credit limit and NO ONE from Macy's called me to verify that I was the one making these charges). It took about 3 weeks for me to receive their paperwork. I filled it out and returned it to them with the police report within a couple of days (By this time it's been almost a month since I first called them).
I never heard from the fraud department. I had to be the one to initiate all the calls, so I called a couple of times in November 2015 and then December 2015 and then in January 2016. All of those times with no solutions. They just said it was in progress. But in January 2016, I received a letter stating that the fraudulent charges on the Amex card had been removed and taken care of. So today I called about the massive balance on the store card, all of which is fraudulent charges and the interest and fees, and I was told that they never received the statement of fraud for the store charges.
Needless to say I was extremely ticked off, and I let them know that. In all of my phone calls no one has ever said that they didn't receive the statement of fraud for that account. They said that they would expedite the claim since it has been so long. I now have to send (again!) the statement of fraud for that account. This time she gave me their fax number. So you better believe that after I fax it, I will be calling them to make sure they get it. Each time I spoke to someone I let them know my frustration about the time that it's taking to resolve this issue. I understand that it takes time but at least give me the courtesy of calling me to give me some kind of update.

We have four accounts with Macy's. We have shopped there for many years and spent a good portion of our gift and clothing and homeware's dollars there for years. Last month my husband was trying to get into the website to pay some of the payments. When he spent nearly an hour trying to get in, he gave up. The next day we received a call from Macy's asking us to call back. I did so and got a woman from the Philippines that was on a bad line. I had to call back and got nearly the same--the line was a bit better. We told her that we would pay the accounts, but it would have to be after Feb. 1 because our checks came in then. She told us that we could give her the information and that the payments would be held until Feb. 16 when the next payment was due.
I asked again if I had heard the information correctly and she said yes, so I agreed. We gave her the information and I again asked to make sure that all payments would not go through until Feb. 16. The next morning we woke up to an overdrawn account with $105 in bank charges because three of the accounts payments went through. So we called (could not get anyone we could understand AT ALL), went to the store to talk to customer service (they don't have that anymore--just two telephones located between the mattresses and the elevator, one of which doesn't work), finally got a person that we could understand and she said that there was nothing that could be done until two days later when they sent the payments back from the bank.
So we left the store and went to the bank--all of our charges were reversed by the bank because it was not our fault, we borrowed money to cover everything for three days, and after more than 7 hours of actual working on this, went home. I went back to the store on my lunch hour so that I could talk to an English speaking person (a Macy's clerk told us that these phones were the only ones where you can talk to US located operators). I got a non-English person from "Offshore" and she said everything was good. I could not make her understand that it was not "good" because the money would be sent back from the bank. I asked to talk to a supervisor and she said ok but it would be a very long time. So I hung up and went back to work.
The next morning the payments had gone through again. We called customer service that morning and got someone we could not understand who said she was "offshore". So we called again to another number and got a young man who was very nice but no help--he said Macy's had changed some things and had a lot of problems. He was sorry, but there was nothing he could do. We spent more than 12 clock hours on this--waiting on the phone, bank, going to the store, etc. We are cancelling all four Macy's accounts and getting one at Dillards!

Macy's moved to a new system of receiving online payments a few months ago. This system takes customers away from Macys.com and redirects them to a different website for payments. In the past few months, each time I went to the website, and clicked on their "make payments" tab, it showed me a screen that said that I had nothing due and that my balance was 0. I assumed then that I really had nothing due and that my Macy's statement just hadn't updated. Macy's knows that there is a problem with its online payments. In fact, a few months ago, they sent an email to customers giving them 30% off Macy's merchandise because of the problems customers encountered making payments online.
When I received an email from Macy's a few days ago noting that I had $163 balance, I was shocked because I had just visited the site on Jan 1st to make payments as I always do, and was redirected to the payment system that showed a zero balance. So, I called to speak to a representative and she put me through to their technical support person. The tech support rep took me through the system and saw it was quirky and that the system was telling me that I had a zero balance. She reconnected me to their customer service person, who then gave me courtesy credits for the inaccurate late fees charged. I have uploaded some additional documents showing screenshots from Macys.com for your information.
Yesterday, I received a report from Identity Guard credit monitoring service, which I subscribe to, stating that I had one negative report from Macy's. I was shocked by that, so I called Macy's back and requested to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor failed to assign any responsibility to Macy's even though she knows that there is something wrong with their new payment system. Check my credit report, and you will see that I am a responsible customer with zero late payments and zero derogatory reports. I am a well-educated customer, PhD holder, and vice-president of a college where we teach students how to be responsible with their credit. I have been responsible with my credit and paid everything on time.
The error with Macy's is a problem with their system, which reported that I had a zero balance and nothing due. It will be unfair for them to ruin my credit over their new, quirky payment system. The supervisor argued that I should have looked at my online statement, but that means nothing if after seeing the statement and logging in to the payment tab, the system reports that I have nothing due. Note that part of the $163 balance was based on the two late fees they assessed, so it wasn't as if I shopped and forgot I shopped. I always pay even before my due date, which is always on the 12th. When the system tells me that I have zero balance and nothing due, I naturally believe that I have nothing further to do and that the statement just needs updating on Macy's end. It will be a grave injustice if my credit suffers a blow due to Macy's NEW technically unsound online payment system.
If they are willing to admit their error and offer me courtesy refunds for the late fees, which they did, why are they then unwilling to go further and admit their responsibility by making changes to my credit report to reflect that error? I hope that you will look into this and pay serious attention to the crux of the matter. Sending statements to a customer is one thing, merchants should also ensure that what displays for customers on their system is accurate, and should not punish customers for errors in their own system. Macy's new online payment system is faulty and they need to admit it, fix it, and quit passing the buck or putting the blame on customers like me, and ruining the good credit we've spent years building. Please help me fix this.

According to their records, I paid the original bill only partially. So, instead of sending me the alerts they quietly assigned the late charges fee monthly. After explaining that my impression was the balance was 0 and I am willing to pay the rest right away, they still didn't remove the charges completely. I ended up paying $15 in late fees for the Macy's amex mistake. Shame on you, big amex corporation for taking $15 from the mother of 2! No more Macy's shopping for me!

I went online to pay my balance. The new system would not take my payment. I emailed Macy's. Since I could not pay online, I made a payment by phone. My mistake, I didn't get the confirmation number. I received an email this week that my account was overdue. I have been a Macy's customer for over 28 years. I spoke to a rep who claimed my bank account number was wrong. It is the same account I have paid them with over 5 years and it has been accepted by their system. The customer service rep said "Wait I will check it out." She then put me on hold for over 10 minutes. I tried to call back only to find out they were too busy. Goodbye Macy's. You just lost a 28-year customer.

Had automatic payments set up for $25.00 per month - all was fine for 2 years, then Macy's put minimum payment up to $27.00 one month without a letter or warning, and charged a $35.00 "late fee" for the next billing period because the $25.00 that was already set up and taken out of the account was an incorrect amount. When I called, after spending a good 45min to get in touch with a real voice, I was told that "Of course, sorry, we will take that late fee off." But no, next billing period I was charged the "late fee" which had been promised to be taken off and charged only the $25.00 monthly fee - I thought - but I was charged $27.00 without knowing.
When I called about this, it was explained only then, that I was charged a late fee from last bill because I had not paid the correct amount - which was now $27.00, not $25.00 and this $35.00 late fee could not be removed before, but had to be paid first. Is this sounding like a Kafka novel? Yes, and it got worse - after refusing to pay this amount and contacting my bank to block Macy's from extracting unauthorized and unfair amounts from my bank account, I was again charged another "late fee" of $35.00 and punished with a reduction in credit limit - which reduced the credit I had already built up by now basically stealing money from me.
Yes, it is a modern-day Kafka story called Macy's - a company using predatory and deceptive business practices when charging late fees to increase their revenue - and on persons who have not been spending enough money for them either because they cannot afford to or because they choose to pay off the card slowly for whatever financial reason. Beware - be very, very careful of this Kafkaesque company's business practices.

Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever encountered. I called because I found my check had not cleared for paying my Dec bill and I wanted to let them know I was going to wait a few more days to see if cleared and if it did not I would write a new one, I was trying to avoid cancellation fees for putting a stop payment on my check and to avoid charges for a late payment.
I called the number indicated for cc questions and I got an automated system, none of the selections related to my problem. Called the store direct and got put back into the automated system. Tried again and punched a number just to try and get to a human being. Got put through to someone in another country who sounded like they were talking through 20 ft of water. Told her I wanted to speak to someone else who I could understand and she put me on hold and no one else ever came on the line so after 20 min on hold I hung up.

When I got a new card, I had to "register" it online - I was unable to. I emailed twice for assistance. The first time they sent me information about someone else's bill. The second time there was no information in the email. I was just on the phone for an hour - they had to manually add the information for the card. When I asked why I was sent someone else's information I was first met with silence. The second time I asked the customer service representative hung up the phone.

I found a fraudulent Macy's cc account on a recent copy of my credit report that would have been opened when I was 12 yrs old. The Macy's IVR phone system is horrendous. The call contained so much static that it was nearly impossible to get through the menu. When I finally did reach a representative, there was such a difficult language barrier that in an attempt to report a fraudulent account several times, she repeated back to me asking if I'd like to reopen and reactivate it. If US based companies are going to outsource their call centers, they need to be assured that their employees are capable of handling situations such as fraud.

I purchased a gift for my father; an all-clad stainless steel cookware set which included a bonus lasagna pan, oven mitts and a cookbook. The set was ordered online and shipped to a different home address than mine (as my father lives in another state). Fortunately (or unfortunately depending how you look at it), this triggered the fraud prevention at Macy's and my order was blocked. Eventually I was in touch with a Macy's representative over the phone and communicated that it was indeed me purchasing the item and to have it shipped to my father's residence. I also asked to ensure the bonus was also included as the receipt did not show the bonus item. The representative confirmed it would be included in the shipment. To my father's surprise, the bonus items were not delivered.
Both my father and I contacted Macy's customer service several times and did not receive any help in getting our bonus items. I was told they were out of stock. I asked when they would have stock and the representative was unsure. She did confirm that we would be contacted when more stock would arrive. It's been three months and no call. How can Macy's continue to promote these items on their website and not have stock? This is called FALSE ADVERTISING. This is truly unfortunate as I would have never purchased the cookware set on their own. The bonus items made it feel fair at the $700 price tag. From this experience, Macy's has lost me as a customer and my money will be spent elsewhere.

I have been attempting to contact a human being in credit customer service to correct discrepancies in my credit card accounts online. Most of the menu options do not provide access to speak to a representative. After spending 20 minutes going through options, I finally found one. I was put in a queue and 50 minute later, still no service. I have tried numerous times and days, but each time have been on hold for nearly an hour. I never have connected. It is an egregious waste of my time and totally bad customer service. The online site does not work but I cannot get someone to help me.
