I had 2 credit cards scammed back in 2016 and I have a 733 credit score and Macy's brought my Macys credit card limit from 3600 to 100.00 and 6 years later they still wont increase my card yet I spent 1,000.00 on my AMEX at their store the other day. Their products are nice but their credit dept. is rude and they suck!

Other dept stores have approved me.

I had a Macy's account before they even issued cards. I have shopped in a store, by telephone and in more recent years online. Never ever had a problem of any kind. Returns are easy if necessary and almost immediately credited to your account. I have the Macy's AMEX card now which I upgraded from the store card that I used for years. If you carry a balance on your card the interest rates are high but I normally pay mine when due or within 90 days so that is not an issue. Overall I love this store and always have. Since I no longer live near a physical location the card makes it easy to shop plus the rewards are decent too and you get special offers on a regular basis.

I love this card! Once I found out you can request a credit increase every 30 days I've been more in love...lol. I first had the store credit card and then after some months they automatically upgraded me to the Macy's American Express. That card helped me out with my car repairs due to the credit limit they offered me at $1200. Just make your payments on time and they treat you right. I pay off the card the month I use it. You just have to be smart about your credit.

Donot ever get furniture with Macys Credit Card 12-month financing. When they offered 12-month financing with no interest, it sounded a pretty good deal but what happened was my credit score dropped by 65 points in just 1 month. Even a new home mortgage didnot drop so much points. It looks like my credit utilisation went from 2,3% to 20%. It dropped so much in 1 month. Building a credit takes a long time. 12-month financing is a pretty bad deal for Credit.

I got this card only to help build my credit score quickly. This card is an excelent and one of the best ways to build your credit if used properly. It is a revolving line of credit which actually lets you submit for credit line increases very easily online. I bumped up my credit line every month or so by 2k and once 5k. Pay it off early, don't use up more than 10 percent of the credit available and you can increase your credit score pretty quickly. Its called maintaining a good credit to debt ratio.

I have had this card for a year. I have used it, paid it off, used it paid it off. Actually my card has been at a 0 balance for the past few months. Recently they lowered it to $300 because I made some purchases (RV and Auto) which lowered my score. Very rude customer services. Oh BTW, in 30 years I have never had this happen. I also have AMEX cards that are double what Macy's was giving me through AMEX so I call BS on everything.

In the process of rebuilding credit. I have 4 credit cards, 2 of those are with First Premier in which I used to rebuild credit and of course Capital One. The other is through a bank and neither of them have high credit limits. I pay each bill on time each month plus I make an additional payment on each card each month. I've always wanted a Macy's card because of the benefits. I only plan to use it very rarely and specifically for the discounts and pay the balance off within 25 - 60 days.

I have the the store card $20k CL and the Macys Amex $25k CL.
They send lots of coupons monthly for both cards. Coupons are helpful but exclude a lot of items.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS FAKE AMERICAN EXPRESS! THEY ARE NOT AMERICAN EXPRESS!!! THEY CHARGED ME $2000 WHILE THE MARCGANT SAYS THE CHARGE HAS TO BE REMOBVED....!!!
Macys Company is so irresponsible and unprofessional in its credit card services and also tricky to fool people like me to use their macys cards in different places while this company never provides a decent support and customer service to them. When this credit card was suggested to me by one of the agents at one of your stores, they lied to me and fooled me by saying that the card I was going to receive was an Amex credit card which is %100 false because there is no card by this name in the American express official website. It seems to me that Macys has just paid an amount of money to American Express to get the permission to put that logo but your customers should know that this card is no way considered an Amex Card. In fact, I have put my trust in American Express NOT Macys but your people tricked me in the store. Now I can vividly see the difference between the card that I had expected to receive and the actual card that I am holding . I got ripped off by this company but not being able to remove a charge of $2000 that google adwords stole from me while promising that they would reverse the charge within a week in December 2016 but it never happened until this moment. And now after 6 months from the date that opened a dispute on that amount, Macys credit card company sent me a letter that I would be held responsible to pay $2070 including the original amount plus interest on it ! THAT IS RIDICULOUS! STAY AWAY MACYS COMPANY!!!!

I love the red card! I can call every 2 months and they have no problem with giving me a CLI. I opened this card on 11/15 with only $100 available credit and a 721 TU score which was a surprise. But the increases paid off well with on time payments and paying more than the minimum payment. Remember! Always keep a small balance if you want that nice CLI.

They closed out my account five times without my consent citing a lack.of use or low fico score. The ironic part is that my credit has never been more then 700. They originalky gave me $700 in cl. Over the yrs they declined the limit to $100. Mind you Ive made several pos/ charge transactions. Paid on time and took no more then 3 months to pay off entirety. Im still being denied increase 3 yrs later. I may just close it. The rep states its both internal and external factors that are preventing an increase. Yet my mother has over $50k in medical debt a fico as low as mine and has a combination total credit of $4K with 4 cards one being a bank card. However she doesnt live in CA where she was denied often prior to moving to NV where she obtained her current credit with no issue. I wonder if the credit bureaus score differently based on the state you live in since cost of living may or may not be higher or lower?

I was hesitant about applying for fear I wouldn't get approved and get another ding on my credit history for even trying. I read the reviews here and saw a few people had a credi score less than mine so I went in to the store and applied. Very happy I did! Macy's is one of my favorite stores so this is awesome! Also they were having a 20% off for cardholders and if you gave a 3.00 donation for Veterans you hit an additional 25% off! I racked up!!!

And now there is no one to help us,totally helpless as we were going to buy new house because of this card now we can't.Customer care is horrible.

Not sure what my credit score was when I applied in 2010 for the Macy's Star rewards card but I was approved 300. A year later I requested for a credit increase and was approved 300. Six months later they increased it from 600 to 1200. 2015 they increased it to 1500 and now my Credit limit is 1600..
As long you pay on time every month and pay your outstanding in a timely manner, they will increase your credit limit for you.. Also because I'm a elite member I paid my bill late one month and called customer service and they waived my late fee.. I love Macy's and their rewards.. Coupons are my fave..

I'm just a student working part time while in college so I don't make very much . I went to Macy's to buy a dress for a Christmas party. The sign up was a pretty quick process . I just selected store card, and I got approved for $800 . My purchase after all the savings only came out to about $47 dollars . I just got my bill 2 days ago and I got a 10 dollar new account discount so I only owed $38 dollars. Then I bought a christmas gift for a friend on my card as well. So I owed $136 and just payed off this afternoon.
I don't typically spend more than $100 at a time anyway so I doubt I'll ever use that much . I only signed up for the card because I shop at Macy's a lot and I saved a lot on my purchase . I don't even own any other credit cards I'll see how this goes .
I'm resubmitting this because my first review had some sort of glitch. My score has dropped 14 points since they did a hard inquiry so now I'm at 667. I'm hoping this will build my credit back up .

Due to my major illness and the job loss of my spouse. We filed Chapter 7 in 2009, which was discharged in 2010. My Macy's card limit was reduced from $2000 to $100. I made purchases and paid in full every month for 6 months. After that my limit was restored to $2000. Now 5 years later my limit is $6000. Macy''s customer outside the U.S. Is a bit lacking. However this account has helped with the rebuilding of my credit. The account has been opened since 2001.

Been rebuilding my credit for the last year; been doing excellent with Capital One and Barclay Mastercards. Recently got approved for Walmart with $1,200 and Amazon with $900 which after only three months got bumped to $1,600 (paying off every month and only spending like below 20%). Tried last week with Old Navy and got $300 instantly approved online. Tried my luck once more with Macy's and also got approved for $300; then I got email asking to call them to activate; after answering two security questions (from my credit history) got bumped to $600. Don't lose hope. It takes time and a little discipline but you can get there - if I did, you can too.

This card is ridiculous! Do not apply if you do not have a great memory to pay it off right away! Besides the super high interest, their call center have the worst customer service! I was out of country for 2+ months, all major credit card company are willing to remove the late fees, this blood sucking monster only willing to remove $18 while charging me $105 for late fee! BTW, my outstanding balance was only $40, you see how non sense this is! You know what they say? It is your fault, and you need to take the consequence. OK~ Cut the card right after the call!

I have tax liens and collections on my account as well as lates for a few cards from about 7 years ago. I lost job and stopped paying my credit cards to try to keep my house. The foreclosure was taken off of my credit due to unfair lending practices. My credit score on credit karma is showing 539 and 520 and that is not correct. I did receive a rejection from Barclays May 2015 and my Transunion score was 635 so Credit Karma is off by over 100 points.

I have a 700+ credit score and make $85K+ a year in a job I've had for over 12 years. Recently purchased a new home 8 months ago and a new car 4 months ago both at 3% or less yet I was declined for a Macy's card??? I rarely shop at Macy's but was attempting to get the card for the discount towards a gift and much to my surprise was turned down. I understand the possibility that my new loans changed my debt to equity ratio but to not get approved for a dept store card despite my level of income and that I always make my payments on time leaves me stunned.
How strict are their standards?

My EQ score was 680. I applied online and got a $100 credit line. Given that I sometimes make large purchases in Macys, I could have used a larger limit. After paying in full for about a year, I got the CLI up to $500.

Applied in the store and got approved. I have a few baddies in my CR so I guess I cannot really complain about the low credit lines that I got. Macys will give you a line for the store and if your score is good enough, you will get approved for an actual credit card as well.

Got a $500 CL with a 690 TU score. That is enough for me since I usually just shop at Macys during the holiday season and maybe about 4 times a year. Never needed more than that amount. Still I've come close a couple of times and I do have to watch my limits.

I applied when my TU score was about 620 and I got a $300 CL. That was enough for me as I use it maybe 6 times a year at the store. The key to this card is to always pay in full since the interest rates is not exactly consumer friendly!

Had a decent score of over 700 (can't remember which bureau). Got a CL of $3000, which was nice. But the CS is really bad and you really have to be careful about paying your bills in full. Their website and online payments are not really good nor sophisticated.

I thought my 700 plus score was decent and was rather surprised that firstly, I did not get the Amex version (the proper cc). Secondly, you would think that the lines should be larger given my score and no baddies on my CR!

I shop at Macys a few times a year. I went through the last two years trying to rebuild my credit after a divorce. Prior to this card, I had a Cap One secured with a $300 line and a Orchard Bank with also a $300 line. I was surprised to get only a $100 line. But with no annual fee compared to my other cards, I guess it was not such a bad deal.

After reading the comments here, I was quite surprised to find that my CL was 600 despite my score. I was expecting $100 or $200. My cards before I got his was the Credit One and Wells Fargo secured. I paid in full every month and my utilization was very low. I think this is key to my CL amount.

You would think that with a 700+ score that I would be approved for the Amex version. But despite nothing bad in my CR, I only got approved for the store card! (And I have got a Discover!). To add insult to injury, my CL is only $300. Surely dsnb can do better than that. Since I shop about 3 times a year at the big M, I think I'll just cancel this card after a year or so.

I went to the store and applied for what I thought was the Macys Amex card. But I was only approved for this version. I thought it was a mistake and asked the rep to check. She said she could do nothing about it. I later found out that when you apply, you are actually considered for both and if you are not approved for the Amex card then you will get the store card. If you are approved for the Amex card, you can choose to either take that or the store card. I have a Cap One with $1500 CL. I only charge $200 a month to that. The low utilization probably helped me get approved. And going by the CLs given here, it looks like that helped as well.

I got this card and got an initial CL of $100. I shop at Macys about once every 2 months and put about %$50 to $70 on the card at once. However, I pay in full every month. After about a year and a half, I thought I was late and called CSR to check if online payment went through. It did and I was given a CLI - bumped up to $1000. That was a nice surprise. Guess I might use the 15% discounts on a nice Polo RL jacket!
