American Eagle Outfitters™ Credit Card Reviews

Had this card for almost one year, until I went to use it and was told my account had been canceled. I received no news of this, never missed a payment, and after every purchase I always brought the balance back to 0. When I called to ask the reasoning (because it is a credit card and will be on your credit score!) they told me they did not know why... very strange and not worth it!

This is the second credit card I ever got and it wasn't a good choice. I had for a while and was doing great paying it off monthly. I came in to some hard times and had to put a bigger balance on it and took out a cash advance. Now the interest is so high that my extremely high monthly payments don't even make a dent in the balance. Also, I have asked for my PIN number which they said they send through the mail and have never received it. I called to ask for a payment exstension and customer service literally told "no have a great day". Didn't even try to help me out at all. 

I had the card for a full year. I never missed a payment. I used the card frequently, then paid it off. My limit was never increased even with a request after probably 8 months of being a good customer. The last time I paid my bill down to 0, I received a letter explaining that they had cancelled my card. I still have no idea why. Very disappointing. I have excellent payment history on my credit. Very strange. I won't be shopping with aeo anymore.

One year later my limit dropped from 280 to 140. Not worth the trouble! Jeans are made of cheap material and fit has gone down hill!

"The interest rate in non-negotiable." That just says it there. My interest rate is 24%. Way too high!!! Do not get it! Go to capital one instead.

This was my first credit card and also the worst card I've ever had. I've owned it for about 5 years (I'm only keeping it because it's my oldest account amd boosts my credt score). The interest rate is extremely high (22.99% or higher) and there seems to be no way to get them to lower it. There are no rewards other than the points to get a discount at AE.

If you haven't applied fot one, keep away from it. Nothing special about this card. Not as many deals and discount as Macy. Not as much cash back rewards as Discover or Chase. Not even many discounts in store. The benefit I got from this card didn't worth a hard pull on my credit. I certainly learnt a lesson from this experience.

The sales girl told me it won't affect my credit score since there's no anuual fee. I felt fooled after I found the credit inquiry after a month! Also there are some some promised cash rewards if you use the card to purchase in and outside of AEO. I made the purchase but never get any rewards. I called the customer service and it took so long to get to talk to a real person. I told him I wanted to close the account. He just answered ok you are all set and hang up. Not even a "thank you". Looks like they don't care about customers. Perhaps they already know why people are closing out the account!

So disappointed. Never be tempted to the open account promotions. By the way, they only offer a 15%. Even Macy offers a 20%. Think before you leap.

My first time with Synchrony, I tried to enter for 10 YEARS and finally did it!!!  I apply online and the system give me the message "you're almost done, we need more information. Call us within 48 hours". I call the next morning, talk to the CSR and she put me on hold 2 minutes.  Then she come back and say: Congratulations you are approved, your CL is $150 and your card will arrive in the mail within 7-10 days!! Very low CL but happy for the entrance to SYNCHRONY with 569 Credit Karma Score/ 671 Synchrony Bank Mail Letter.

I had a mjaor issues with Expedia charging me for serivces that I had never received and they refused to refund the money. I don't know how that is possibly legal, but that is another story. I called American Eagle Credit Card services and not only did they help me through the entire process, but they took such a painful process off of my hands and took care of the enire issue. The benefits of this card are amazing! I have many credit cards, including USAA, and this by far takes the cake for the best card. So satisfied with this company.
