Not as bad as it sounds
I was very hesitant to apply especially with my credit being at a 591 transunion and a 588 equifax. I applied online and was told that I needed to call and provide more information. I definitely thought it was a denial so I let it go a day or two. By day three I decided to call back. The lady over over the phone asked me two questions and I answered them it was pertaining to my phone number and she also asked about my social security number and after that there was a short pause in the conversation. She said after about two mins of silence there were able to approve me for a credit line of $300.

Not worth its value in plastic
Everything about this card is garbage. They started charging me these phantom $2 fees for nothing, which I had to call about to have them take it away. They even reported me to credit companies because I hadn't paid one of them on time (my fault for not checking my statement, but since I hadn't spent anything I didn't imagine I'd need to). I had to call them just to have them stop the revolving $2/monthly charges. Their website is also awful, it's broken at least half the time you need to access it.
Absolutely not worth any savings you might earn at Macys.
Stay away!
Similar experience to the other reviewers, I had no balance yet they charged me the $2 for six consecutive months (unknown to me), which resulted in lowering my credit score- actually knocking it from good to fair. I am furious!
Bad worst I ever had
I went paperless. Paid online. I would go online and pay and then put in my register. I would get a call saying it wasnt paid. In addition to late fee I started printing confirmations out because it was the only account I ever had this problem with. So I paid off the balance before the due date. 4 days after they added 2.00. Would you know months went by and no call saying it was late, no letter just kept adding 2.00 per month. Shady, bad business ethics. I just logged in to see what the limit was otherwise I would have never known. I have 100% paying ontime and this could have really screwed up my record. I wont use it again.
Very bad
Stay away from this card. They kept charging me even after closing my account.
Payments complex, but price is right
Macy's website won't allow me to make any payments. Have to call and wait on hold for ages. But Macy's has great sales, so I put up with it.
Don't fall for this trap card!
I opened this card (after much pushing by Macy's employees) solely for a large discount on a $400 Christmas purchase in November 2016. I planned to divide the total balance by 3 and pay off the balance over a 3-month span, which I did. However, this card has a sneaky little feature called the "minimum interest fee", which will add $2 to your balance every month, whether you use the card or not. I found out in April that I had a $4 balance, which surprised me, seeing as I had not used the card. Citibank, who supplies Macy's with the card, must get a kick out of messing up people's credit scores. They apply this fee monthly, which if not paid on time, results in a late fee as well, which gets reported to the bureau and lowers your score. I take my credit seriously and refuse to carry a card that costs me money (even when advertised as 'no annual fee') when I don't use it. I called Macy's customer service, paid off the fee balance and cancelled the card. I highly suggest you avoid this card unless you plan on shopping at Macy's at least once a month.
Thief
They don't know wht they r doing .. they keep charging you
Wanted to make a payment on the account, tried doing it online the system would not let me.. Tried making the payment over the phone and the agents just took me around in circles.
Second credit card open false pretenses
I've had a Macy's card for over 11 years and was told that I could use my existing card to make a purchase however the card had been deactivated apparently due to non use over a good period of time. Associate tells me no problem. She can reactivate my card. I said fine and two years later I found a second card that had been opened in my name. I do not open credit cards in order to receive discounts particularly when I already have a credit card with a particularly company as was the case here. I surely don't need two.
Macy's ripping off credit card customers
I have had a Macy's CC for over 30 years but will be cancelling shortly. On numerous occasions after paying the card in full well before the due date I have been hit with a $2.00 fee. When I call customer service I am informed that that is minimum interest for the month. I have tried to tell customer service that this contradicts the information on the back of the statement I am told that I am not correct but they will take the 2.00 fee off bill. I did find the mininum interest statement on line but it does not appear anywhere on the billing statement. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CARD
