Charonh, I used to shop at Macy's a lot before I turned 18. But now that I have seperated my needs from my wants, I'm on a tight budget but I am hoping to see my current $2,300 CL increase to $3,000 in December. :cheesing:

HJM331 they sure do, which I plan on trying to take advantage of next month. I will keep you posted. Also, I thought I posted it in my original post, but yes you do have to spend an annual amount to reach and attain different card levels: gold/$500; platinum/$1000; black (elite) $2500. Hope this helps you guys:cheesing:.

Cireone, Macy's issues different cards at higher levels based on how much you spend annually. I don't know what those tiers are off the top of my head but I can definitely research them and post them here if I find anything related to your question.

I've had my macy's card since 2006 and I love it, especially since I've reached the black level where I receive 18 free services (gift wrap, free shipping, etc.). They always send discount coupons and give you opportunities to earn more rewards on various days throughout the year. They also are usually pretty liberal with credit lines once you've built a relationship with them, which helps with your overall utilization percentage on your credit report. At one time I had the visa, but I closed it, because the APR was just ridiculous and I was not as disciplined then, had I'd been, I would have kept it open and just not use it. Just don't keep a large balance on it or pay it off quickly if you do and you'll be good to go.

You live and you learn.:cool:

I hear that based on our spnding profile, Macys will bump you up to the Gold and then the Black card. Is it true and hpw does it work???? DO I have to by a certain amount of merchandise in a specific time period or does it count since the opening of the account????

What no Brut Cologne, guess thats old school.:innocent: Macys doesnt do good here in Chicago, they took over Marshall Fields, big no no. I do agree with Eric it gives you insight to sales that may not be advertised.
