Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Shutdown Risk Triggers
Returned payments, account inactivity, suspicious purchase patterns, abuse of Star Rewards program, excessive cash advances (Amex version)
Cliff Effect Rules
The Macy's card program consists of two tiers — the open-loop Macy's American Express® Card and the store-only Macy's Credit Card; holding the store-only card does not permanently block access to the Amex tier, as creditworthiness improvements may allow an upgrade over time. There is no documented cross-product bonus restriction between the Macy's card and other Citi Retail Services co-branded cards. Star Rewards status (Silver, Gold, Platinum) is determined by annual Macy's spend using the card and resets annually — status earned in one year does not carry over unless the cardholder re-qualifies.
International Friendly
May have limitations for international use.
Additional Issuer Rules
The Macy's Credit Card welcome offer (30% off macys.com purchases on the first day, up to $100 savings) is available to new cardmembers only and is applied as a discount at time of purchase on the day of account approval — prior cardmembers are not eligible for the new cardmember discount. Citibank Retail Services does not publish a specific card velocity rule equivalent to Chase 5/24, but community data indicates Citi may decline applicants who have opened multiple Citi Retail Services accounts recently. Applicants are automatically considered for both the Macy's American Express® Card (open-loop) and the store-only Macy's Credit Card in a single application, with the tier determined by creditworthiness — applicants cannot select their preferred card version.
