Macy's Department Store
Gaithersburg, MD Gift Card Rip-off

January 3, I went to Macys in Gaithersburg, MD to use my Gift Card I got for Christmas to make a purchase. A few days before; being a GOOD customer of Macys, they sent me a 20% card that could be used to make a purchase at their store beginning January 3.

I walked around the store and decided to purchase 3 sweaters. The total came to over $56.00 after applying my 20% discount. I handed my gift card to the clerk who told me that because I used my 20% discount I couldnt pay with my gift card.

No where is it stated on the gift card or on SIGNS in the store at check-out that a customer cannot pay with a Gift Card if they use a coupon. All I was trying to do was get the best price on the items I selected and as a GOOD customer of Macys who would have thought that I couldnt pay with a Gift Card. After all this is cash that Macys has already RECEIVED. But there is the GIFT! It belongs to Macys and since nearly 40% of people never use their gift cards this is just PLAIN CASH in the coffers for them.

Now I can use my Gift Card, but I cannot expect to get the lowest price for an item. No sir Macys want to be sure that a Gift Card only entitles the recipient to what they call a FAIR PRICE, even if means other people can get the same item for a cheaper price in the SAME STORE!

This is a TOTAL RIP-OFF!!!
