After my room door closed, I escaped through a window and ran straight to Macy's. I've been a longtime shopper there and I've read so many positive things on the boards about their rewards program.
One of my favorite parts of the store is the perfume counter. I really have a weakness for expensive perfume. Gucci, Dolce, and Prada -- Oh My! I ended up spending way too much on perfume and then the lady at the counter asked if I wanted to apply for a store card. As I wavered and tried to recall why I was admitted to the Center (um so I wouldn't app, duh!), the lady mentioned the 20% off I would get on today's purchase and that she would give me a bonus 20%. I relented and apped for the card and got another bottle of perfume. (Darn, she was good!)
I was approved on the spot for $600 so at least it wasn't a total waste. Does this indiscretion mean I will be evicted from the Center?

I'm afraid so. Congrats on the new card, but the staff has already been informed. 
I got 20% discount on the spot and the other 20% will be reflected on my statement (supposedly).

What can I do so that the Center will take me back?? Is this "zero tolerance" policy new? Whatever happened to second chances?

The zero tolerance policy has been in effect from day one. Just ask our founder, who banished himself and has not even given himself a second chance.
Pssst....I agree with FM above.
Oh well, at least I smell really good as I roam the streets free. And yes, the discount was nice. In fact, the 20% new account discount is good for two days. I think I may take another spin around Macy's tomorrow after work.
