Is Comenity No Longer issuing Simply Be Cards?

My wife has had a Simply Be card for a couple years now. She logged in yesterday because she made a purchase and wanted to confirm her available credit and saw this message on the Comenity site "Thank you for your interest in the Simply Be Credit Card program. We have not been accepting applications since 3/19/19. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. Have questions? Please contact Customer Care at 1-855-334-3660 (TDD/TTY: 1-888-819-1918) and we will be happy to help you." So we went to Simply Be site and there is no application. Does anyone know if Comenity is ending their relationship with Simply Be or vice versa? Maybe they could be selling the portfolio?

They are still managing and servicing the CC portfolio, but they stopped taking new applications as of early 2019. It does not appear that any discussions to divest the CC portfolio is on the immediate horizon.

I just got a notice in the mail that my Simply Be card will be shut down, all will be, after Feb. 3 2020. I guess maybe Brexit is causing issues with their British stock? 🤔😳
But it shouldn't hurt if they close your account in good standing *I hope*. 😀👍

I also received a letter saying all SimplyBe accounts will be closed as of 2/3/2020.
