Whoopsie! This was bound to happen in light of their recent BK filing. Same thing happened with a few other retailers backed by Comenity... Elder-Beerman/Bonton stores, for instance.

Re: Barneys New York Credit Card out of Market!

Mine was $30K. Oh well, these things were expected for some CC programs given the state of retailers in this day in age.

This is likely going to impact those folks that relied or used these retail TLs as some sort of padding. Just goes to show you... here today, gone tomorrow! 😜

 

Interestingly enough, although the account is technically 'closed', the available credit still displays as if it were open ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is one reason I'm glad that I never got caught up in Store cards. Not saying Big Banks can't fail, but retailers are likely to go BK before most banks.

 

For those who have several versus Bank cards, this could be a blow to their TL's and hurt utilization.

Same, they used to have free valet with your card and a free drink ( wine for me pls) when dining/ lunch and pay with barneys.

Just an overpriced clothing store, seriously $100 and over for a T-Shirt......SMH.

 

They needed those lines for people to use to keep themselves in business.
