Comenity cards and recent frustrations

I have 2 cards with them (Bed Bath & Beyond / Overstock). I was lucky that I paid off my acccount before the website issues and there was no impact for making a payment. Now the 2 months and going w/o reporting. Anyone going to close their cards due to this? Thoughts? I’m keeping them but no interest in using them at this point out of frustration.

Re: Comenity cards and recent frustrations

No I won't close my Zales card, but I'm definitely not getting anymore Comenity cards, nor am I using my Zales card anymore. I'll just pay off my promo balance and leave it open for padding.

They'll hopefully get their system and rebranding sorted. There's no need to close. Take advantage of the card perks, just PIF before statement close.

Personally I find their payment websites the easiest to use when it comes to simplicity. Too bad I don't really use the (2) that I have.

Yes, pretty much exactly how I'm treating the situation as well.

Re: Comenity cards and recent frustrations

I got an email a few days ago...Screenshot_20220903-211230_Gmail.jpg

 

I'm like **bleep**, I use it every 6 mos to keep buffer alive, 27k limit. So I quickly logged in and still said open. 

 

I then purchased $6 socks to test it, went through fine. Called them they said they sent a lot of emails and cards out and most accounts were closed, but nm I see yours is still open.

 

2 days later, I get this...

What in the world is going on at this bank?

 

Closing new home build in few months, don't want any credit changes right now.

Sounds like Comenity still can't get it together.
