Feel free to call and let us know!   I cannot imagine getting any real information about this from a CSR, apart from something fairly meaningless like "discussions are taking place"

They closed my account last month with $16,500.00 of credit limit. I was bummed about that since the wife like's buying stuff there.

Any good alternatives to them?

SOAB...

Just bought from them last week. I was "due" a CLI on my card today based on the pattern of them I've been getting, and was wondering why there was no luv button. 

That's a $10,500 TL down the drain

Yeah, Walmart.  They sell most of the exact same items/brands for less.  The only great thing about Wayfair was this card...along with the occassional deal.  You gotta search those killer deals out though, it's not like you were shopping for that particular item but it was a too good to pass up type thing. Too bad!  I noticed that the  button is gone from mine and dh's accts.  

ETA: maybe Overstock will be the Alternative.  I'll have to check it out a little more.

Yep, sad.  This was a favorite tl and a great grower.  Would love to know why this tl tanked.

You and me both. I bought $650 worth of stuff last week, and was looking at another ~$1000 buy in the next 3-4 weeks. I'm not happy to lose such a large tradeline (my second largest), but I'm also not happy to lose the ability to finance at 0% for the very regular buying I do with them.

Build.com has good lighting, but it can be a nuisance if you need to return anything.

I got outdoor furniture from Ashley.

Etsy has a lot of nice soft goods.

Walmart's subsidiary Hayneedle has an attractively dysfunctional website at times. I entered in a 10% off coupon that somehow gave me 60% off. $800 pretax became $320.

@Anonymous  did you see the Human Trafficking Conspiracy Theory?   Profit up, though temporary probably, and then this conspiracy....idk

Yeah I did hear about it. Seemed AWFULLY far-fetched. I can't imagine there was enough credence given to that to cause the bank-retail relationship to tank.
