Black Friday Panic at Macy's: People Report Credit Card System Outage (fastcompany.com)

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the damn-it dept.

An anonymous reader shares a report: Macy's might have celebrated an increase in share price on Black Friday, but it seems like the retailer will end the day with a lot of lost sales. Many of its customers recently took to Twitter to complain that its credit card machines are down, and that they can only pay with cash.

    Why would you assume that a credit card purchase is for the loan?

    I get 2% cash back, and price protection for 60 days.

    That means if they do better sales in January (likely), I get the discount, and it's easier than dealing with various stores.

    Between the two, I save about $300-400/year, and 200 of it is zero effort.
