Comenity Bank Reviews

They financed my hearing aids. Gave me a payment amount and I set it for autopay. Without any prior notice they increased my payment amount. When the auto-payment was short I was hit with late fees. They charged $40 per month for 3 months before I looked at the statement. I asked for a credit they only returned $40. There should be a penalty for them.

This bank does not expedite credit fraud investigation reported by credit card owners. They have taken 4 months on my credit investigation and instead of investigating in a timely manner they kept charging me for the disputed charges and late fees, reduced my credit limit from $5,000 to $750. My original dispute investigation is still not resolved. BTW I was fraudulently charged on another card for similar charges from similar vendor and that bank resolved it immediately! I did get a new card as requested but still no settlement of fraudulent charges.

I only have a credit line of $300. I payed this account down to a zero balance and made NO PURCHASES after the balance was paid. I was shocked to receive a text reporting delinquency of 3 months. Once customer service was contacted I was told that I was 3 months behind on payments for interest and LATE FEES after a zero balance. WTH????? The late fees were removed and I payed the $12 in interest. As a travel nurse making exceptional income, I will NEVER use this card again nor will I accept a credit line increase.

WORST BANK EVER!!!!!!!!!

On Dec 13 I called their customer service line and asked the rep if I pay the balance today would there be any additional interest added to the account. They assured me that the final balance was the final balance. I also told them when I hit send on the payment that I wanted to close the account. Today I am looking at a bill for 42 more dollars. This company is a complete rip off and I would never recommend them to anyone.

Comenity Bank is a real life nightmare. No customer service skills, no resolutions to problems, a website that doesn't work and the inability to properly handle payment transactions. Move away from this bank as quickly as possible.

That one star is really a zero! I'm 70, I was self employed for 35 years. I know how to treat customers, and how I want to be treated. I've had AAA Visa for 21 years, until today, you all know the problems. I have been a member of AAA for 30 years.

I feel AAA did me wrong by turning the credit card over to such a poorly run, and understaffed bank. They had to know but didn't care because I'm sure palms were greased, and greed took over. I'm sorry I renewed my membership several months ago, but after 34 years of membership, it won't happen again, they caused our problems.

I had some fraud on the card through Facebook. They handled that fine, but it took me MONTHS to get a new card. In the meantime, paid the account off and the full payment posted 6 DAYS before my due date. They are now claiming I owed additional interest (and now a late fee) because I didn't make a payment on time (I knew I owed them nothing, why would I check for an outstanding balance when I checked the balance the day before the payment was due and it was ZERO?). Customer service refuses to understand what I am telling them and just sends scripted responses that do not address the complaint that NO INTEREST can be due on a zero balance. STAY away from them. They are crooks. I think they just string people along until they give up and pay it. They haven't met me. I will be filing a complaint with the feds. I've won before, I will again.

If I could give zero stars I would! My interactions with them have been nightmares. Long wait times, talking to 2 different people and getting 2 different stories. They made a huge error posting my over the phone payment, leaving me with $30 available credit. My payment was over their electronic payment threshold. Charged me a late fee, interest, returned check fee, $9 service charge (which I was not informed of) and sent my credit rating from Excellent to Good. I had to fight to get them to refund all fees and interest, and the interest is still shown on this month's bill.

After using this card for a year, my rewards value is $1.12, because none of my points from BoA have carried over yet. Plus, they took away the extra value reward for using your rewards for a payment voucher when booking a trip through AAA.

I have been asked by a AAA representative to please keep using the card. Well, I've thought about it and no I will not use this card.

Finally, their customer service representatives were terrible. They did not even try to help me and left me with $30 credit for 3 days!

AAA switched to this company-try to follow up with Comenity Bank after receiving a letter that my due date had changed by a phone call but if I wanted to speak with a live voice would be charged $9.00 - what the heck was AAA thinking(not). Still awaiting current bill in mail. Will not setup any online service with this company (Comenity), in fact will stop using this card. AAA credit card service has lost a customer.

AAA changed my VISA from Bank of America to Comenity and its horrible. AAA responded to my complaint to the BBB in a professional manner but I got a letter from Comenity that was arrogant, obnoxious and a lie as far as their responsibility for unjustly charging me with late fees. Stay away from this bank that at the very least is incompetent with non existing customer support and whose business practices border on unethical.

You can’t make online payments. The card is a scam. Horrendous.

Our AAA visa card was sold to this horrible organization and we had problems using it form the beginning. The card actually caused so many problems at the SAM's club gas pumps they refuse to accept it anymore.

We tried to report the problem and they swore there was no problem. Then I got a letter from the president of Comenity, Bruce Bowman, to say oopsie for the widespread problem. I called again and had a sour old man say that I had no account with them because it was closed by Bank of America on Sept. 3 before Comenity took over in October and I never had an account with them.

How he could he straight faced say that when I have cards, a letter from their president, and a statement from THEM. Funny, we paid a bill to Comenity with charges on it from September 18, 22, 29 and Oct. 13. Fraud? I am beginning to suspect this is a Fraudulent organization, If they are legitimate, they will call me. Ethel C. Brown in Ky.

AAA VISA through Bank of America changed hands in October 2022, and now Comenity is my VISA account holder. Today I received a call from Comenity telling me that my payment is late and that I should at least make a minimum payment. I told the Comenity representative that my payment was sent and my credit union states that my check was cashed one day prior to the stated due date. He insisted that I send a minimum payment anyway. I told him that Comenity already has my full payment.

Frustrated, I called Comenity and spoke to another representative who told me that checks (Comenity does not accept electronic transfers from my credit union) take between 7-10 days for processing and that I must account for that processing time so that my check arrives 7-10 days before my payment due date. She did waive the late fee this time but I truly do not feel comfortable dealing with Comenity and will close this account as soon as possible.

20 year member of BJ's. I always renewed membership at the local store in Natick, MA. In 2021 I went to store to renew my membership. They talked me into obtaining a BJ's credit card. I applied for it at the store. The credit card never arrived. 12 months later I received my 1st credit card statement in May 2022 with my BJ's membership renewal charge on it.

I phoned Comenity Bank C/S and told them the story. They told me that they would take care of it. I told them to close the account. I went to local BJ's and renewed the membership. I expected the 2nd statement from Comenity to have a zero balance. I keep getting monthly statements from Comenity and they keep charging me late fees and interest.

As of Oct. 16, 2022 they say it owe them $160.00.......all late fees and interest. I have NEVER USED the card because I never received it. Mulitple times I have spoken to the local BJ's and they refer me to the bank. On 11/15/22 BJ's finally told me that they returned the $110.00 to Comenity on 6/29/2022.

On 11/15/22 I phoned Comenity and they could not confirm receiving the $110.00 and they transferred me to BJ's C/S. I keep getting passed back and forth. 2 plus hours on the phone today I I got no where. Comenity Bank operates worse than you would expect if you were dealing with a third world county bank.

DO NOT TAKE OUT A STORE CREDIT CARD IF THE BANK INVOLVED IS COMENITY BANK.

Is there a zero rating? Their website for the past few months is consistently down, and credit card payments cannot be made. As their website is down, they are making harassing phone calls.

This is a nightmare & will destroy my credit. To date I never received a credit card or statement. I have called twice, takes about 1-2 hrs each time. I’m not speaking to a person in US. Each time I’m told they will send me a new card, meaning I will be issued 3 cards I guess. I can’t pay my balance without my account number. On phone I’m told I can pay them for an extra fee. I don’t think this is legit bank & they have all our info. Now I just want to pay my bill by cashiers check & be done with them which will also hurt my credit. But I don’t know how.

Transferred by AAA from Bank of America to Comenity. Bad customer service- I scheduled automatic payments and nothing has been taken out of my account. 3 calls with customer service later, they tell me there is no issue, that the payment was made and there is a delay on the portal, and that they payment made was for double what it was supposed to be. None of this is true as my bank states that Comenity never pulled an ACH request.

AAA issued me this card without my approval, then I canceled the account without activating the card. This was the beginning of a huge mess with nobody answering the phone. Tried to complain to AAA and couldn't get through to the right people there either. Stay away from this horrible bank and from AAA too.

I realize that the Comenity Bank/AAA Credit card is new and therefore there are going to be problems. I don't know if this was planned by Comenity to force you to do everything on line or not, but when you do call their phone number, be prepared for long hold times and difficult to understand operators. (It seems they are located off-shore in the Philippines.) Last week when I was getting nowhere fast, I asked for the operator's supervisor, she tried three times failing each time. Today I had a problem with my phone numbers (they wanted me to update them when no update was required) and after three attempts to update, I called them to complain. She said basically, not to worry she'd take care of it. She took care of it all right, she entered my mobile number in under miscellaneous, so once again I was prompted to update my numbers.

I'm currently seeking an attorney to file a lawsuit against Comenity bank/bread financial. I have received several call backs and I'm just deciding how far I'm willing to travel to start my paperwork!

Do not do business with this credit card company...They are already being sued multiple times!
