Where to send a Macy's credit card payment
You can pay your Macy's credit card bill online through your account, by phone, by mail, or in person at a Macy's store. The fastest route is the online portal at macys.com — log in to your account, find the payment section, and enter the amount you want to pay. You'll see the payment post within one to two business days.
If you prefer to speak with someone, call the customer service number on the back of your Macy's card. A representative can take your payment over the phone using a bank account or debit card. Payments made by phone typically post within one business day.
For mail payments, write a check or money order and send it to the address printed on your monthly statement. Include your account number on the check. Mail payments take seven to ten business days to reach Macy's and post to your account, so send them early if you're near your due date.

- Online payments through macys.com post within one to two business days and are the fastest way to pay.

- Mail payments take seven to ten business days, so send them at least two weeks before your due date to avoid late fees.

- Your due date and minimum payment appear on your monthly statement and in your online account.
Setting up automatic payments
Macy's allows you to set up automatic payments from your bank account through your online account. Log in, go to the payment settings, and choose whether you want to pay the full balance, the minimum payment, or a fixed amount each month. You can select the date the payment should post each month.
Automatic payments remove the risk of missing a due date and incurring late fees. If your balance changes month to month, you can adjust the automatic payment amount or pause it at any time through your account settings. Make sure your bank account has enough funds on the scheduled payment date, or the payment may fail and trigger an overdraft fee from your bank.
What happens if you miss a payment
If your payment doesn't arrive by the due date shown on your statement, Macy's will charge a late fee. The amount varies but typically ranges from $25 to $40 for the first late payment. Your interest rate may also increase if you miss a payment by 60 days or more.
A missed payment will show up on your credit report and can lower your credit score. The impact is larger the longer the payment stays unpaid. If you know you'll miss a due date, call the customer service number on your card before the date passes — representatives sometimes can work with you on timing or discuss hardship options.
Paying more than the minimum
Your monthly statement shows a minimum payment, but you can pay any amount higher than that without penalty. Paying more than the minimum reduces the interest you'll owe, since interest is calculated on your remaining balance. If you pay the full balance each month, you won't owe any interest at all.
Many cardholders pay the full balance when they receive their statement to avoid interest charges. Others pay a fixed amount each month that's higher than the minimum. Either approach works — the key is paying more than the minimum if you can, because the minimum is designed to keep you paying interest for as long as possible.

Disputing a charge or payment issue
If you see a charge on your statement that you don't recognize, or if a payment you made didn't post correctly, contact Macy's customer service. Have your statement and any payment confirmation numbers ready. The representative can look up the charge or payment and explain what happened.
If you believe a charge is fraudulent, you can dispute it through your online account or by calling customer service. Macy's will investigate and may issue a temporary credit while they look into it. Keep records of any payments you make — screenshots of online confirmations or receipts from in-store payments — in case you need to prove you paid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my Macy's bill with a different credit card?
You can pay online or by phone using a debit card or bank account, but not with another credit card. Macy's does not accept credit card payments because it would create a cash advance, which carries higher interest rates and fees. Use your bank account or debit card instead.
What's the difference between the due date and the statement date?
Your statement date is when Macy's closes out your monthly charges and creates your bill. Your due date is when your payment must arrive to avoid a late fee — usually 21 to 25 days after your statement date. Both dates appear on your statement.
Do I have to pay the full balance or can I pay part of it?
You can pay any amount from the minimum payment up to your full balance. Paying more than the minimum reduces your interest charges. If you pay less than the minimum, you'll owe a late fee and your credit score may be affected.
How do I know if my payment went through?
Online and phone payments show a confirmation number when ready. Check your account a day or two later to see the payment post. For mail payments, wait 7 to 10 business days, then log in to confirm. If a payment doesn't appear after the expected time, call customer service with your confirmation number.
Can I change my automatic payment date if it falls on a weekend?
Yes. When you set up automatic payments, you choose the date. If you pick a weekend or holiday, Macy's will process it on the next business day. You can change the date anytime through your account settings.
