BJ's Wholesale Club My BJ's Perks Mastercard was declined at Check out for no obvious reason.

Today 4/29/22 after spending over $125 to redeem several special BJ's bonus promotions, my BJ's Perks Mastercard was declined at checkout, with no prior warning, and no reason given. I pay off this credit card total every month, so I was stunned and held up the checkout line by repeatedly trying to use it again. I also lost the 10 cents a gallon bonus when buying their gas subsequent, because I was forced to use another credit card. There is no way to inquire or resolve any credit card issues in the store, so I had to wait until I was home, and called the Mastercard credit card phone number.

I was told that my credit card was placed "on hold" because I had used it on 4/27 to purchase online a $699 refrigerator from Lowe's, in an emergency when my 40-year-old current GE appliance had stopped working. But I was given NO notice of this, despite they're telling me I "should have received an email, text, or phone call message" - which is what my other credit cards would have done - instantly, until I had verified that it was me making a legitimate purchase. They then took my credit card off of hold, but I went back and double-checked my recent emails, phone calls, and texts to confirm my claim that I was never warned. Their lack of warning me was infuriating, as finding this out while trying to checkout at a crowded BJ's was the last thing I needed that day, and I wanted to warn others to be aware!

Desired outcome: Mastercard did take my credit card off hold, but they should use an automated system to warn me. Instead of presuming I was lax in getting their message - when I verified that NO warning was given.

BJ's Wholesale Club Shipping/Customer service

If I could have given them no stars I would have, I called customer service (March 2022) to inquire about purchasing an online item and it would not ship to store and they only carried a smaller size at the store. I asked if they ever have any promotions or coupons for free shipping and they said they could not tell me?! I said Ok I ordered what I wanted and paid 99$ for shipping not even a week later the same item showed up as free shipping! I called customer service numerous times and "cases" opened via email unfortunately the communication barrier with every customer agent who answered either could not understand you or vise versa! Long hold times sometimes over 50 minutes each call and I called 7 times. So finally I speak to someone who can understand me so he tells me to call Metro (the shipping company) they will reimburse the shipping. So, I call then call them. Metro tells me they can't reimburse any fees BJ's has to since my payment (Item & shipping) was paid to BJ's. So, Once again I call BJ's customer service number and 32 minutes later I speak to Shawn and he tells me he can't reimburse the shipping I have to call Metro. Needless to say I had to go through I just spoke to them and they told me to call you. (As they both point fingers at each other) Shawn finally tells me he can't reimburse my shipping because it wasn't free shipping at time of purchase. I said ok. I'll cancel my order because I didn't receive it yet and will reorder. HE said you can but you won't be refunded for any of your purchase! WHAT? I just spent 1700$ and you are telling me I will lose that if I cancel? I said do you have a supervisor I can speak to? He said I can give you the Corporate email! I find it hard to believe they don't have a contact to corporate! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING ONLINE. I WILL MAKE IT A POINT TO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO NOT BUY OR GET A MEMBERSHIP FROM BJ's. Thanks for the runaround BJ's! Pittsburgh PA

Desired outcome: I would like to know why I couldn't get a refund to re-order my product with free shipping or have my shipping reimbursed to me

On February 19, 2022, at BJ's Wholesale Club at 6301 Triangle Plantation, in Raleigh, North Carolina, when checking out, the store club employee who was ringing me up asked me if I wanted to upgrade my credit card from the blue card to the Elite Black card. I had already renewed my membership the last time I was there. She said it would cost $55 for the...

A couple of months ago bought pair of B & J canvas type jeans. Yesterday I put them on and the canvas type cloth has shredded by the crotch near the bottom where the zipper is. 38 x 30 mens light tan or beige color. What happened?

BJ's Wholesale Club Product availability

This is the fourth time I have gone to BJ's with either coupons or the sale booklet only to find that the items are not available. This time I went into my Port Charlotte store looking for items 196321 (Suncast 70 cu-ft horizontal shed). I was also interested in item 239912 (Suncast 54-cu-ft shed.) No one at the store could tell me availability and putting item numbers on website resulted in no item found. Why does Bj's continue to send out fliers with coupons when the items seem to be unavailable? Is item 196321 going to be available? I would like a reply.

Desired outcome: Would like the product (Suncast 70 cu-ft Horizontal shed).

As a loyal customer, I frequent BJ's often and especially gas. As of late, there are an abundance of anti-Biden stickers on the pumps. There is a picture of President Biden with a finger pointing to the price of gas saying "I DID THAT". These stickers are representing your company. Are you really okay with this? Shouldn't they be taken down...

BJ's Wholesale Club Greek yogurt

I am unable to get Greek yogurt at the BJs in Rotterdam, NY. It has been 2 weeks. I asked at the service desk but they did not know why. Last Saturday, I went to the BJs in Albany, NY and they had Chobani yogurt. There has not been Chobani or BJs brand of the large containers of Greek yogurt at the BJs in Rotterdam.

Desired outcome: Please give me a reason why there is not any yogurt at the Rotterdam, NY BJs.

BJ's Wholesale Club Service

I went to club#386 for the first time. HORRRIBLE HORRIBLE service starting with the manager. Being that it's a new store you would think the best of the best would be working there and this is not the case. I spend at least two thousand a month a BJS for a few years now and I've never been treated so poorly and single out by so many employees. This store is very very poorly ran. I can be contacted by email at [protected]@gmail.com or by phone at [protected]. I will be sure to continue to let everyone know what to expect when entering this store!

Desired outcome: phone call back please [protected] and a gift card for my wasted time in this store for no reason from the deli department, checkout, and front doors

BJ's Wholesale Club Credit card

I have been a member since 2016. I recently applied for a BJ’s credit card so that I could take advantage of their advertised 10c per gallon savings on gasoline. I also had planned to use the card when making grocery purchases. Yesterday I received a letter from Comenity Bank which handles the BJ’s credit card. My application was denied, stating the reason being, “not enough balance paid down over time in revolving accounts”. The letter also stated, “your credit score as of Mar 12, 2022 : 846”. I attempted to contact Comenity Bank several times and was finally advised to contact the credit bureau……

I also contacted BJ’s customer care department was told the same thing!

I am left with no other option but to take my business elsewhere.

Amazing how one is penalized in this day and age for having excellent credit!

Desired outcome: I would really like to have a BJ’s Perks Mastercard

I will never buy Wellsley again. I got a 3 pack of bacon which had slices 2 feet long. The end of the slices was all fat. The extra fat was tucked under the normal pieces. (See photos)

BJ's Wholesale Club phone system runaround

3/16/22 11:35am. I wanted to order tires and set up appt as when at tire place the men were too busy, I was patient ( only had one person they were helping) and suggested I order online and sched appointment. I was trying to call the club to see how long for tires to order to sched appt, the phone automated and hold was a mess, then i hung up after 9 minutes. There is a lot of other places to go, so I am done with runaround. I work very hard for my money and my time is precious, just wanted service.

BJ's Wholesale Club Optical Department and General Inability to Contact Customer Service

The customer service at the Madison Heights, MI is not good. My husband and I have been in store, a number of times and the Optical Department is always roped off. I call and there is no answer - ever. I called today (Sunday) and was told they were open and I said no one answers the phone and did I need an appointment since no one is ever there. She said no, it is staffed every day, but if it is roped off it is because they are in the back doing examinations. I asked to speak to someone there and she put me on hold for 10 minutes, another customer service rep picked up and told me they are closed.

So, I am no longer interested in getting my glasses through BJ's, in fact I am no longer interested in being your customer. Any company that makes it this difficult to address something this easy, must have many customer services complaints and an inadequately trained staff to address it.

Sorry we bothered you to ever become a customer/member.

Desired outcome: That is perfect, REALLY - your response "The company can't read your mind and..." that really does sound like one of your highly educated, dedicated customer service representatives.

We starting to buy these because of the value. We've been buying them for the last several years. However, most recently we are getting wipes just shoved in the package, literally crumpled in the package like they were an afterthought. Also, they no longer feed the next wipe up. They used to be semi - thick and very comfortable to use. Now they are...

BJ's Wholesale Club Abbyson 3 pc reclining set

We are members of BJ,s club located in Burlington N.C. Our customer number [protected]. We are happy to be members of this club. We left another wholesale club to join BJ,s. However when we made a furniture purchase that included a 3 piece recliner set a couch, a loveseat, and a recliner it was missing arms on the couch. We made the online purchase in November 2021 (order number [protected]). When the items were delivered and set up by the delivery company. They made us aware that the recliner couch was missing two arms that fit on the left and right sides of the couch. We immediately called to let the company and spoke to Matthew to explain the problem. We asked him if we needed to return the set before the delivery company left. He stated, ‘no.’ He took the information and told us that someone would get in contact with us within 24 48 hours. We waited a few days and no one called us. We called back on 11/17/2021 and were informed that nothing was in the system but Noemi would properly escalate the case and we should get a response within 24-48 hours. We were given reference number 4934892. We called back on 11/23, 11/25, 12/2, 12/21. Each time we were told that it was being handled that wings would be sent or a replacement would be sent. While waiting on a follow-up call or email, we noticed that the couch recliner was not properly reclining as it gets stuck. Note, this is on the left side where one of the arms is missing. Throughout all of these calls made, no one has reached out to me by phone or email which we were also told we would receive On 1/10/22, we spoke to Arni and he went as far as to say did we check the compartment under the chair for the missing arm. The sofas were delivered and set up by a company hired by BJ’s and it was not our responsibility to look for missing parts. At that point, I requested for the entire set to be picked up. Since then, I responded to an email for feedback on my experience. Ironically, someone called to see if it had been resolved. After indicating that nothing had been done, she even told me someone would call us back. I have also joined the Insider Community. In addition, I reached out to my local store and spoke to Jocelyn (store manager) and she informed me that we could return to the store. Easier said than done as we would have to rent a truck and hire someone to assist with the return. As a loyal customer of BJ’s, this is not our responsibility.

As of today, 2/27/22, nothing has been done. We need some assistance with this matter. We are requesting that the set be picked up immediately and a full refund. In addition, we are requesting free membership as we have been reluctant to renew our membership (expired in January) because of this unresolved matter.

The above information was emailed on 2/27/22 to [protected]@bjs.com and no response. I was given that email address from my local store indicating that that person would handle the matter.

Unfortunately, as of today 3/8/2022, I have not heard from anyone. I have called the corporate office but it refers me back to this customer service line. This is the number I have been calling since November and no resolution. Please contact me ASAP [protected].

BJ's Wholesale Club Tire service

Placed an order on February 21, 2022 online four for Goodyear tires to be installed on February 25, 2022. I received a phone call a few hours before my scheduled appointment stating the tires are not available and they cannot give me an estimated time of arrival nor a tracking number for delivery, as FedEx is unpredictable with their shipments. I’ve made multiple phone calls to follow up with BJ’s customer service even visited the store and spoke with a manager and tire center rep, to find out when I can receive the tires for installation to no avail. Spoke with someone in customer service over the phone today was told that the order was placed based on stock available however it was truly not available in the store so she would have to give me a refund. Agreed to the refund based on the last contact with customer service and was placed on hold then I was transferred to an automated line, without any confirmation of whether my refund was processed. This is truly poor customer service. Order#[protected], membership#[protected]

Name: Sharice Levy

Desired outcome: I would like the four tires that I ordered to be installed.

BJ'S tire service center saratoga springs ny.

first of all they did not have the tires i originally ordered and know one said anything to me about it and i did not notice til i got in my car and started to drive off to work when i heard this severe rubbing sound it almost sounded like brakes rubbing so i stopped and got out of my car and looked at my wheels as thats ware the sound was coming from , i noticed that the wheel weights when they balanced my tires were installed on the inside of the rim, they were rubbing on my calipers, so i went to work and called them so i had to got back the next day and the guy guy tried to tell me the noise was from my new lug nuts,, which i told him that was not the problem so the [censored] takes my wheels off and supposably put the weights on right on to the outside of rims well the idiot leaves the front ones on the back of rims and only changed out the one in the rear tire saying in a couple of days the weights will wear in and stop grinding, so this [censored] who is playing with peoples tires may get someone killed cause now that the weights on the rims have wore down my tires are no longer balanced correctly cause when they wore down they do not weigh what they use to weigh so this rocket scientist tire guy screwed up my car i even gave this guy a tip originally cause i asked him to put my new lug nuts on which at the end of it when he took them off and never never put them back on, then tells me i can come back another day and he would put them on ,,, lmao this jerk thinks that i would actually let him ever touch my car again then he is a bigger [censored] then i think he is and when i went to have the tires originally put on the car i waited there just about 2 hours to get 4 tires put on a car and the next day when i went back for him to try to make it right i was there just about an hour and a half and now i have to bring my car to a real tire guy to re balance my tires the right way , I never had that problem at BJ'S in the past but i will be cautious if i ever buy tires there again, so people of saratoga ny be warned cause this guy will probably get someone killed , and maybe i will tally up all the time and money this guy cost me from the time i had to take off of work to get my tires fixed right and safe,

First time to purchased set of tires from Bj's at Fallschurch,VA about 2 yrs ago. I was dissapointed when they fixed the nail on my tires. It's not the same the way Costo fix my previous tires. Costco will fix this kind of road hazzard inside your tire. That is my first and last purchasing tire at Bj's. I will go back to Costo again they have professional technician.

BJ's Wholesale Club Return policy

Elder neighbor ordered dishes on-line. One plate broken. Called local store to request shipping label for return. Evening manager couldn't help. GM was not available then or next day. Whoever neighbor finally talked to refused shipping label and stated neighbor had to bring entire box to local store for refund/replacement. Neighbor is using a walker to get around so this was not an option.

Policy states: To return an eligible item purchased on BJs.com, you may return it in-Club or log into your online account and create a return.

Deplorable customer service and makes me very happy I do not have a membership.

Desired outcome: Ensure in store staff is aware of return policies as they apply to mail order and not stress out elder customers.

Wellsley farmas. Organic 2% reduced fat milk
On 2/13/22 I bought 2 boxes of this milk with an expiration date in March, and when I was cooking this it was sour and smelly, I had to throw it down the sink this morning, and it's not the first time this has happened. they are 2 times with today, this is disgusting and theft that they do to the consumer by selling bad products, look for other companies that sell better eating products before they kill someone with this.

Desired outcome: I want a refund of the value of two cases of milk, I bought this at BJ"S Danvers MA
