Your registered Macy's.com email address and password. If you haven't registered your card online yet, don't worry, we'll cover that too!
Ready? Let's dive in!
Step 2: Accessing Your Macy's Credit Account Online
The primary way to pay your Macy's American Express card online is through the official Macy's website or their mobile app.
Sub-heading: Via the Macy's Website
Navigate to Macy's.com: Open your web browser and go to
www.macys.com Locate "My Account": In the top right corner of the Macy's website, you'll usually find a "My Account" link. Hover your mouse over it to reveal a dropdown menu.
Sign In: From the dropdown, select "Sign In." You'll be prompted to enter your email address and password associated with your Macy's account. If you have not yet registered your card online, proceed to the next section "Registering Your Card Online."
Sub-heading: Via the Macy's Mobile App
Download the App: If you don't already have it, download the official Macy's app from your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS).
Open and Sign In: Launch the Macy's app. You'll typically find a "My Account" or "Sign In" option. Enter your registered email address and password.
Step 3: Registering Your Card Online (If You Haven't Already)
If this is your first time paying your Macy's American Express card online, you'll need to link your card to your Macy's.com account.
Start the Registration Process: After signing in (or if prompted during sign-in), look for an option to "Add a Macy's Credit Card" or "Register Your Card."
Enter Card Details: You'll be asked to provide your Macy's American Express card number and other identifying information (like your name as it appears on the card, security code, etc.).
Verify Your Identity: Macy's may require additional verification steps to confirm your identity, such as answering security questions or receiving a code via email or phone.
Complete Registration: Once verified, your Macy's American Express card will be linked to your online account, giving you full access to manage it.
Step 4: Making a One-Time Payment
Once you're signed in and your card is linked, you can proceed with making a payment.
Sub-heading: Navigating to the Payment Section
Find "Macy's Credit Card": From your "My Account" dashboard, look for a section specifically for "Macy's Credit Card" or "Macy's Card." Click or tap on this.
Select "Make a Payment": Within the credit card section, you'll clearly see a button or link labeled "Make A Payment." Click this to begin the payment process.
Sub-heading: Entering Payment Details
Choose Payment Amount: You'll typically have options to pay:
Statement Balance: The full amount due on your last statement.
Minimum Payment Due: The smallest amount you can pay to keep your account in good standing. Be aware that paying only the minimum will result in interest charges.
Other Amount: Allows you to enter a custom amount to pay. This is great if you want to pay more than the minimum but less than the full statement balance.
Select Payment Date: You can choose to make a payment immediately or schedule a payment for a future date. This is particularly useful if you want to ensure the payment is made on your due date or another specific day.
Choose Payment Source:
You'll need to input your bank's routing number and your checking or savings account number. This information will be saved for future payments, but you can also add new bank accounts if needed.
Important Note: Macy's typically does not accept debit cards for online payments. Payments must be made from a checking or savings account.
Sub-heading: Review and Authorize
Review Information: Before finalizing, you'll be presented with a summary of your payment: the amount, the date, and the bank account it will be debited from. Double-check all details carefully.
Authorize Payment: If everything looks correct, click the "Authorize" or "Confirm Payment" button. You might need to check a box agreeing to terms and conditions.
Confirmation: You should receive a confirmation message on your screen, often with a confirmation number. It's a good idea to save or screenshot this for your records. You may also receive an email confirmation.
Please note: Payments may take up to 3 business days to reflect on your Macy's account.
Step 5: Setting Up AutoPay (Optional but Recommended!)
For ultimate convenience and to avoid missing due dates, consider setting up AutoPay. This allows Macy's to automatically deduct your payment from your bank account each month.
Access AutoPay Settings: From the "Macy's Credit Card" section of your online account, look for an option like "Enroll in AutoPay" or "Manage AutoPay."
Choose Payment Amount: Decide what amount you want to pay automatically each month:
Statement Balance
Minimum Payment Due
A fixed custom amount
Select Payment Date: You can usually choose how many days before your due date you want the payment to be processed.
Confirm Bank Account: Select the bank account you wish to use for AutoPay.
Enroll: Review the terms and conditions and confirm your enrollment in AutoPay.
You can typically edit or cancel AutoPay settings up to two days before a scheduled debit date if you need to make changes for the current statement period.
Step 6: Managing Your Account and Statements
Beyond just making payments, your online account allows you to manage various aspects of your Macy's American Express card.
Sub-heading: Viewing Statements & Activity
Access Statements: In the "Macy's Credit Card" section, look for "Statements & Recent Activity." Here you can view your current balance, minimum payment due, payment due date, and download past billing statements.
Go Paperless: You can often enroll in Paperless Statements to receive your statements electronically, which is both convenient and eco-friendly.
Sub-heading: Other Account Management Features
Your online portal may also allow you to:
Request a credit limit increase.
Add authorized users to your account.
Set up account alerts (e.g., payment due date reminders, balance alerts).
Dispute a charge.
