They havent even made a good faith offer to refund half: they are not a small no name company.

I participated in neiman macus' gift card event in Dec. 2024 where if you spend 200 you get 50 in gift card. I placed an order that's over 200 dollars. Then after all other items arrived (and I gifted them out), I was told that an item that was 25 dollars was no longer available so they cancelled the item. Now my order is less than 200 and does not qualify for the gc anymore, and I can't return my order anymore bcs the other items have arrived and been gifted.I emailed customer service about the situation and the reply was they can give me a 50 dollar discount if I call in the customer service number and place my next order.When I first called in, they were ok with it, but they said my order amount was too little (68 dollars), and it needed to be over 100. I said that clause was not included in the email. And the 50 was supposed to be the ** amount I already deserve. I asked to talk to supervisor, and was hung up. I called again the next day, and to not waste my own time I said I could place the order that's 100. The supervisor this time said they did not want to honor the 50 collar discount at all. They would only give me 15%. I have recordings of all the conversations.Business Response

I ordered a pair of shoes from Neiman Marcus for an upcoming birthday gift. My order number is WN00007342709. My order said delivered, and I went to open my package, and the shoes were not inside the package. The package did not appear to be previously opened. I contacted Neiman Marcus about this and they said they will start an investigation into the matter. I waited 5 days for them to say the claim cannot be processed at this time and I am not accepting that resolution as they did not give me the promised items.

Placed order April 23, 2024, in the amount of $746.86. (Item minus tax, etc was $698)At the time of purchase, there was a promotion for a gift card with the order. While recently reviewing my orders, I remembered the promotional offer and that I never received a gift card. Called Neiman February 3, 2025, to inquire about gift card. I was told they would send my information to that department, and it would take 7-10 days to investigate. I called back February 21, 2025, and was informed there was no update - that it will take longer. I was told there was no one else I could talk to regarding the issue. At this point, I feel that Neiman was hoping I would forget about the gift card I was eligible for thus not have to pay out... and now it seems they will wait for me to "give up" on ever receiving it as I seem to have no recourse. Very disappointed in the service and what feels like deceptive marketing practices.Business Response

On 12/1/2024, I placed an order with Neiman Marcus and successfully applied their GC4YOU promo code at checkout, which clearly stated that I qualified for a $125 promotional gift card. The checkout page explicitly confirmed that I had met the requirements and would receive the gift card. I have a screenshot as evidence showing this confirmation.However, after completing my purchase, Neiman Marcus refused to issue the gift card, claiming that because I had applied another promo code to my order, I was no longer eligible. This restriction was never disclosed during checkout, nor was I given any warning that using an additional promo code would void the gift card offer. Had this been made clear, I would have reconsidered my purchase.I contacted Neiman Marcus customer service multiple times and offer to provide my screenshot proof, but they still refuse to honor their promotion. This is a deceptive practice, as their system explicitly confirmed my eligibility at checkout before I finalized the order.I am requesting that Neiman Marcus honor their original promotion and issue me the $125 gift card as promised.Supporting Evidence: screenshot showing that I successfully applied the promo code and qualified for the gift card.This type of misleading advertising is unacceptable, and I hope BBB can assist in resolving this matter.Thank you for your time.Business Response

Subject: Complaint Against Neiman Marcus Misleading Promotion Dear Better Business Bureau,I am filing a formal complaint against Neiman Marcus regarding a misleading promotional offer that was not honored.On Dec 2nd 2024, I made a purchase exceeding $500 under a promotion that promised a $125 gift card. Before completing my transaction, I confirmed that the promotion was applied. When I followed up on December 11, 2024, Neiman Marcus customer service assured me that I would receive the gift card within seven weeks. However, when I contacted them again on February 18, 2025, I was told that I was ineligible because I had supposedly received another promotioninformation that was never disclosed to me at the time of purchase.This is misleading and unfair business practice. I made my purchase based on the advertised promotion, and Neiman Marcus later changed the terms without proper notification. I am requesting that Neiman Marcus honor the original promotion and provide the $125 gift card as promised.I appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter. Please let me know if any additional information is required.Sincerely,***** ***Business Response

I received a gift that was the wrong size. I spoke to customer service and they told me that I could return it and they would send a gift card for the same amount. I returned the gift and instead of getting a gift card they returned the money to the gift giver who I can not contact (they would not supply contact info). They now refuse to follow their policy and send me a gift card or the gift that I returned.Business Response

I ordered a shirt and attempted to pick up the shirt on 02/12 but, curbside was not there nor, did anyone answer the phone number. This was at a time the store was open (4:30pm AZ)..I called ***eatedly. After sitting in my car for 30 minutes, I left and contacted Neiman Marcus **************** to cancel my order. The *** could not cancel my order and suggested I call the Neiman Marcus store. I was routed to the curbside number where again, nobody picked up. After calling the store 5x with no resolution, I texted a Neiman Marcus agent and they said they would cancel it, Id receive an email in ***** hours with the return. No email has been sent. I called 3x today and finally connected with curbside, where ******* said I should have walked inside however, there is no curbside signage from the parking lot. She wasnt super helpful to cancel the order. It required my husband calling again to require it was cancel and proof it was ************ of 02/15, I dont have an email confirming my order was cancelled nor that I will receive a ********* family, friends and I shop a lot. This by far the worst customer experience Ive ever had which could have been avoided with appropriate training of customer ***s, staffing the curbside pickup, providing clear communication on how to pick up when curbside isnt there or doesnt answer, and better communication to the customer by sending an email when an order is cancelled & returned. To say this is an awful experience, is putting it lightly.Business Response

My boyfriend bought me a pair of **** ***** shoes from Neiman Marcus for Christmas. I wore them sporadically for about 2-3 weeks, and the buckle split down the middle. It wasn't something I caused; it was a clear defect in the buckle. I returned them to Neiman Marcus, but I havent received any updates for almost three weeks, except for a confirmation that they received the product via the Fed-EX tracking number.This morning, I called and spoke with a male representative who told me that since the shoes were worn, there was nothing they could do to resolve the issue. I requested to speak with a supervisor, and Thuso explained that they could offer me $50 and send the shoes back to me. The original purchase price was $334.52. I asked for either a refund or store credit, but he said he couldnt do anything further. I then called **** *****, and they informed me that this issue should be handled through Neiman Marcus, because they are a separate entity. The representative, *******, advised me to send pictures of the defective buckle if Neimen refuses to help. I called Neiman Marcus again and spoke to Nosi, who told me they didnt have an estimated date for when I would receive my shoes back so I could send the pictures. I truly feel that this shouldn't even be something I have to do. This is not my fault, and I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get my money back for a manufacturing defect.I also had to pay for the label to send the shoes back. I hadnt even had them for a month before the buckle broke in half. Its clearly a product defect, yet Neiman Marcus refuses to acknowledge that. I would still like a refund, as I originally requested. I was open to store credit, but given my lack of confidence in this company, the only resolution Im seeking now is a refund. Note: I would provide pictures of the buckle, but once again, Neiman Marcus has had the shoes for almost three weeks now and have not provided a return date.Business Response
