I contacted Goldman Szocks GM rewards card to cancel and close my account a couple months ago. Upon doing so on the phone, the agent had said to me you might not want to do that because you have $150 reward owed to you, it should be the next statement or the statement after. I said well I didnt know that I had $100 bonus when I opened the account but I didnt know about this. They said no this is something completely different. They said this is like a reward. I had also called in and spoke to another agent who advised me the same exact thing telling me that. Oh yes, you have $150 reward coming to you. After multiple phone calls trying to figure out how to get this reward every single agent that I had spoken to was able to see that a reward for $150 was indeed owed to me. Since then, I had called in probably over 20 times in the past couple months trying to find out what I need to do and why this hasnt been applied. I have had agents make cases for this etc. still $150 reward. I found a switchboard number to the main Goldman Sachs office to try to get someone at a higher executive level to look into this because it has been now a complete waste of time. I have wasted more than $150 of my time trying to get to the bottom of this. So at this point Ive had enough. I got through to a lady at **************** through the main switchboard. She created a case, then I got an email stating they were only going to send $50.00 credit to my statement. I tried calling the switchboard multiple times since then to get the same lady and now they wont transfer me to her to get to the bottom of why they still owe me $100 and it has not been taken care of. Today operator number three told me all cases have been closed and they are offering no further investigation. I want to review all phone calls since I tried a couple months ago where they can see that agents definitely promised me that they would get me this $150 reward that they said I was owed. I am sick and tired of this!Business response

Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the Bank) received the above-referenced complaint related to ** Card via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint Portal on August 8, 2024. ******** appreciates the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ***************************** (the Customer) related to promotional rewards.
******** conducted an investigation and confirmed no error occurred. The Customers account qualified for a promotion which provided a $100 statement credit after spending $1000 in the first 90 days after account opening. According to the Banks records the Customer completed the required spending within the promotional period and a $100.00 statement credit was applied to the account on March 3, 2024. The rewards credit can be viewed on the billing statement generated March 16, 2024. There is no additional reward that the Customer's account qualified for. The Customer initially contacted the Bank on July 11, 2024, and was connected with the ** Rewards team in regard to the promotion. ******** conducted a review of interactions and was unable to locate any record of mistreatment or misinformation provided by a Bank representative. However, as a courtesy the Bank applied an additional statement credit of $50.00 to the account on August 7, 2024, to accommodate for any potential misinformation that was provided in relation to the promotion in question. The Customer received a total of $150.00 in statement credits. ******** is unable to provide any additional compensation. ******** regrets the frustrations the Customer experienced.
Based on the above details, the Bank kindly requests for this complaint to be closed.Customer response

I am rejecting this response because:
This information is completely incorrect, and it is an absolute lie! If they will review all their calls and listen to all the recorded messages since the first date, I started calling to try to cancel my account. Every representative had told me that I might not want to cancel my account because I have $150 statement credit to me. They told me I just needed to wait another billing cycle or two for it. So since these calls are recorded, there should be information on there that they can pull to see that these representatives all have told me this every single one that I called in and spoke to said that I had $150 reward , still owed to me. The problem is as a customer to be inconvenienced this way basically told that what I was told is untrue is completely uncalled for. They have sent me through the rigmarole for absolutely. No reason this is something they couldve fixed in house representatives are the ones telling me this so they should stand behind their problems and fix them instead of going against the customer and doing everything they can to not help. I would never recommend this company to anyone I will absolutely make it known

I have an apple credit card with Goldman Sachs. The card got locked apparently because they wanted me to change my password. They didnt email me or give me any notification and just locked the card. Ive had the card for a couple of years and always got a notification to pay it and I always paid it in full(. Never minimum payment always in full). The account was locked and I didnt even see that there was a payment due. I got a notification from the credit bearus that I have an account with late payment. Ive called Goldman Sachs and paid the card in full right away and asked them what happened and why I didnt have access to my account and why they didnt send me any emails and let me know or give me an option to pay. They apologised and reactivated the account but its still show on my credit report as late payment. I request that they remove the late payment from my report and report correctly that I always paid on time and it was an error on their end for locking my account and not giving me an option to pay and not even notifying me.Business response

Hello,I, *******************, ************************************************************************************** without my permission, which allowed criminals to withdraw, so far, almost $500,000 from my Marcus By Goldman Sachs Bank accounts. On July 8, 2024 my ******** cell phone, ************, was ported out from my account without my request or permission. All of my Financial Institutions were connected to this phone number. Since July 8, 2024:- my credit cards have been used.- I notified all of my Financial Institutions and none of them were penetrated.- My accounts in all three Credit Bureaus were accessed, user name, password and my new phone number were changed, Freeze removed.- The criminals opened 4 new bank accounts in my name at *********, *********** Chase and PNC Bank. - I notified Marcus *********** right away that my phone number was stolen. On July 10 a $40,000 fraudulent transfer was requested from Marcus ***********, but since I called and notified them of Identity Theft, this transfer was reversed. However, since July 10, the criminals were able to obtain access to Marcus Bank, create 4 new external bank account links, and submit 7 more transfers and outbound wire requests. I kept calling and speaking to supervisors but I was hung up on, transferred many times, talked down to, and so far the criminals were able to withdraw almost $500,000 to outside fraudulent accounts from my 3 CDs. All of my CDs were Closed before the Maturity Date and the left-over of the money in these accounts were moved to one saving account. It is so bad that it looks like an inside job. Yesterday a supervisor in security finally created a Dispute #************. I was also guaranteed that the left-over of my money are safe and cannot be taken out until Dispute resolution.This has been a horrible experience!!I want to get my money back in my account with interest.Can you please look into this matter with Marcus By Goldman Sachs. Thank You very much.Business response

Account Closed Without Reason I have been a loyal customer of ********************** for almost three years and have used my card daily without ever missing a payment. Out of nowhere, my account was restricted and then closed with no given reason other than a vague email that explains nothing.Every time I try to contact customer support, the representatives are nice but seem to have no information or access to any details regarding why my account was randomly closed. It's incredibly frustrating to deal with this lack of transparency and communication.To make matters worse, my savings account has also been restricted due to the restriction on my card. I have been given no concrete date on when this restriction will be lifted, and I cannot access my savings. I am repeatedly told that complaints are being put in and that I am in a queue, but nothing has been resolved.I have never experienced anything like this with a financial institution. The lack of communication and transparency is unacceptable. I expect a much higher level of service and accountability. Until this issue is resolved, I cannot recommend Goldman to anyone.Business response
