spoke to member on 3/6/23. Informed member Bj's sent over the request for the membership refund, but member had an outstanding balance with comenity bank, and they will not close the account till balance is paid in full. I did inform the member she used 40 in awards and then member didn't pay her credit card ****. I told member once she used the awards Bj's automatically renews membership as part of using the $40 in free awards that member received.
I also sent the member the purchase history and the date the awards were used.

I was miss informed from BJ's from the 1st conversation in January up to this moment and I have emails to prove, it was never mentioned about an outstanding balance and now 3 months later, BJ's is saying for the 1st time about a balance, I need a email from BJ's admitting that it was a mistake not to inform me that I had a balance, If BJ's could get all this information today, they should tell me when I spoke with them for the first time and I would pay the balance immediate.
When I spoke ************* months ago and they claimed that they never received request for a refund from BJ's and I spoke again with ************ on the 3/6/23 and they are saying that they never receive any request from BJ's.
I asked *** from BJ's to send a proof and he sent me an email with transaction date 11/1/23 ? a half crossed sketch with no dates and incorrect amount.

My order number is ********* and is for $2495. Placed the order on the 8th of this month, and it was supposed to arrive on the 10th. Somehow, the package was refused by someone else and returned to the sender. Based off the tracking number 1ZA292430307880409, it was delivered back to sender (BJs) on Tuesday February 14th at 11:54 am. I've contacted customer service at least 10 times, and all I've been told to wait. I contacted them when the *** page showed it was refused and on it's way back, and I contacted them numerous times afterwards. They keep giving me the runaround, and the customer service has been terrible. Most of the times I called, I received the same exact person. I don't know if their customer service team is understaffed, but I don't appreciate how nothing has been done to fix this. I was told by that very same person each time that they would email me updates, but that was a lie. At this point, I'm tired of the runaround and I request that they handle this immediately. Please resolve this.Business Response

They did not send any email to remedy the issue. Its a lie, not surprised that they would do that.

I was at the gas station (2/23/22: 15:10) when I pulled up to the pump gas tank was on opposite side. The gas pump would not go over vehicle to reach opposite side (pump 11), I had to turn the vehicle around in order to pump gas. I turned the vehicle around and the cashier turned the pump off. He stated that I drove in the wrong way which I did not and explained to him that the pump is not reaching opposite side of vehicle possibly due to faulty equipment. I waited in line 20 minutes prior to reaching the pump. He would not turn the pump on and I had to drive around and wait again. This is unacceptable. I also called the store twice. The first time I spoke to a manager ******* that hung up on me, I literally heard the phone hang up. I called back and spoke to customer service and was on hold for another manager once again I hear the phone pick up and someone hung up. I called the customer care number to attempt to file a complaint. I had to explain situation twice due to language barriers. I specifically stated I wanted to file a complaint on the cashier in the gas station. After explaining twice she stated she would get the information I need to file a complaint. Out of frustration I ended the call and stated I would file a complaint on BBB. I thought I was speaking to appropriate person to file a complaint with the company. The customer service is unacceptable.Business Response

This is the 3rd time that a BJ's cashier has told me my membership was expiring and if I want to renew it. Each time my membership was not set to expire for atleast 6 months. Most recently on my 2/22/23 visit the cashier said my membership was set to expire and if I wanted to renew. Why am I being asked this if I still have 7 months left before it expires.Business Response

Dear BBB officer/staff,Thank you for you time look into this issue.On 9/17/22,I called BJs wholesale home office for the membership renewal fee of $57.98 that I never authorized to pay (as a matter of fact, I denied to renew the membership 1 month before it was charged automatically). BJs representative said the refund will be posted on my credit card within 1-2 billing cycle. I called BJs again on 11/10/22 and once more on 1/23/23. As of now, refund still hasnt been credited back to me yet after 5 months, I asked multiple times for the follow up, no one called me or emailed me from BJs about the status update.The reference number for 9/17/22 call is *******, for 11/10/22 call is *******, for 1/23/23 call is *******.If BJs cant get refund done thru the credit card, they can just issue me a store credit or something. Ive spend at least 2 hrs over past 5 months tried to get this issue resolved, but couldnt. I appreciate your time looking into this complaint for me. DanqianBusiness Response

Bj's has the ability to auto charge a credit card for annual fees even if credit card numbers have changed. BJ's charged my credit card on 11/1/22 for $55 annual charge. I went into a BJ's strore to dispute the transaction as I have not been a member of BJ's for many years. They were not able to locate an account for me nor were they able to locate the charge. I emailed a dispute to BJ's starting in December 2022 and as of today, the issue is still not resolved. I have also filed a dispute with my credit card company pending resolution with BJ's. Credit card companies are only able to reject auto charges for 18 months, so there is a chance that BJ's will still be able to charge my card for annual membership past *************************************************************************** so I can not actually use the store.Business Response

Bjs had sent me a flyer in my mail. The flyer showed that I could get free SAME day delivery if I purchased and order of $100 or more between February 6 -12th within 5 hours. On February 7 I placed an order of over $400. There were 4 items that were out of stock and would be shipped separately. I was expected to receive my order within their specified time frame. Well at 8:09 pm I received a text indicating that my order would arrive at 9:30 pm..at 9:31 pm I sent a reply text asking where they were. I got no response. No one ever showed up that night. In that text message showed an estimated deliver on Febraury 8th from 10 am to 12 pm. Well by this time I am ****** off. I put a call into corporate and spoke to a ******. I explained to him what had happened and he indicated to me that he would take care of me by refunding me the order amount minus the items that were out of stock and would be shipped separately...which the refund I was told should be $344.87. Before he told me he would give me a refund i asked him what he could do for all my aggravation. He offered to give me a $10 credit on my bjs memmbeship as well. I told him the $10 wasnt necessary seeing that i would get a FULL refund for the items that DID NOT show up as promised as one of their promotions indicated. I specifically asked him what should I do with the items when they arrive. He informed me that I could keep them or give them away, but assured me that I WOULD receive a refund of $344.87 between February ***** 2023. I had been following up with this and was assured by speaking to ***** once again that my refund would show up on my credit card between Feb *****. Today is now the 16th. I followed up again with corporate and now I am being told that they will NOT refund me the $344.87 as promised and is telling me to dispute this with instacart, as they were the ones delivering for bjs. Or dispute it through my credit card. This ISNT acceptable to meBusiness Response
