Here is my official complaint in writing. *********************************************************** ********************** Membership #*********** :Order number - ********* Date 12/13/2022 BJs Wholesale Club *************************** Dear Bjs Wholesale club Re: *********** On December 1st 2022,I purchased PlayStation 5 Console God of War Ragnarok with Controller - Disc VersionItem: ****** at online. Unfortunately i have not received my purchase am disappointed because I have waited over 2 weeks for a resolution and have not been given one. I was told my order was delivered but have never had any proof of delivery ( a photograph or signature stating I received this order due to it being over $600)I am being told, I , the consumer need to figure out how to get a refund on my own and your company is refusing to resolve this despite not providing any proof my order was delivered to me. I should not have to wait for BJs to get their refund from *** until I receive my refund. I should have been refunded or offered a replacement as soon as no proof of delivery was provided by ***. I have reached out almost daily for resolution only to be told to wait. I was told I would receive a refund by customer service agent *****. And then they told me to dispute. I should not have to do any of this because BJs failed to provide me the customer proof my delivery was actually sent to my address or not another. Or even had me sign for this order due to it being almost $600 .Especially for an order of this amount. Your customer service agent **** kept brushing me off for 2 weeks. I was told by 2 different customer service agents I would receive a refund within ***** hours and still nothing. To resolve the problem, I would appreciate a refund to my original payment method or a replacement. Enclosed are copies of my records.I look forward to your reply and a resolution to my problem. Please contact me at the above address or by phone at **************.Sincerely,*************************Business Response

We are Rewards Members at BJ's (*********************; Member # ***********). Until now, we've never had a problem. 11/13 was the last time our rewards account updated. After that purchase, on 11/21 the receipt stated we had $188.50 until our next $10 reward (earned for every $500 spent). Despite making purchases on 11/21, 11/25, 11/28 and 12/5, which totaled almost $400, new receipts and our online account still say we have $188.50 until our next reward. I have spoken with **************** via phone and email and have been told repeatedly that we've received our rewards and that we have "received the right amount for every purchase you have done." I have requested to speak with the rewards team myself but was told that they were not reachable by phone. The customer service rep handling our case continues to tell me via email that my account is correct, when it's clearly stalled at $188.50.I would like our account to be remedied so it begins accurately tracking and awarding the rewards. We spend thousands at BJs every year and have never encountered this issue before. The customer service rep is replying back to my emails every three days, but continues saying that the rewards team has checked our account and it's correct. Not sure how, since every purchase we make normally decreases the amount needed to our next reward, yet this hasn't occurred for three weeks. Note that in the time period being discussed, we had a return of $3.14 on 11/22 and the purchase on 11/21 included a gift card purchase of $24.49. I know that these do not count towards earning a $10 reward, but these do not alter the main complaint here as we've also spent $16.48 on 11/21, $26.54 on 11/25, $120.36 on 11/28 and $219.67 on 12/5.Thank you for any help you can provide. I've attached five receipts, dated from 11/21-12/5, all stating that we have $188.50 until our next reward.Business Response

I appreciate the response of BJs and am grateful for the awards added to my account; the person I have been speaking with has been kind, courteous and ****************** am hesitant to completely close this complaint until we determine that my rewards card is operating correctly. One of the resolutions in my initial request was to ensure that our spending at BJs was tallied correctly. Everyone we spoke with said it was "fine", but that won't be determined until I shop there again and the "amount to next reward" budges from $188.50.

I have now spent another $288 at BJs on two occasions (12/14 and 12/19) since opening this complaint. The "amount to next reward" is still stalled at $188.50. BJs has said it's been $188.50 to the next reward for over a month now, despite my spending well over $600 in that time. BJs has paid $20 in rewards to me manually during this time, but the second part of my request (to fix our account so our spending properly tallies) is still pending. I do hope IT can remedy this, but I am not satisfied with this as it does not remedy the situation.

I appreciate that there is a solution. At this point, if an "award" is made as noted in the response, please note that we have spent more since the initial complaint was made. On 12/14, we spent $88.66. On 12/19, we spent $198.42 and on 12/27 we spent $2.99). None of these orders seem to have tallied as the day after we made those purchases, the amount to next reward showing online is the same as what is printed on the receipt. When the system is tallying correctly, the day after a purchase we can see a decrease in the "amount to next reward" online in our account.
Note that two orders on 12/23 DID seem to tally, as the rewards decreased from $188.50. (One order was $117.02 and one was $37.92). Those decreased the "amount to next reward" to $33.50. The purchase on 12/27 of $2.99 did not get tallied, as today (12/28), it still says we have $33.50 to our next award.
We appreciate the awards being properly attributed to our account. Please keep in mind that the other part of this complaint was that the account would then be tallied correctly going forward.
Thank you,

Thank you for the update. Hoping that we see the awards that were missed from 11/14-12/21, as they are roughly $700.
Still waiting to see if both members' cards tally the totals correctly when used.

I received multiple letters advising that I could renew the membership which expired in June 2023 for $20.00 and receive a sign on bonus for $20.00.My husbands membership was the premier with a cost of $110.00. I went to the ********* ** store and was informed they could not honor the offer since the membership was for the premier card service. I attempted to register for renewal on line afterwards. I too was unable to get the offer to register. I received another promotion offer for the same amounts when I returned home from the store! So I called BJS Headquarters. I explained that I have received multiple mailings of the exact offer addressed to my deceased husband, but the store advised they were unable to get the promotion to accept in their system. I explained that I tried to enroll for renewal as the promo letters suggested, but I was not able to get it to accept despite using 3 different codes.Unbelievably the representative so generously offered for me to reduce the renewal to $60 since I called and expressed that I had this issue. The promotion is clearly not being honored dispite the numerous letters catalogs and postcards quoting the same promotion. I believe this is a case of bait and switch and fraud.Membership was under ***************************** ***************************Business Response

In the later part of June, I upgraded my BJ's membership to "Elite" status. I was to receive on the Mastercard Credit Card - BJ's Perks Rewards Membership 5%Cash Back on BJ's Purchases, .10 cents/ gal on gas, 2% non BJ's gas stations and 1% on everything else. I have been asking since my first bill to see my rewards however, I never saw the 5% on the BJ's site. I have called almost every month to see this adjustment. I have checked BJ's ************* where the card was issued. My rewards were never the same amount from what I was told in conversations or on the BJ's site. In fact, the BJ's site showed $370.00 in rewards and recent email showed that I had $160.00 in rewards to use. I just came back from BJ's in ****************, **. Again, I was embarrassed. As you can see by attached receipt, I spent $293.84. My $160 as they advised I had to use, would NOT come up on the register to use!!!!! This is not the first time that this has happened, in fact it has happened several times in the past. I went to ***************** and they brought up my rewards on their computer. However, there was nothing they could do. I am so tired of contacting them, of course sent them an email today. I replied to ******************* have asked them to send me a check $160.00 or the larger amount which is actually owed ro me. **************** (BJ's ***********)Dec 4, 2022, 14:45 EST Hi ********,The total balance of awards available to use is $160.00 Thank you for being a loyal BJs Member. ****************BJ's *********** TeamBusiness Response

I purchased a microwave, refrigerator and stove from their online store. It was ordered in July. After several rescheduling delivery dates on their part they finally attempted to deliver the appliances. When they arrived in early November they were nasty and told me I needed to hire an installer which BJ's originally told me installation comes with the purchase. At that point I told them to take their appliances back and that I'd initiate a return. I called immediately and they told me I'd have my refund in 3-5 business days. That never happened. I've made 6 phone calls since then only to be told it's being taken care of. The last person I spoke to then told me that nothing has been done. Basically I've been going around in circles and nobody can help me get a refund of $2,798.37 for merchandise they've lost.Business Response
