Site Experience FeedbackJun 7, 2026
I have been a loyal Victoria’s Secret credit card holder and customer for more than 10 years, which is why this experience has been especially disappointing and frustrating.
I recently received a replacement Victoria’s Secret Mastercard, and I followed all required activation steps both online and over the phone. Despite successfully activating the card and confirming that my account is active with a zero balance, the card still does not work and will not allow me to make purchases.
As a long-time customer, I should not have to spend additional time troubleshooting a newly issued card that was properly activated. This issue has created unnecessary inconvenience, interrupted my ability to shop, and significantly diminished my confidence in the customer experience. What should have been a simple and seamless process instead became frustrating and time-consuming.
I strongly encourage Victoria’s Secret to review its card activation and account verification processes to ensure that customers are able to use newly issued cards immediately after activation. Customers should not be left wondering whether their card is active, whether there is a system error, or whether they need to contact multiple departments to resolve an issue that should not occur in the first place.
I value the Victoria’s Secret brand and have remained a customer for many years, but this experience has been disappointing. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and used to improve the activation process so that future customers do not experience the same inconvenience and frustration that I have encountered.
