Site Experience FeedbackAug 12, 2026
I’m extremely disappointed with my experience today. While shopping, the two promotional cosmetic bags were automatically shown in my cart as a free gift with my qualifying purchase. My cart was approximately $167, and my daughter saw the gifts in the cart and became excited about them.
It was only when I proceeded to checkout that the gifts were removed. I contacted Customer Service to understand why and was then told that the promotion required payment with a Victoria’s Secret Credit Card.
My issue is not simply that the promotion has a credit card requirement. My issue is that this restriction was not made clear when the promotional gifts were presented and added to my cart. Showing customers that they have received a gift and then removing it at checkout unless they use a specific store credit card is a very frustrating and misleading customer experience.
I repeatedly asked the customer service representative, Julie Ann, to connect me with a supervisor. My request was not addressed, and the chat eventually ended. I attempted to reconnect afterward and was unable to get assistance.
I was prepared to spend approximately $167 today. Because of this experience, I decided to significantly reduce my purchase and buy only the items I actually needed.
I have been a Victoria’s Secret customer and expected much better communication and customer service. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, particularly regarding how credit-card-exclusive promotions are displayed to customers and how escalation requests are handled.
