Macy's Registry Dream Fund

futuremrsshapard, on January 26, 2017 at 3:12 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 25

I recently went to Macy's to set up our registry when the woman helping asked if I had set up the dream fund, I told her no I hadn't and that I didn't know what it was. She then hooked it up to my account and handed me a card and said okay here you go. I still had no idea what it was except that I was given a card for it. I later looked it up and it's basically a spot for people to leave money on the gift card, I obviously do not want this so have been calling the past two days and keep being told that they division who handles the dream fund is closed.... who is closed mid week I have no idea. Just wanted others to learn from my mistake (: I'm quite annoyed at this point. Lol

    Can you go online and delete it from your registry?

    my target registry automatically added gift cards and I didnt know til I went to manage the registry online and saw it. I was able to delete it though.

    I don't understand why you wouldn't want the gift card?

    Sarah C because registering for cash/gift cards/honeymoons is super tacky.

    They tried to do this twice to me at macys its so annoying. I told them no because i would rather have the gifts than people putting money on a macys giftcard. if that were the case i would prefer regular cash not have it be tied to a store

    Because she doesn't want to be rude/tacky and ask people for money.

    @Cassie Can you try to go back into the store that added it and have them remove it?

    I tried to get rid of the dream fund they set up for me and the employee I was working with wouldn't do it. They say it's set up to make store gift cards easier for you. Ideally, a guest would come in and say "I want to buy a gift card for ______ who is registered here." Instead of the bride and groom getting multiple gift cards, Macy's loads everything onto that one card. But I've got to be honest, not a single guest of ours did it. They all bought a normal gift card (didn't mention my registry) and that was that.

    Yeah I will have to go in there this weekend to have it taken off! It's definitely annoying that no one will talk to me on the phone though.

    Update: currently on the phone with someone removing it, hoorraayy

    Amazon automatically added gift cards to my registry too. I deleted them so fast.

    Ahh same thing happened to FH and I when we registered at Macy's a couple weeks ago. I will have to call customer service or go in and have them remove it! They sold me the idea as if it wasn't an option, since I couldn't delete it online I figured it couldn't be removed and was "built-in". So sneaky and annoying.

    It's not asking people for money...It's meant for IF people choose to purchase you a gift card instead of a gift it all gets put onto a single card for you so you aren't trying to keep track of multiple cards....ETA-i dont think its ASKING for a gift card...my understanding is if someone purchases you a giftcard and mentions its for someone who is registered the have the option of putting it on the dream fund card..

    Oh no kaitlyn that stinks!!!

    Yes I agree Mrs. K, I wouldn't be bothered by the option if I saw it on someone's registry but no sense in taking the chance. & tbh I just really would like what is on my registry or if a guest would prefer a cash gift, it to not be tied to one place.
