      I applied and was approved for their GM Rewards Credit card on August 13, 2022. I applied for the card based on the advertisement of ****** points (i.e. $150) to my GM Rewards account #3-94338579474 for meeting $1000 in spend in the first 3 months of card ownership. I met the conditions on September 3, ****. Despite numerous supplications with GS and GM, neither party has resolved the issue nor provided me my points. Ive been told numerous times that I am eligible to receive the bonus, but they keep lying and stating that I will be contacted and receive the spend bonus with my next statement, which invariably comes with no bonus. Both GS and GM refuse to resolve the issue.

      I received an email From: Marcus by Goldman Sachs Savings <********************************************>Same day transfers are now possible Customer since: March 2019 Hi *****,Weve made an improvement at Marcus that could make moving your money easier:When you schedule a transfer of $100,000 or less by 12 pm ET on a business day, Marcus will complete the transfer by 5 pm ET that day.Theres no extra step, no extra box to check. You schedule the transfer at marcus.com or on the Marcus app, and we do the rest.This is also at ************************************************* Transfer funds between your Marcus savings accounts and a linked external bank account. Marcus will complete transfers of $100,000 or less made through Marcus by 12 pm ET on a business day, by 5 pm ET that day. I confirmed in November 2022 thru phone call with a Marcus rep that the $100,000 limit was per transfer, not per day.On 11-23-2022, before 10am EST (2hours before the cutoff time), I authorized at marcus.com 3 ACH transfers of less than $50,000 each out of my marcus savings.My external bank allamerica.com (apy ****%) did NOT receive the funds until Friday 11-25-2022. I had called and alerted allamerica.com to watch for these funds, but they DID NOT ARRIVE UNTIL Friday 11-25-22, 2days later.I earned 0% interest for those days. I believe an issue was the delay caused by a call I received from a Marcus rep at ~ 11:45 am est wed 11-23-22, to discuss if I really wanted to move my funds out of Marcus and why I was doing this. I explained to the rep to please get these transfers submitted ASAP as it was then minutes until the cutoff time. He insisted on continuing the conversation.I called Marcus many times on 12-25-22 and in the following week, waited thru long hold times, & requested the 4% int of $34.18 Marcus sup ******* at Fri 11-25-22 said a credit could be given,case# ************. This request was denied.A rep said marcus did not need to honor the email nor the faqs. I am requesting the $34.18 credit here.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Marcus by Goldman-Sachs has not honored info they sent to me by email and that is currently posted on their website.

      Marcus by Goldman-Sachs is flagrantly ignoring posted and emailed details concerning offers they made.

      I do not accept their explanation.

      Please tie this info to the original complaint submission. I still request a credit of $34.18 to Marcus account savings # ************.

      I have a GM rewards credit card of which servicing was transferred to Marcus by Goldman Sachs. In December 2022 I attmepted to make a payment to the credit card account and the payment system was down. I left a message on their chat system and recieved a reply a day later. My account was then given a late payment fee due to the Marcus systems inability to process my payment.I brought this up with their Chat system online and was directed to call their service representatives. I called their service representatives and escalated it to a manager, which stated my late fee could not be waived. I believe this is an unfair business practice as the reason palyment was late is due to Marcus not being able to process payment.My fear is they will report the issue Marcus caused to credit agencies as their wiaver review process can take between ***** days.I would like the fee immediately waived.

      Goldman Sachs Bank *** (the Bank) received the above-referenced complaint related to the ** Card via the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Complaint Portal on December 8, 2022. We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised by ***************************** (the Customer) related to payment system issue, credit reporting and a late fee.
      The Bank conducted an investigation and confirmed no bank error. There were no recorded system outages on or around the Customers due date of December 2, 2022, that prevented payments from being processed. The Customer chatted in on December ****** and was incorrectly informed there was an error with the system on December 5, 2022. A payment was not received by the due date of December 2,2022, resulting in a late fee of $40.00. To avoid late fees, a payment for the minimum payment due needs to be received before the due date. As a courtesy the Bank has provided a onetime statement credit of the late fee of $40.00 on December 14, 2022.
      Accounts are not reported late to the credit reporting agencies unless an account is 30 or more days past due. The account has not been reported late, as a payment was received before the 30-day time frame of being past due.

      Based on the above details, we kindly request this complaint to be closed.

      On November 1, 2022, I attempted to pay my monthly minimum payment. The online account system said no payment was due. I clicked to pay, and the system did not provide a minimum payment amount due and again said no payment was due. I've made multiple attempts to resolve with customer service in chat and by phone. A ticket was filed and a supervisor named Claire called me back and left a message with an incorrect callback number. I chatted in and found again that the company will not waive the illegitimate fee and refuses to allow me to speak to anyone who can.

      I want the fee waived as it is not owed. Had the system indicated I owed a payment, I would have paid it.
