Macy's or Bed bath and beyond?

Hi ladies....I need to start setting up my registry...Should I use Macy's or Bed Bath and Beyond? Who are you using? Pros and cons? Thanks sooo much going crazy over here.

I have both but most of my stuff is on macys because they give you a gift card with a portion of the sales that are bought from your registry after your wedding.

I have both also. I wish I would have registered at Macy's first because of the gift card you receive but I went to BBB first and I'm too lazy to move stuff over to the Macy's registry. lol

I have only a few items on Macy's right now but I will be adding to there and I'm going to register at BBB.

Both. A few friends told me they didn't like the selection at Macys but I actually really enjoyed registering there more than BBB. I moved a lot of stuff over/switched stuff to Macys from BBB. But I have both. and target! Just because I love it there :)

Def both!! I'm registering for all my kitchen/bath stuff at BBB but all my house stuff (sheets, decorative items, etc) at Macys. I love that you get the gift card from Macys, but I know for the people who are buying the gifts, they like using the coupons at BBB. So, it's a win for everyone!

I am only at BBB- I have heard that Macy's isnt so great with returns, and honestly, I have found everything I need at BBB. I was originally planning on 2 registries, but I have all my stuff on the one, so I decided against it!

definitely this! but make sure you ask about the cash back, because my sister wasn't told about it and lost out =/

You have to open a Macy's card and they credit you that amount about a year after your wedding.. you get 5% cash back on every purchase made towards your registry...

I actually added a couple of things to my registry that my sister wanted for Christmas, and then bought off my registry so that I get $$ back lol! I'm so cheap hah

We used both. I've been pretty disappointed with BBB lately, they started being really particular with their coupons and also a lot of the big items we registered for there was because we could use a coupon but they don't allow you to use them on certain items anymore. Such a pain considering their coupons were the whole incentive for us to register there in the first place.

I used both, but moved most of my items from BBB to Macys because of the gift card.

I used both but moved basically my whole registry to BB&B. I found that stuff I registered for at Macys discontinued EXTREMELY quickly. Also, most of my guests love a bargain so I knew that they would be more inclined to shop at BB&B b/c of the coupons.
