Adding Macy's as a Payee: Bank of America

I can't figure out how to add Macy's as a payee for Bank of America Online Banking.

I emailed them and their response is worthless.

My email:
I am trying to add Macy's on automatic Bill Pay, but it
won't accept my account # format.

Can you tell me what format you are looking for?

How many numbers in the account number? Do you require dashes. Do I need to enter the checksum #?
Thanks,
--Steve

Has anyone succesfully added Macy's as a payee on Bank of America's bill pay system?

Part of the problem is that my Macy's bill has two account #'s on it, one has an extra check digit. I tried both, neither are accepted by Bank of America.

Why did Macy's have to buy Filene's? Why?
