Macy's (M) revealed in its first quarter earnings report that more consumers with Macy's credit cards are falling behind on their payments.

The company's credit card revenue was $117 million in its first quarter, a decline of $45 million from the prior year. This figure signals a weakening consumer as inflation remains sticky and wallets tighten.
