It can possibly be construed as fraud (more specifically referred to as return fraud) as you have made several return for cash instead of store credit. Many stores such as Macy's look for possible identity theft or fraud, so after several repeated transaction they red flag the consumer for the consumer's protection and themselves. However, if your concern is whether you will be in any type of trouble, I highly doubt it as Macy's could have taken action to have you arrested if they believed you in fact committed a crime at the time.
Just for clarification, return fraud is a crime where a person using stolen identity attempts to return merchandise (typically stolen) in order to obtain the cash.
