Comenity Bank handles credit card accounts for dozens of retail and store brands. If you carry a card issued by Comenity — whether it's a store card, a co-branded card, or a private label card — you can pay your bill over the phone using their automated system or by speaking to a representative.
The main payment line is 1-800-677-0571. This number works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You do not need to wait for business hours to make a payment.
Have your card number, PIN or last four digits of your Social Security number, and the amount you want to pay ready before you call. The system will walk you through the steps once you're connected.

What information you need before calling
Gather these details so the call moves quickly and you don't have to hunt for anything mid-conversation:
- Your Comenity credit card number
- Your PIN (if you've set one up) or the last four digits of your Social Security number
- The payment amount you want to send
- Your bank account number and routing number if you're paying from a checking or savings account
If you're paying from a debit card or another credit card, you'll need that card's number instead of a bank account. The system will ask which payment method you prefer once you're in the automated menu.
How the automated payment system works
When you call 1-800-677-0571, you'll reach an automated system first. Listen to the menu options and press the number that corresponds to making a payment. The system will ask you to enter your card number using your phone keypad.
After you've entered your card number, the system will ask you to verify your identity. You can do this by entering your PIN if you have one set up, or by providing the last four digits of your Social Security number. This step confirms you're the cardholder or an authorized user.
Next, you'll tell the system how much you want to pay and which account the payment should come from. Review the details carefully before confirming. Once you confirm, the system will give you a confirmation number — write this down or take a screenshot for your records.
When your payment will post
Payments made before 8 p.m. Eastern time on a business day usually post the same day. Payments made after 8 p.m. Eastern or on weekends and holidays typically post the next business day.
Even though the payment posts quickly, it may take a day or two for the amount to show as available credit on your account. This is normal and does not mean the payment didn't go through — the confirmation number you received proves it did.
If you're paying to avoid a late fee, call early enough in the day to may support your payment posts before your due date. If your due date is today or tomorrow, ask to speak to a representative who may be able to note your payment in the system right away.
Speaking to a representative instead of using the automated system
If you prefer to talk to a person or have questions about your account, stay on the line after the automated menu starts or press the option for customer service. A representative will pick up during business hours, which are typically Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern, and Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern.
Representatives can help you set up a payment, answer questions about your balance or due date, discuss payment plans if you're behind, or address disputes. They can also help if you've forgotten your PIN or need to update your contact information.
Wait times are usually shorter early in the morning or mid-week. If you reach a long queue, you can hang up and use the automated system instead, or call back at a different time.
Other ways to pay your Comenity card
Calling is one option, but you may find it faster to pay online or through a mobile app. Log into your account on the card issuer's website — this is not Comenity's website, but the website of the store or brand that issued your card. Most issuers let you make a one-time payment or set up automatic payments from there.
If you don't remember the website, check the back of your card. The customer service number printed there will connect you to the right place, and the representative can direct you to the online portal or help you set up a payment over the phone.
You can also mail a check to the address shown on your statement, though this takes longer and should only be used if you can't pay by phone or online. Include your account number on the check so the payment is credited correctly.
What to do if you can't reach Comenity or have a problem
If the phone line is down or you're having trouble completing a payment, try again in a few minutes. Technical issues are rare but do happen occasionally.
If you've tried multiple times and still can't get through, use the online payment option instead. Most card issuers maintain a website and app even when the phone line is temporarily unavailable.
If you made a payment and the confirmation number was issued, your payment went through even if you didn't see an when ready confirmation on your account. Do not make a second payment. Wait one business day, then log into your account online to confirm the payment posted. If it hasn't appeared after two business days, call the customer service number on the back of your card and provide your confirmation number.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fee to pay by phone?
No. Comenity Bank does not charge a fee for paying by phone using the automated system or by speaking to a representative. Some third-party payment services charge fees, but calling the number on your card or statement is always free.
Can I pay someone else's Comenity card bill?
You can pay if you're an authorized user on the account. If you're not an authorized user but want to make a payment on behalf of someone else, you'll need to speak to a representative. They may ask for the cardholder's permission or require you to be listed as an authorized payer on the account.
What if I don't have a PIN?
You can use the last four digits of your Social Security number instead. If you want to set up a PIN for future calls, a representative can help you do that during a call, or you can set one up online through your account portal.
Can I schedule a payment for a future date?
The automated system typically processes payments when ready. If you want to schedule a payment for a specific future date, speak to a representative. They can set up a payment to post on the date you choose, which is useful if you want to time it with your paycheck.
What if my payment didn't go through?
If you received a confirmation number, your payment did go through. Check your account the next business day to confirm it posted. If your confirmation number was not issued and the call disconnected, the payment was not sent — call back and try again. Never assume a payment went through without a confirmation number.
