Where to send your Victoria's Secret credit card payment
Victoria's Secret credit card payments go to Comenity Bank, the company that issues and manages the card on behalf of Victoria's Secret. You can pay online through your Comenity account, by phone, by mail, or in person at a Victoria's Secret store. The fastest and most direct route is the online payment portal, which processes payments the same business day if submitted before the cutoff time — usually 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
Your monthly statement will show the Comenity mailing address if you choose to pay by check. The statement also lists the phone number for phone payments: 1-866-408-8285. When you call, have your account number and the amount you want to pay ready. In-store payments at Victoria's Secret locations are also an option, though not all stores offer this service — call ahead to confirm.

Setting up online payments through Comenity
To pay online, visit the Comenity Bank website or log into your account through the Victoria's Secret website. You will need your username and password, or you can create an account if you do not have one yet. Once logged in, select "Make a Payment" and choose whether to pay the full balance, the minimum payment, or a custom amount.
You can pay from a checking or savings account linked to your Comenity profile, or use a debit card. Comenity does not charge a fee for payments made from a bank account, but some debit card payments may incur a small fee — the system will show you the cost before you confirm. Payments submitted before 8 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day post the same day; payments after that time or on weekends post the next business day.
Phone and mail payment options
Phone payments are processed by an automated system or a customer service representative. Call 1-866-408-8285 and follow the prompts to enter your account number and payment amount. The system will confirm the payment and provide a confirmation number. Phone payments typically post within one to two business days.
For mail payments, write a check or money order payable to Comenity Bank and include your account number on the check. Mail it to the address printed on your statement under "Payment Address" — do not send it to a Victoria's Secret store. Mail payments take five to seven business days to reach the processing center and post to your account. To avoid late fees, mail your payment at least one week before your due date.
Understanding your due date and minimum payment
Your due date appears on the front of your monthly statement, usually 20 to 25 days after the statement closing date. Paying at least the minimum payment by this date keeps your account in good standing and avoids a late fee, which is typically $25 to $40 depending on your account history. If you miss the due date, interest will accrue on any remaining balance at your card's annual percentage rate (APR).
The minimum payment is calculated as a percentage of your balance plus any interest and fees — it is usually between 1% and 3% of what you owe. Paying only the minimum means you will carry the balance longer and pay more in interest over time. Paying the full statement balance by the due date avoids interest charges entirely.
What to do if you cannot pay by the due date
If you know you will miss your due date, contact Comenity Bank before the date arrives. Call 1-866-408-8285 and explain your situation. While Comenity cannot waive a late fee that has already been charged, a representative may be able to discuss a payment plan or note your account if this is your first missed payment. Some accounts are may be able to access for a one-time courtesy waiver, though this is not may provide.
Paying even a partial amount before the due date is better than paying nothing, because it reduces the balance that will accrue interest. If you are struggling with the full balance, focus on paying the minimum to avoid the late fee, then pay down the remaining balance as you are able. Late payments stay on your credit report for seven years, so preventing them is worth the effort.
Automatic payments and payment reminders
You can set up automatic payments through your Comenity account to pay a fixed amount on a date you choose each month. This is useful if you want to may support you never miss a due date. Log into your account, go to "Manage Automatic Payments," and select the amount and date. You can change or cancel automatic payments at any time through the same menu.
Comenity also sends email reminders before your due date if you have provided an email address on your account. You can adjust reminder settings in your account preferences. Combining automatic payments with email reminders creates a safety net that catches missed payments before they happen.
