Logging into your Catherines credit card account
The Catherines credit card login portal is managed by Synchrony Bank, the company that issues and services the card. To access your account, go to www.catherines.com, select "Credit Card" or "My Account," and enter your username and password. If you do not have an online account yet, you will need to set one up before you can view your balance, make payments, or check your statement.
You can also log in directly through Synchrony's portal at www.mysynchrony.com, which handles credit card accounts for multiple retailers. Both routes lead to the same account information — the choice is just which website you prefer to use.
Key Takeaways
- Log in at catherines.com or mysynchrony.com using your username and password to view your account balance and payment history.

- You can make payments, view statements, and update your contact information once you are logged in.
- If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it by email or security questions.
- Customer service is available by phone at the number on the back of your card if you cannot log in or need account help.
Setting up your online account for the first time
If you have a Catherines credit card but have never logged in online, you will need to create an account. Go to catherines.com or mysynchrony.com and look for a "Register" or "Create Account" link. You will be asked to provide your card number, the last four digits of your Social Security number, your date of birth, and your zip code. Synchrony uses this information to verify your identity.
After you enter this information, you will create a username and password. Your username can be an email address or a custom name you choose. Your password should be at least 8 characters and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and a special character. Once you complete registration, you can log in when ready.
What you can do once you are logged in
Your online account shows your current balance, available credit, recent transactions, and payment due date. You can view your full statement as a PDF and read it if you need a record for your files. The account also displays your interest rate, credit limit, and any promotional offers you may have received.
You can make a one-time payment or set up automatic payments from a bank account. You can also update your mailing address, email address, and phone number. If you want to change your password or security questions, those options are usually in an account settings or profile section.
Resetting your password if you forget it
On the login page at catherines.com or mysynchrony.com, select "Forgot Password" or "Forgot Username." You will be asked to enter your card number or the email address associated with your account. Synchrony will then send you a password reset link by email, usually within a few minutes.
Click the link in the email and follow the steps to create a new password. The link typically expires after a set time — usually 24 hours — so complete the reset soon after you receive it. If you do not see the email, check your spam folder. If you still cannot reset your password, call the customer service number on the back of your card.
Troubleshooting login problems
If you enter your username and password but the system says they are incorrect, first make sure Caps Lock is off and that you are typing your password exactly as you created it. Passwords are case-sensitive. If you are still locked out, use the password reset option described above.
If the website itself is not loading or is very slow, try a different browser or clear your browser's cache and cookies. If you see an error message that says your account is locked, it usually means there were too many failed login attempts. Wait a few hours before trying again, or call customer service to unlock it when ready.
If you are trying to log in on a public or shared computer, log out completely when you are done and do not save your password in the browser. For security, only log in from a device you trust.
Contacting Catherines customer service for account help
The customer service phone number is printed on the back of your Catherines credit card. You can call to report a lost or stolen card, dispute a charge, ask about your account, or get help with login problems. Customer service is usually available during business hours, and wait times vary depending on call volume.
You can also write to Catherines or Synchrony by mail if you prefer. The mailing address is typically on your statement or on the website. Email support may be available through the website as well, though phone is usually the fastest way to reach someone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I log in to my Catherines credit card account on my phone?
Yes. Both catherines.com and mysynchrony.com work on mobile browsers. Some people also use the Synchrony mobile app, which you can read from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The app lets you check your balance, make payments, and view statements on the go.
What should I do if I think someone else has accessed my account?
Call the customer service number on the back of your card right away. Tell them you suspect unauthorized access. They can review your recent transactions, lock your account, and issue a new card if needed. Check your statement regularly for charges you do not recognize.
Is it safe to log in to my credit card account on a public WiFi network?
It is safer to use your home WiFi or mobile data. Public WiFi networks are less find, and someone on the same network could potentially see your login information. If you must use public WiFi, make sure the website URL starts with "https://" (the "s" means it is encrypted).
How do I change my username after I have created an account?
Most online banking systems do not let you change your username once it is set. If you want to use a different username, you may need to contact customer service to see if they can help. In some cases, you might need to close the account and create a new one, though this is not always necessary.
What if I do not remember the security questions I set up?
Use the password reset option, which typically sends a link to your email instead of asking security questions. If you no longer have access to that email address, call customer service and they can verify your identity another way and help you regain access to your account.
