Access your TJ Maxx credit card account through the Synchrony portal
The TJ Maxx credit card is issued by Synchrony Bank, not by TJ Maxx itself. This means you log in through Synchrony's website, not through tjmaxx.com. Go to mysynchrony.com and enter your username and password on the main login page. If you have not yet created an online account, you will need to set one up first using your card number and other identifying information.
Once you are logged in, you can view your balance, make payments, review your transaction history, and manage your account settings. The portal works the same way whether you opened your card in a TJ Maxx store or online.
Key Takeaways
- Log in at mysynchrony.com, not at tjmaxx.com, because Synchrony Bank issues the TJ Maxx credit card.
- You will need a username and password; if you do not have an account yet, you can create one using your card number and personal information.
- From your account, you can pay your bill, check your balance, view statements, and update your contact details.
- If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Username or Password" link on the login page to reset it by email or phone.
Create an online account if you do not have one yet
If you received your TJ Maxx credit card in the mail but have never logged in online, you will need to register first. On the Synchrony login page, look for a link that says "Register" or "Create an Account." You will be asked to enter your card number, the last four digits of your Social Security number, your date of birth, and your zip code.
After you submit this information, Synchrony will verify your identity. You will then create a username and password. Write down your username somewhere safe — you will need it every time you log in. The password should be at least 8 characters and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers.
Reset your password if you forget it
On the mysynchrony.com login page, click "Forgot Username or Password?" at the bottom. You will be asked to enter your card number and the last four digits of your Social Security number. Synchrony will then send you a link to reset your password by email or text message, depending on what you have on file.
Check the email address or phone number associated with your account. If you do not receive the reset link within a few minutes, check your spam folder. The link usually stays valid for 24 hours. Click it, create a new password, and you can log in right away.
Pay your bill through your online account
Once you are logged in, select "Make a Payment" or "Pay Now" from the main menu. You can pay your full balance, your minimum payment, or any amount in between. You can also schedule a payment for a future date if you want to pay before your due date arrives.
Synchrony accepts payments from a bank account (checking or savings) at no charge. You can also pay by debit card, but Synchrony may charge a fee for this method — the fee amount will be shown before you confirm the payment. Payments made before 8 p.m. Eastern Time usually post the same day.
View your statement and transaction history
Your account dashboard shows your current balance as soon as you log in. To see a full statement, click "Statements" or "View Statement" in the menu. You can read statements as PDF files or view them online. Synchrony keeps statements available for at least 24 months.
You can also filter your transaction history by date range or search for a specific purchase. This is useful if you need to check whether a charge posted or if you are looking for a receipt for a return.
Update your contact information and account settings
From your account settings, you can change your mailing address, email address, and phone number. You can also set up alerts — for example, you can ask Synchrony to text you when your balance reaches a certain amount or when a payment is due.
If you want to change your password, look for "Security" or "Change Password" in the settings menu. You will need to enter your current password before creating a new one. If you have set up two-factor authentication (a security code sent to your phone), you may be asked to verify your identity before making changes to sensitive settings.
Troubleshoot common login problems
If you see a message that your username or password is incorrect, make sure you are typing them exactly as you created them — they are case-sensitive. If you have tried multiple times and still cannot log in, use the "Forgot Username or Password" link instead of guessing.
If your account is locked after too many failed login attempts, wait 15 to 30 minutes before trying again. If you are still locked out, call the customer service number on the back of your TJ Maxx credit card. A representative can help you regain access without you having to reset your password.
If the Synchrony website itself is down or running slowly, try again in a few minutes. You can also call the number on your card to make a payment by phone or check your balance without logging in online.
Frequently Asked Questions
