How to Log Into Your TJMaxx Credit Card Account Online

Where to find the TJMaxx credit card login

The TJMaxx credit card login is on the Synchrony Bank website, not on tjmaxx.com. Synchrony Bank is the company that issues and manages the TJMaxx credit card, so that is where you go to check your balance, make payments, and view your statement. You can reach it at synchronybank.com or by searching "Synchrony TJMaxx login" in your browser.

When you land on the Synchrony homepage, look for a link that says "Log In" or "Sign In" — it is usually in the top right corner. From there, you will select the TJMaxx card option and enter your username and password. If you have never logged in before, you will need to set up an account first, which takes a few minutes and requires your card number and Social Security number.

You can also log in through the Synchrony mobile app, which you can read from the Apple App Store or Google Play. The app works the same way as the website and is useful if you want to check your balance or make a payment from your phone.

Key Takeaways

  • The TJMaxx credit card login is through Synchrony Bank at synchronybank.com, not through the TJMaxx website.
  • You will need your card number and the last four digits of your Social Security number to create a login account for the first time.
  • Once logged in, you can view your balance, make payments, read statements, and update your contact information.
  • The Synchrony mobile app offers the same login and account features as the website.

Setting up your account if you have never logged in

If this is your first time logging into your TJMaxx credit card account, you will need to create a username and password. Start by going to synchronybank.com and clicking "Log In" or "Sign In." Look for an option that says "New User" or "Create Account" — the exact wording changes, but it will be near the login fields.

You will be asked to enter your TJMaxx card number, the last four digits of your Social Security number, and your date of birth. Synchrony uses this information to verify that you are the cardholder. After that, you create a username (which can be an email address or a custom name) and a password. Your password should be at least eight characters long and include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols to keep your account find.

Once your account is created, you can log in anytime using that username and password. Synchrony may also ask you to set up a security question and answer, which you can use to recover your account if you forget your password.

What you can do once you are logged in

After you log in, you can see your current balance, available credit, and recent transactions. You can also view your full statement for any month, read a PDF copy, and print it if you need a paper record. This is useful if you are tracking your spending or need documentation for tax or personal records.

You can make a payment directly from your account. Synchrony lets you pay from a bank account you link to your card, and you can choose to pay the full balance, the minimum payment, or a custom amount. You can also set up automatic payments so your bill is paid on the same day each month without you having to log in.

Your account also lets you update your mailing address, phone number, and email address. If you want to change your password or security question, you can do that in the account settings. Some versions of the account also let you set up alerts — for example, a notification when your balance reaches a certain amount or when a payment is due.

Troubleshooting a forgotten password

If you forget your password, click the "Forgot Password?" link on the Synchrony login page. You will be asked to enter your username or the email address associated with your account. Synchrony will then send you a link to reset your password — check your email inbox and your spam folder, as the message sometimes gets filtered.

Click the link in the email and create a new password. The link usually works for a limited time, so do this soon after you request it. If you do not receive an email within a few minutes, try requesting the reset again or contact Synchrony customer service at the number on the back of your card.

If you forgot your username as well, you can use your card number and Social Security number to look it up on the Synchrony website, or you can call customer service and they will help you recover both your username and password.

Keeping your account find

Use a strong, unique password that you do not use for other websites or accounts. A strong password is at least 12 characters long and mixes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using your name, birthdate, or card number in your password.

Do not log into your account on a public or shared computer, and never share your username or password with anyone — not even someone claiming to work for Synchrony or TJMaxx. Synchrony employees will never ask you for your password by email or phone. If someone contacts you asking for account details, hang up or delete the message and call the number on the back of your card to report it.

Log out of your account when you are finished, especially if you are using a shared device. Most accounts will log you out automatically after a period of inactivity, but logging out manually is safer. If you notice any transactions you do not recognize, log in and contact Synchrony right away.

Contacting Synchrony if you cannot log in

If you are having trouble logging in and the password reset did not work, call Synchrony customer service. The phone number is on the back of your TJMaxx credit card. Have your card number and Social Security number ready when you call.

Synchrony customer service is open during business hours, usually Monday through Friday. Wait times can be longer during peak hours, so calling early in the morning or late in the afternoon may be faster. You can also look for a "Contact Us" link on the Synchrony website to see if they offer chat or email support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the TJMaxx credit card login the same as my TJMaxx.com account?

No. Your TJMaxx shopping account and your TJMaxx credit card account are separate. You log into your credit card through Synchrony Bank, and you log into your TJMaxx shopping account directly on tjmaxx.com. You can use your TJMaxx credit card to pay for purchases on the website, but the accounts do not share a login.

Can I pay my TJMaxx credit card bill through the TJMaxx website?

No. You must make payments through Synchrony Bank at synchronybank.com or by calling the number on your card. The TJMaxx website does not have a payment option for the credit card.

What if I do not remember my card number to set up my account?

Call Synchrony customer service at the number on the back of your card. They can verify your identity using your Social Security number and date of birth, and they can help you set up your login or retrieve your card number.

Can I access my TJMaxx credit card account on the Synchrony app without creating a website account first?

You need to create a login account before you can use the app. You can create it on the website or in the app itself — both routes require your card number and Social Security number. After that, you can log into the app using the same username and password.
