Step 3: Step-by-Step Guide to Online Payments
Let's break down the most popular method: paying online.
Sub-heading: Paying via the Synchrony Bank Website (Full Account Access)
Navigate to the Official Website: Open your web browser and go to the TJX Rewards credit card login page, which is typically managed through Synchrony Bank. You can often find this by searching for "TJX Rewards Credit Card login" or "Synchrony Bank TJX login." The official URL is usually
tjxrewards.comormysynchrony.com.Log In to Your Account:
If you already have an account, enter your User ID and Password.
If you are a first-time user, click on "Register Your Card" or a similar link. You will need to provide your card number, the last four digits of your Social Security Number, and your date of birth to set up your online access. Follow the prompts to create your User ID and Password.
Locate the Payment Section: Once logged in, look for a section or button labeled "Make a Payment," "Pay Bill," "Payments," or "Account Summary."
Choose Your Payment Amount:
You'll typically have options to pay the Statement Balance, the Minimum Payment Due, or an Other Amount.
Always aim to pay your statement balance in full to avoid interest charges. If you can't, pay at least the minimum to avoid late fees.
Select or Add a Payment Method:
If you've paid online before, your bank account information might be saved. You can select it.
If you're paying for the first time or want to use a different account, you'll need to add a new payment method. This usually involves entering your bank account's Routing Number and Account Number.
Double-check these numbers carefully to prevent payment issues!
Choose Your Payment Date: You can usually schedule a payment for the current day or a future date. It's wise to schedule it a few days before your due date to ensure it processes on time.
Review and Confirm: Before submitting, carefully review all the details – the payment amount, the bank account information, and the payment date.
Submit Your Payment: Click the "Confirm," "Submit," or "Pay" button. You should receive a confirmation message or email. Keep this for your records!

Write a Check or Money Order: Make it payable to "Synchrony Bank" or "TJX Rewards." Do not send cash through the mail.
Fill Out the Payment Coupon: Detach the payment coupon from your statement and fill it out completely, including your account number.
Mail Your Payment: Place your check/money order and the payment coupon in an envelope. The mailing address for payments should be clearly stated on your billing statement. A common address for Synchrony Bank credit card payments is:

Step 5: Setting Up Auto-Pay (For Future Convenience)

Choose the bank account you want payments to be debited from.
Select the payment date (e.g., "on the due date," "5 days before due date").
Review and Confirm: Double-check all the details before activating auto-pay.
