How to Pay Your TJ Maxx Bill Online and by Mail

Where to pay your TJ Maxx bill

TJ Maxx bills come from Synchrony Bank, which manages the TJ Maxx credit card program. You can pay your bill through Synchrony's website, by phone, by mail, or in person at a TJ Maxx store. The method you choose depends on how quickly you need the payment to post and whether you prefer online or offline payment.

If you have a TJ Maxx credit card, your bill is separate from any in-store purchases you make with cash or a debit card. Only charges made on the TJ Maxx card itself appear on this bill.

Key Takeaways

• TJ Maxx credit card bills are managed by Synchrony Bank, not by TJ Maxx directly, so you pay Synchrony, not the store.
• You can pay online at Synchrony's website, by phone at 1-866-839-8409, by mail to the address on your statement, or in person at a TJ Maxx store.
• Online and phone payments typically post within one business day, while mail payments take seven to ten business days to reach Synchrony.
• Your minimum payment and due date appear on your monthly statement, and paying late can result in a late fee and interest charges on your remaining balance.

Paying online through Synchrony

The fastest way to pay is through Synchrony's website. Go to mysynchrony.com, click "Sign In," and enter your username and password. If you do not have an online account, you can create one by clicking "Enroll Now" and providing your card number, Social Security number, and date of birth.

Once logged in, select "Make a Payment" and choose your payment amount. You can pay your full balance, your minimum payment, or any amount in between. Synchrony will ask you to confirm your payment method — either a bank account (ACH transfer) or a debit card. Payments made before 8 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day typically post the next business day.

If you prefer not to create an online account, you can make a one-time payment without logging in by visiting mysynchrony.com and selecting "Pay as Guest." You will need your card number and the last four digits of your Social Security number.

Paying by phone

Call Synchrony at 1-866-839-8409 to pay by phone. A representative will verify your identity and ask how much you want to pay. You can pay from a checking or savings account, or use a debit card. The call typically takes five to ten minutes.

Phone payments are available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern Time, and Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time. Payments made during business hours post the next business day.

Paying by mail

Your monthly statement includes a payment coupon and a mailing address. Write a check or money order for the amount you owe, include the coupon, and mail it to the address printed on your statement. Do not send cash.

Mail payments take seven to ten business days to arrive and post. If your due date is coming up soon, mail is not the fastest option. Include your account number on the check itself in case the coupon gets separated during processing.

Paying in person at TJ Maxx

You can pay your TJ Maxx credit card bill at the customer service desk in any TJ Maxx store. Bring your card or a form of ID, and let the associate know you want to make a payment. They will process it on the spot, and you will receive a receipt.

In-store payments are convenient if you are already shopping, but they do not post faster than online or phone payments. The payment still goes through Synchrony's system and typically posts within one business day.

What happens if you miss a payment

If your payment does not arrive by the due date on your statement, Synchrony will charge a late fee — the amount varies but is typically $25 to $40 for the first late payment. Your interest rate may also increase, and the missed payment will appear on your credit report after 30 days.

If you know you will miss a due date, contact Synchrony before the date arrives. Representatives can sometimes work out a payment arrangement or waive a late fee if this is your first missed payment. Call 1-866-839-8409 during business hours to discuss your options.

Understanding your statement

Your TJ Maxx credit card statement shows your opening balance, all charges and credits from the past month, your minimum payment, your due date, and your interest rate. The minimum payment is usually 1 to 3 percent of your total balance, but paying only the minimum means you will pay interest on the rest.

If you carry a balance from month to month, Synchrony charges interest on that balance starting the day after your statement closes. The interest rate (APR) is printed on your statement and can range from 18 percent to 27 percent depending on your credit history. Paying your full balance by the due date avoids interest charges entirely.
