Important Details

• Type the web address yourself or use the official app, so you don’t end up on a lookalike site.

• Synchrony will never need you to share your password or a one-time code with someone who contacts you first.

• Many Synchrony cards are store or brand cards, so the exact activation steps can differ a little. Check the letter that came with your card.

• Once the card is active, set up an online account so you can view your balance and payments.

Common Problems

• Card details not accepted: Check each digit again and make sure the card was issued to you, then try once more.

• Activation page not loading: Switch browsers, clear your cache, or try again on your phone.

• Card not arrived or looks damaged: Call the customer service number printed on your card statement or the official website, and ask for a replacement.
