Where to pay your Comenity Victoria's Secret card

You can pay your Comenity Victoria's Secret credit card bill online through the Comenity website or the Victoria's Secret mobile app. Both routes take you to the same account portal where you log in with your card number and password. You do not need to go through Victoria's Secret's main shopping site — the payment portal is separate.

The Comenity website is comenity.com. From there, look for "Log In" at the top of the page, then select "Victoria's Secret" from the list of card brands. The Victoria's Secret mobile app also has a payment option built in if you already have the app installed on your phone.

You can also pay by phone by calling the customer service number on the back of your card. A representative can process a payment over the phone, though you will need your card number and bank account or debit card information ready.

Key Takeaways

  • Log in at comenity.com or use the Victoria's Secret mobile app to pay online — both connect to the same account.
  • You will need your card number and password to access your account; if you do not have a password yet, you can create one during your first login.
  • Payments made before 8 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day usually post the same day; payments after that time or on weekends post the next business day.
  • You can set up automatic monthly payments so the same amount withdraws from your bank account on the same date each month.
  • Paying online costs nothing — there is no fee for using the Comenity portal or the app.

What information you need before you log in

To access your account online, you will need your Comenity Victoria's Secret card number and a password. If you have never logged in before, the system will ask you to create a password during your first visit. Write it down or save it somewhere you can find it later — you will need it every time you log in.

If you have forgotten your password, the login page has a "Forgot Password?" link that will walk you through resetting it. You will need to answer security questions or verify your identity using your email address or phone number on file.

If you do not have your card number handy, it is printed on the front of your physical card. If you have lost the card, call the number on your statement or contact Comenity customer service directly.

How long it takes for a payment to show up

Once you submit a payment online, it usually posts to your account within one business day. If you pay before 8 p.m. Eastern Time on a Monday through Friday, the payment typically posts that same day. Payments submitted after 8 p.m. Eastern Time or on weekends and holidays post on the next business day.

Even though the payment posts quickly, it may take a few extra days for the money to actually leave your bank account — that depends on your bank's processing time, not Comenity's. Check your bank account to confirm the withdrawal went through.

If you are paying to avoid a late fee, keep in mind that the due date is the date your payment must be received by Comenity, not the date you submit it. If your due date is tomorrow and you pay today after 8 p.m. Eastern Time, the payment will not post until the next day, which may be after the due date. Pay earlier in the day if you are cutting it close.

Setting up automatic payments

You can arrange for Comenity to withdraw the same amount from your bank account on the same date each month. This is called an automatic payment or autopay. To set it up, log into your account on comenity.com, go to the payment section, and look for an option to "Schedule a Payment" or "Set Up Autopay." You will need your bank account number and routing number, or a debit card number.

You can choose to pay your full statement balance, a fixed dollar amount, or just the minimum payment each month. If you choose a fixed amount, make sure it is at least the minimum payment shown on your statement, or your account will still be late. You can change or cancel the automatic payment at any time by logging back into your account.

Automatic payments are useful if you want to make sure you never miss a due date, but they do not reduce the interest you pay if you carry a balance. The payment still comes out of your checking account on the date you set, so make sure you have enough money in the account when that date arrives.

Paying from a different bank account or card

When you set up a payment online, you can use any bank account or debit card — it does not have to be the one you originally used to open the credit card account. During the payment process, you will enter the account or card number you want the money to come from, and Comenity will process it from there.

If you want to use a different bank account for automatic payments, you can update it in your account settings. Log in, find the payment or autopay section, and look for an option to add or change a bank account. You may need to verify the new account by confirming small deposits that Comenity sends to it first.

Do not pay your Comenity Victoria's Secret card using another credit card. Most credit card companies treat that as a cash advance and charge a fee plus a higher interest rate. Stick to bank accounts or debit cards.

What to do if your payment does not go through

If you submitted a payment and it did not post after one business day, log back into your account and check the payment history section. It will show you whether the payment is pending, posted, or failed. If it failed, the page usually explains why — often because the bank account or debit card number was entered incorrectly, or because there were not enough funds in the account.

If the payment failed, you can try again with the correct information. If you are not sure what went wrong, call the customer service number on the back of your card or on your statement. A representative can look up the failed payment and tell you exactly what happened.

If your due date has already passed and the payment failed, contact Comenity right away. Depending on how late the account is, you may be able to avoid a late fee if you pay when ready. The sooner you call, the better your chances.

Paying by mail or phone if you prefer not to use the website

If you do not want to pay online, you can mail a check or money order to the address printed on your statement. Write your account number on the check so Comenity knows which account to credit. Mail payments take longer to arrive and post — usually five to seven business days — so send it well before your due date.

You can also pay over the phone by calling the number on the back of your card. Have your card number and bank account or debit card information ready. Phone payments process the same way as online payments and post within one business day.

Neither mailing nor calling costs extra, but both are slower than paying online. If you are in a hurry to avoid a late fee, the website or app is your fastest option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pay my Comenity Victoria's Secret card through the regular Victoria's Secret website?

No. The Victoria's Secret shopping website does not have a payment portal. You must go to comenity.com or use the Victoria's Secret mobile app to pay your bill. The two sites are separate, even though the card is branded with Victoria's Secret.

What if I pay more than I owe?

The extra amount becomes a credit on your account. You can use it toward your next purchase or statement balance, or you can request that Comenity send you a refund check. To request a refund, call the number on the back of your card.

Do I have to create an online account to pay, or can I pay without logging in?

You need to create an account and log in to pay online. This is a one-time setup — after that, you can log in anytime to pay or check your balance. If you do not want to create an account, you can pay by phone or mail instead.

Is it safe to pay online?

Comenity uses encryption to protect your information when you pay online, the same security that banks use. Your account is safer online than mailing a check with your account number on it. If you are worried about a specific transaction, call customer service to confirm it went through.

What happens if I miss a payment?

If your payment does not arrive by the due date, your account becomes late. Comenity will charge a late fee (the amount varies) and may increase your interest rate. The longer the account stays late, the more damage it does to your credit score. If you realize you will miss the due date, call Comenity before it happens to discuss your options.
