What is the Sears Card and how it works
The Sears Card is a store card issued by Synchrony Bank that can be used at Sears and Kmart stores and on sears.com. It is designed for everyday purchases and often offers financing offers on larger items. Your account is managed by Synchrony and accessed through your sears.com profile. Making a Sears Card payment on time helps maintain your account in good standing and supports responsible use of credit.

Paperless billing and account statements
Choosing paperless billing helps you receive your statement by email, which is more secure and easier to reference for payments and records. In your account, you can view your current balance, recent purchases, past due amounts, and due dates. Reviewing statements regularly supports accurate Sears Card payment and helps you manage your overall finances.

Always confirm that funds are available before the scheduled payment.

FAQ
Reader questions
Can I pay my Sears Card with another credit card?
Typically, Sears Card payments must be made using a bank account, debit card, or credit card issued by a bank. You generally cannot use one credit card to pay another credit card through Sears Card payment channels. Check with Synchrony for acceptable payment options and any restrictions.
How long does an online Sears Card payment take to post?
Many online Sears Card payments post immediately or within 1–3 business days. If your payment shows pending or does not appear right away, check your transaction history and then contact Synchrony support for confirmation.
What happens if I miss a payment?
Missing a payment may result in late fees and can affect your account standing. If you anticipate difficulty paying on time, contact Synchrony as early as possible to discuss options. Setting up autopay and paperless billing can reduce the chance of missed payments.
Can I enroll in autopay if I make a partial payment?
You can usually set up autopay regardless of balance, but any past due amount may still be charged separately. Confirm your autopay settings and current balance in your account to ensure the correct payment behavior.
Where can I find my Sears Card billing address for payments?
Your billing address is shown on your statement and in your online account under billing details. Use this address for mail payments and for verification when making Sears Card payment online or by phone.
