Where to find the Academy credit card login
Academy Sports + Outdoors issues its credit card through Comenity Bank, not through Academy's main website. To sign into your account, go to Comenity.com and look for the "Login" link at the top of the page. From there, select "Academy Credit Card" from the list of card issuers, or go directly to the Academy credit card login portal at academy.comenity.com.
You will need your username and password to log in. If you do not have these yet, you can create an account on the same login page by selecting "Enroll Now" or "Register". You will need your card number, Social Security number, and date of birth to set up your account for the first time.
The login portal works on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers. Comenity also offers a mobile app called "Comenity" that lets you manage your Academy card from your phone, available on both iOS and Android.
Key Takeaways
- Academy credit cards are managed through Comenity Bank at academy.comenity.com, not through Academy's main website.
- You will need your card number, Social Security number, and date of birth to create a login account if you do not already have one.
- You can manage your account on the Comenity website or through the Comenity mobile app on your phone.
- If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it using your email address or card number.
What you can do once you are logged in
After you sign in, you can view your current balance, recent transactions, and payment due date. You can also make a payment toward your balance directly from the portal. Most cardholders set up automatic payments so they do not have to log in each month.
The portal also shows your credit limit, available credit, and interest rate. You can read statements as PDF files and view up to 24 months of transaction history. If you have questions about a specific charge, you can dispute it through the portal or contact Comenity customer service by phone.
Resetting a forgotten password
If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot Password" on the login page. Comenity will ask you to enter either your email address or your card number. You will then receive a password reset link by email, usually within a few minutes.
Click the link in the email and create a new password. Your password must be at least 8 characters long and include at least one number and one letter. After you reset your password, you can log back in right away.
Troubleshooting login problems
If you see an error message when you try to log in, first check that you are using the correct website: academy.comenity.com. Typing the address wrong or going through a different link can sometimes lead to a different login page.
If your username or password is not working, make sure Caps Lock is off and that you are not adding extra spaces before or after your username. If you still cannot log in after checking these things, use the "Forgot Password" option to reset your credentials. If the reset email does not arrive, check your spam or junk folder.
If you have never created a login account before, you will see an "Enroll Now" button instead of a login form. You must enroll first using your card number and personal information before you can log in.
Contacting Comenity customer service
If you cannot resolve your login issue on your own, you can call Comenity customer service. The phone number is usually printed on the back of your Academy credit card. You can also find contact information on the Comenity website under "Contact Us".
When you call, have your card number and a form of identification ready. Customer service can help you reset your password, unlock your account if it has been locked due to multiple failed login attempts, or answer questions about your account.
Keeping your account find
Never share your username, password, or card number with anyone, including Comenity employees. Comenity will never ask you for your full card number or password by email or phone.
Always log out when you finish using your account, especially on a shared computer. If you think someone else has accessed your account without permission, change your password right away and call Comenity customer service to report the issue. You can also place a fraud alert on your credit report by contacting one of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion.
