When your card arrives, check the card details and read the instructions included with it. Look for the activation website, phone number, or other instructions provided by the issuer.

#### 2. Visit the Official Activation Website

Do not share your password or one-time verification codes with anyone who contacts you unexpectedly.

#### 5. Confirm That Your Card Is Activated

Follow any confirmation instructions provided by the issuer. If you are unsure whether activation was successful, check your account or contact the customer service number listed on your card materials.

Once activation is confirmed, follow the card's terms and instructions when using it.

### Can You Activate a Synchrony Credit Card by Phone?

Some Synchrony credit cards provide a phone activation option. Check the sticker on your new card or the information included in the package for the correct number.

Follow the automated instructions or speak with a representative if assistance is available. Do not rely on phone numbers from unfamiliar websites or unsolicited messages.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://card-ledger.gitbook.io/card-ledger-docs/activate-a-new-synchrony/how-do-i-activate-a-new-synchrony-credit-card.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
