I was about 8 months post 13 discharge and approved for $800 for Sync/Amazon. Now I am up to $3000 and I barely use it

I agree about Chase, though - they're pretty strict and I did burn them in my 2014 BK so there's no point for me to apply to them for quite a while yet.
Depending on how much you burned Chase for, they could end up surprising you with a small approval

Really? I thought "no BK" was a pretty ironclad rule with Chase. Being that my Visa with them was $12,000 and maxed out, I really don't think much of my chances with them until at least the account drops off my reports (still something like 4 years to go, I think).
Absolutely not an ironclad rule. I didn't burn Chase but I have a Freedom signature and a CSP. There is quite a few that have burned Chase get back in though. I don't disagree waiting for it to drop off is a positive though 
good luck, don't give up

Whatever you do, do not try to app as many Sync cards as you can to maximize your pulls . Getting too many Sync cards in a short period can lead to trouble, aka the blue envelope, and shutting down your accounts.
Id say one has a better shot at Amazon Sync than Chase with bk, but as always YMMV. Weve had a couple of posters suprise us by reconning and getting the Chase Visa, heres looking at Bella007

Agreed. I realistically don't see myself having more than two Sync cards in the near- to mid-term future (Amazon Prime, which I have, and maybe later this year Walmart, or maybe even Marvel MC; I had been considering Care Credit but it's pretty much at the back at the queue if I can cover my medical expenses adequately with other cards) and exactly one Comenity card (Paypal Credit) - seriously, given that Overstock is meh as a store these days, that's the only Comenity card I actually want these days. Maybe next year once the BK has aged some more I might try to get the Chase Amazon Visa, but for now I'm letting both Chase and Citi be. I should be in a reasonably good position to get a CU Visa by fall and that should be good enough for me at that time.
