Sync Amazon Luv on New Account

So Synchrony approved me for an Amazon Prime Card a little over a month ago with a sad limit ($1k). I've made good use of it, including getting 12-month 0% financing for an $800 purchase. I want to use it more often, but with that small a limit, it's only so useful. 

 

Inspired by Pizza's guide to Sync CLI (and by the fact that my TU score has jumped up to the 740s) I decided, what the hell, and used Live Chat to ask for a bump to $8K. Sync countered with $4k, which I obviously took Smiley Happy 

 

The only down side is that my Chase Amazon Visa is now even more useless. I might retire that card down the line and replace it with a Marriot card or (shooting for the moon here) the CSR, but will keep it around for util purposes since it's currently at $6k CL/$0 balance.

Congrats on the cli. That's true, if you have amazon store card, the visa version is kinda useless. Hard to beat the 5% bak on the store card.

Yeah, the 5% cash back or 0% financing choice makes this a great deal if you're good at keeping your balance paid down. Wish I had realized it existed first!

Congrats on getting your cliSmiley Happy. I am shocked though they didnt approve you for whole 8k considering your TU is in the 740's. That kind of score with Sync should yield a 10- 15 k limit going off posts with people with those scores but then again, this is the New SynchronySmiley Sad

Yeah I was obviously hoping for more, but oh well. At least I can fit more than a new mattress on it now Smiley Happy
