I Love Amazon (or Synchrony Bank)

Okay well I logged into my online Amazon store card account...saw the chat button and thought even though the account is new I would try for a increase since Christmas is coming up. The account is only a little over a month old. CL is $800 with a balance of $83 (charged $283 to it when I first opened the account last month, the rest of the $83 will be paid off this week for Christmas shopping)

Well I tell Sean (my CSR on chat) that im sure I wont qualify for the increase because my account is so new but with Christmas coming up I thought I would try anyways....after going through the questions he comes back to tell me it wasnt approved and I will receive a notice in 7-10 days as to why. I thanked him for his time and was ready to X out of the window when I seen a message from him

He said he wanted to do something on his end to help since I wasnt approved the credit limit increase and because I am a valued customer, he said he is giving me $25 credit on my account and hopefully that helps me!!!!
I know its not much but he really didnt have to do that at all I tried with Walmart a couple weeks ago via chat and was just told I was denied and that was it. So even though I didnt get my increase I did get a account credit of $25 bringing my balance to $58. He even processed it right away for me. That was just to nice of him!! Such a blessing!!

If so, they are treating me very well with my account. My second favorite account behind Amex.

I was curious and had to try.. Same result here as well. No CLI, because my account is not even a month old, but I did get a $20 credit Smiley Happy Thanks!
