Synchrony just lowered the limit on my Marvel Card

Just got an alert that I had a CLD on an account. Logged in to see that Synchrony lowered the limit on my Marvel card from $25,000 to $1,024. Wow! LOL! Almost a $24,000 decrease.
But, to be honest, I wasn't using the card as frequently. It is what it is though. I plan on keeping it open.
Anybody else recently get a huge CLD from Synchrony?

Search this forum and you'll find quite a few instances of this lately, especially from synchrony. They seem to be cracking down on people with super high limits who aren't fully utilizing those limits. Some people have had success getting their limits back. The $1024 amount is a computer algorithm thing.

5% back or long 0% financing on Amazon purchases.

Long 0% financing on Lowe's purchases that stack with my 10% veteran discount.

 

I haven't heard of any big CLDs for those that actually use their cards unless there were other factors at play that could spook any lender.  There was the whole blue-envelope-a-thon a while back, but otherwise unless you're grabbing a ton of Synch cards at once and/or getting $100k of credit from them on a $30k income, most consumers don't seem to have an issue.  They're not like Barclaycard where they take AA seemingly at random.

Re: Synchrony just lowered the limit on my Marvel Card

very common recently for non-usage as others stated.. Many threads out there.  When is the last time you used it?  6 months or so ago?

You can also throw in 6-12 month 0% financing from Walmart/SC at stores depending on the size of your purchases. Synch's financing options in general are pretty good to have as long as you use them responsibly.
