Ebates Limit

JSS3 — Sun, 19 Apr 2015 08:11:54 GMT

Any number to call and learn the actual limit?

I don't think so. It will report to the Bureaus in a day or two. I almost closed mine because I thought the temp limit was the actual limit.

I thought I'd have a chance to recon before it gets to the bureaus.

Guess I'll wait.

Yeah they wouldn't increase my limit until I had the card in hand.

Hopefully they give me 5,000 then I won't have to recon.

Surprisingly, they pulled EX. State: PA

It wasn't my best bureau with about 14 inqs.

I received the Platinum version and not the Visa Sig. That's why I fear it's less than 5,000.

A 4,000 limit would be cool too. I just don't want a 1,500-3,000. Thus far, Synch has never started me at 5,000.

As it happens, I apped for this card yesterday. Got the 7-10 day message. Called today, and got approved. She told me my limit over the phone - $5K. So, maybe if you call the back door number they can tell you.

Ebates:
(1877) 379-4936

My limit is 3,200.

Said I can try for a CLI when the card arrives. Doubt they'll bump it up. I heard this card doesn't see frequent(3-6 months) CLIs like the other Sync cards.

Oh nice, at least they're telling the actual limit now. Kind of a bummer about what it is and you don't seem to have a huge exposure with GE. I would still try to get it bumped up when the card comes.

I'll try. Will report back.

All in all, I app'd 6 cards and recieved 5/6(with a soft pull Overstock approval). So one denial. 6 more cards gained.

A tad bit disappointed but glad it wasn't a straight denial. I've read that Ron1 and CredictAddict didn't get this card on the first try. They are seasoned veterans so that puts it in perspective for me.

I'm pretty sure the Ebates card is the most difficult to get approved for out of the entire GE portfolio. I wish I knew what they want to see for a CLI on it, mine only grew once about a year ago.

Exactly @ B335is, when one looks at it like that, I have NOTHING to complain about. 3,200 is no play-play limit, either.

It's a goal to get all my cards to miniminally be at 5,000 but I won't allow that to ruin the ride. 2 yrs journey and now at 93,750 in limits! Woot!

Now I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy!

I got mine approved last Oct with $8,000 CL from the get-go. Had to call their verifications department due to an address mismatch - they pulled EX. Within 2 months, it auto-CLI'd to $11,200 where it sits now.

If it helps any mine was approved for $3200 at the top of the month of December and then the week before this last i went on CHAT to try for the 3rd time a CLI. It was Approved! and now rests at $4700. So that 4th statement cycle CLI did apply and was successful.

My temp was $1000, actual starting limit was $5k - only had it 2 months so not CLI's yet.

Pretty salty that they didn't pull TU for you on this card like they do for most of their products.

Hope you get some good use from it.

All my Synchrony cards have been TU and (1 SP) with the single exception of Lowes.

Me too Creditmagic. They're known to occasionally pull an alternate. People lose way too much sleep over hard pulls on this forum.

I don't lose sleep over HP's.

I just don't like the idea of more than oh say...15 on any one bureau...Makes my head hurt, but I sleep just fine..
