Synchrony?????

Creditplz — Thu, 16 Jun 2016 04:28:31 GMT

I've had my Amazon card for about 2 months and it's always been at 6K... They just sent me this email which I find odd... Anyone have any idea why? Haha

I got one of those too. Was happy for a sec cause I thought they doubled my credit line in two months. Then I was like, OK they just like to mess with their card holders. And there may be a technical error that results on sending the message, or something like that.

Call CS. Maybe it's a glitch in their system.

I think its likely that there system caught up to your increase. In my opinion its almost like when you call CS for an increase its kind of like cheating( i know its not ) because you get increased majorly without having to wait for an auto increase which may take time or may not be substantial.Remember most people outside the forums do not know about CS .I know i didnt. Heck just imagine had i not known id still be at 1400 on my Marvel and would be for a long time until they decide to increase it. Ive never received the email like this but i have received the paper in the mail like a month or more AFTER already having been increased by CS. Not sure if this was your situation( did you get your amazon increased via CS?) I m no expert, just my humble opinion. Hope this helps in any way.

I haven't had this with them, but it's happened with other cards. The funny thing is I got those emails during times when I wasn't putting major spend on the card.

As great as they are, their systems seem to be rather 'glitchy' at times.

The last two times I've received a CLI on my Sam's Club MasterCard (one time using the button, the last with CS) my new credit limit and cash advance limit were updated immediately, but later when I went back and checked my cash advance limit had reverted back to the old amount (this happened both times). In both cases, when I checked again the next day it was back to the 'new' increased amount.

It's wasn't a big deal, but the first time I thought they had changed their mind or that I had mis-read the screen... the second time I remembered it happening before, and sure enough it corrected itself.

FWIW, a week or so ago when I logged into my Sam's Club MC account, I got a different landing screen before being shown my account - it wanted me to verify my personal information was correct, and said they were making changes to their systems. Hopefully that means they are working out some of the 'bugs'!
