Amazon Synchrony store card CLI; Hard or soft pull?

[Anonymous]

Logged in to pay off balance and found a request a limit increase button.

it says

'You may be asked to provide your annual net income if we do not have your recent information on file.

Income is used to determine eligibility for a credit line increase. Subject to credit approval.'

I just paid off the remaining balance of $4 or so and heavily used in december(there was a promotion). approved and began to use in mid -october last year, according to stmt. consistently used and paid off early, so util is very low, around 5% or less?

my scores are below, chase credit journey experian says i have 25 inquiries lol, co creditwise says 6(TU), dunno about equifax, no info on citi online

As far as SYNCB goes, unless you have several accounts with them and are constantly requesting CLIs (approved or denied), I could see where any internal algorithms may flag a potential next card with them (or not get the highest SL if approved). But, if you're spacing your SYNCB CLIs (or if they're infrequent) so as not to attract attention, then a future SYNCB application will likely be more influenced by your overall profile.

And, as the OP has provided an update on their CLI, this thread is now locked and closed to new messages.
