James: you might be right... I mean I am hoping to get approve for at least $500. I am planning to get two chromebooks for my kids

$500 approval doesn't sound that hard to get,  even at $400 you may have to use 75% of the CLI for a pair of $150 chromebooks, so not the end of the world, just work on paying it down before you AP for anything else, you can even try calling or chatting with credit solutions for a CLI and see how that goes.

Re: Amazon chance

Sync does not recon.  It could go either way approval/denial..  You really don't have that many new accounts reporting or TU inquires.. Your scores are what makes me question whether an approval would happen or not along with the other factors you mentioned.. Ultimately it is you call, but if I was to throw a dart at it I would say 600 CL.which might not be big enough to be useful.

Re: Amazon chance

Also another reason why I am gardening is because I want to app for Barclays, Chase freedom, discover it and Wal-Mart in December. So I am torn between applying now for amazon or wait later. I really want those cards too.

Garden and let those accounts age is my best honest advise to you and your scores will start to go up and then you can revisit it towards the end of the year.  That is my best advice to you..  You might be able to get approved for the amazon store card, but you have enough cards now if you use them responsibly you might be able to get better cards aka Discover/Freedom etc down the line.

Re: Amazon chance

I think you have a chance at the store card. If I were in your shoes I'd go for it. Synchrony was the first to give me a card when I first started rebuilding (a Walmart store card) so I say it's worth a try... go for it!

Re: Amazon chance

When I got my Amazon store card, my TU was about 630 and I had a couple of collections still reporting. Started at $600, now $3500

Re: Amazon chance

Okay So against most of everybody's suggestions, I decided to do mini app spree. Might as well since I am out of the garden. Here are what I got:

Wal-Mart- $400/ tried recon cli but denied
Amazon- $600/ tried recon cli but denied
Target- $300/ tried recon cli but denied
Barclays -denied/ tried recon but still denied
Best buy- denied/ didn't recon

It is a mixture of good and bad though I am just sad that I was not approved for Barclays. Oh well... At least I got some. Now I need to get my ass back to garden.

Re: Amazon chance

My scores were a bit higher than yours when I got approved. My starting CL was $600, I was able to get a CLI last week to $3000 which is what I asked for. Today I did another online chat, asked for $6000, got $5000 instead. I'm very happy with that.

 

I do order a TON from them. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

 

GL in whatever decision you make.

Congratulations!!! And just an FYI, wait 4 months and then request CLIs on both Walmart and Amazon (Amazon may give an auto increase before then) but both are good at giving me CLIs every 4 months like clockwork! Target,, ugh, some have luck with CLIs with them, but I dont. The other 2 that denied you, just give your other cards 6 months to age and then try again.
