@Anonymous your question regarding how soon you can ask was answered in your approval thread:
https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Card-Approvals/Lowe-s-Card/m-p/6160663#M707163
But the answer to that is immediately after being approved. For online requests, there is a Request Credit Increase link in the Services tab.

I wasn't aware of a backdoor.
Does it make a difference?
@Anonymous, You may have to wait 6 months ... If you just received the card?
ETA: Welcome to the forum

The "back door number" for Credit Solutions is a different department that handles multiple Synchrony-issued cards. They will actually do a soft pull while you are on the phone and review your account for an increase. Calling the servicing number on the back of the card is basically no different that using the button yourself on the website; if computer says no, it's a firm no.
No wait is required for calling Credit Solutions. I called immediately after applying and was granted $17,000 (I believe my initial approval was only $6500). Calling them is not a guarantee that you will receive a higher line, however. Your credit profile will need to support it.
