Walmart- Why won't they give me an increase

Any words or help Ive been with them since October, No increase yet, Ive chatted called and still nothing, my scores have rised like 60 points im at a 655 now. Utilizations on all cards total 24%. Anyone gotten a increase within having their  card 8 months or less? Any ideas or suggestions?

Re: Walmart- Why won't they give me an increase

I know people who have gotten CLI's in less then six months of having the card and these were auto CLI's. I have had the card about 8 months myself and have seen no love at all. The only thing I can suggest is use it and pay it off frequently. Other than that I really have no idea what synchrony looks for. Your score is good enough for a CLI provided they are using your most current score. Perhaps your utilization is too high for them, but like I said who knows. I don't waste my time chasing CLI's with them, I use the card and pay it off, if they show love then great, if not, meh my life goes on. Good Luck.

I think score needs to creep up a little bit. 680 seems to be where they let it fly.

Yes I got my increases under 4 months several small ones, but if they're giving them out automatically that is your cue to call in and ask for more

Re: Walmart- Why won't they give me an increase

When I was actively seeking CLIs I had a balance report on 4 statements with Walmart. After it posted I paid it off to avoid interest. I believe their algorithm reads a statement balance as possibly needing a CLI. I never called just used the CLI button on my account. I didn't get one every time, but I started with a $700 store card. YMMV

Re: Walmart- Why won't they give me an increase

I couldn't get one until my TU was 662. 669 put me at 3500 when I called credit solutions. 692 put me at 6000.
From what I've gathered from this bank is 660's will get you 3500. 675-700 is 6000. 700-725 is 10k, above that it depends on who at that point ( Walmart, lowes, toys r us, sams club etc) These are data points I've gathered between my DW and I as we have covered scores between 650's to 750's and we both have syncohony cards and some are the same.
