Re: Approved for Paypal MC...with disappointing SL

I got an auto increase from $300 to $1050 after 3 statements. Got my first CS increase to $3150 maybe 2 months later. Not sure if itll grow more due to overall Sync exposure but ive reached the point i no longer need to get high limits. Smiley Wink

Just a quick update: I was unable to get the card through expedited shipping & couldn't even get a estimate of when the card would be delivered from time of approval as my card has not been created as of yet, that I would need to wait the full 7-10 business days. The CSR even went as far as saying I could make purchases in the meantime with my temp. $200 limit. No thank you, I wouldn't be making any purchases until I have said card actually in hand along with my real limit. To  my estimate it should be here @ the latest July 3 Smiley Frustrated Is this the norm wait time for Sync cards being shipped out or just the paypal card?

 

I'm willing to give Sync bank/paypal a chance but so far they're not really endearing themselves to me, compared my other approval Chase who were more than willing to ship out the FU within 3-5 business days, so I'll have it in hand by Thrusday the latest.

To be fair, Sync is sending out a lot more cards than Chase.   If you take care of Sync they will take care of you.  I would suggest never, ever, going over 50% utilization on their cards. They are great cards for getting higher limits reported, but not for using high limits.

How contradictory of them, from reading numerous posts about them I know how skittish they can be even probably more than Chase,  so I plan to keep util as low as possbile on the card. In fact I don't feel comfortable carrying more than 30% for more than one month. I don't want to give them any reason to look at me sideways.

 , Synch is definitely not Customer friendly, based on my experience with them (and, they have that annoying automated Chat person).  I have the PP MC and the CareCredit cards from Synch and neither card was delivered to me as quickly as other lenders.

I applied on 6/10 and didn't get the card until this Saturday (6/22), so it was the full 10 business days. I'm honestly surprised that you got such a low limit. They were more than generous with me, but at least Chase was good to you! I'm still too scared to pull that trigger lol. I'll need to wait until next year for them now. Plus, Synch grows (which I'm counting on). Best of luck!

Re: Approved for Paypal MC...with disappointing SL

So little update: Today my 3rd statement cut & I got an auto increase of 750. From 800 to 1550. Again a little disappointing. I did let a 267 balance report, wonder if that had anything to do with the increase?Highest reported balance in the card is 340, with my monthly spent being between 200-300

I want to know what's my next step? I'm happy for the overall increase, but not the amount. Is it still worth it to call credit solutions? What's the time frame I can call between getting an auto increase & requesting one? Or do I wait it out another 3-4 months to see if synch is going to give me anything more substantial before requesting an increase from CS. My plan is to ask for 10k & have them counter.
