Barclay Rewards MC CLI and question about Synchrony

This is only my second post and I'm rebuilding towards the top daily.

 

I applied and was approved for Barclay rewards on 11/2013 with a credit limit of $500.

Never seen an auto CLI. Called last month because of what I had been reading on this board and given an increase to $2000. Fast forward a month. Called today and spoke with a young lady and discussed options for a CLI becuase the holidays and she offered me another $2000 increase, now I'm sitting at $4000 with them. I thanked her kindly for everything they as a bank have done for me.

 

One thing I don't understand and maybe someone can chime in and assist me on this one, I opened a Walmart card roughly the sametime last year, was given $300, never received and auto CLI. Called them and the lady I spoke with said she would move me to $500 but no more. Is there something I am missing with Synchrony?

My oldest baddie is 3 years old now and that was the Ch. 7 bankruptcy. I always use the walmart card and PIF every few days. 

Currrently my utilization is at 22% but I am about to make some payments that will drop me right about 10-12% untilization.

 

Now I'm sitting with:

Military Star 4700

Credit One  400

USAA 2000

Barclay 4000

Walmart 500

Cap One Quicksilver 300

Cap One Platinum 2000

Kay Jewelers 5100

Fingerhut 600

 

Total $19,600.00 in credit.

 

Needless to say, I am heading to the garden for the next 12-18 months.

Congrats on the increases!  I don't have a WM card but hear, antecdotally, they don't dish out that many big CLI's.

Walmart has Hitched its wagon with a loser bank - Synchrony. This came out of GE Capital. They have no ability to price risk and thus keep their business throttled. Amex has the industry best ability to price risk. 

UNFCU Visa Azure $45k, Sams Master Card $35k, Amex Costco $25k, Fidelity Visa $25k, Chase Freedom $18k, Cap 1 Mastercard $12.5k, Kohls $1.5k, Cancelled on my own BA $25 (it was Schwab card earlier) and Chase Saffire $22k. Also have 2 business cards with Chase and 1 Amex Open. AU Target $2500.
