No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
On 07/22 I called GE/Synchrony bank and requested a CLI on my Chevron/Texaco credit card. It was denied.
Yesterday, I received their denial letter in the mail which showed they pulled Transunion.
Their denial letter stated, it was not approved because:
1) recent late payments on accounts
2) no installment accounts
3) number of inquiries
I called GE's backdoor number again and asked if they could manually review it again and their reasons where a little off.
Advised them since Bankruptcy in 2010, 1) all accounts have been paid timely, 2) I have 2 installments loans, but my bank only reports to Equifax (they advised they only pull Transunion), and I have a total of 4 inquiries showing.
Nice customer service rep, re-reviewed it and increased my CL to $1,000.00 (which is what I requested). Original CL was $650.00. Card opened 4 months ago. ![]()

Great news, way to be committed, and calling them. They will do a CLI via SP every 4 months
