I’ve read that Synch will give a temporary CL, which in most cases is quite a bit lower than what the actual CL is. I’m sure it’s a identity theft precaution, or something of that nature. I just got a Synch PayPal Cashback MC with a temp limit of $1k.

 

You’re definitely not first/only one to get a temp CL. Won’t be the last. Look at the “backdoor numbers” thread on the “credit applications” forum and give Credit Solutions a call. A CSR may be able to shed some light on your actual CL and you may be able to get a CLI also. Many on here call and ask for $25k and get it. Some they counter offer.

 

Congratulations! I’ve wanted that Ironman Marvel MC for quite a while now. Lol. I must wait though.

Re: Marvel Mastercard....Need Your Help!

As mentioned already, that is a temporary CL.

 

When you receive your card and activate it, you'll be able to see your actual CL.

 

I got the same email.  Starting CL was actually $2k.

 

...can't remember my score when I applied, but 750ish...

Fico 9: EX 756 03/13/24, EQ 790 02/04/24, TU No idea.

It’s likely not $500 but I haven’t seen a Marvel approval over $2000 going back as far as September of last year. Synchrony seems to keep the SL pretty low on these.

Re: Marvel Mastercard....Need Your Help!

UPDATE....I called in and my starting limit is $2000. If I had known this card gives such low limits I would never have applied. I went for it only because I had one TU inquiry. Anyhow, I will ask for a CLI as soon as the card arrives.

He was doing $1,000 a month of testosterone cypionate alone.

Congrats on your new Marvel MC!

Sync isn’t really well known for huge SLs but they can grow pretty easily in no time.
Call in after you activated your card and ask for $25K right off the bat. They will counter if they’re not comfortable in giving you that full amount yet and in which case wait a full 6 months and call in again. You should hit that mark if not more a year after opening your acct with them. Caveat though is just be prepared to sign an IRS 4506-T form through a 3rd party (LexisNexis) in the event they ask for POI. Unlikely but a very real possibility with Sync.
