Don't jinx it lol.
Nah, won't happen. My score has gone up 140 points since I got that approval. I could get targeted for total shutdown like happened to others but I have had a pretty decent relationship with them so I would be really surprised.
It has had some impressive growth though. It went $1800 -> $2200 -> $3000 -> $6000 -> $8000 over the course of like 14 months (I got it 12/30/18).
I was just messing!
Your growth is very similar to mine. Took me about 18 months to get to 10k from 2200. I went from 2200 -> 3500 after 90 days then used it heavily for another 15mo or so and took the leap of faith to 10k and got it.

I got this card at $1800 12/2018 and grew it to $6K over the course of the last year. I always get shot down when I request $10K so I decided to ask for $8K this time. Instantly approved!
I will go for $10K this summer when I don't have any credit card balances.
I wasn't too sure how Synchrony felt about me closing my CareCredit less than 6 months after opening it and my B&H less than 12 so at least this confirms their algorithms still like me. 👍
@Saeren is there a period between CLI one should wait? This card in particular.
I personally have been on a 4 month cycle for CLIs on my Amazon Store Card. Most are on 3-6 month cycles but my B&H was on a 2 month cycle. If you ask early, you'll get a letter saying as much in the mail.

Ah. Ok. I got mine in December and tried in February. I should have waited until end of March or April. Thank you.

It's possible they would have given me $10K today but I didn't want to chance another no for a limit I don't actually need. I hate getting denial letters in the mail and I do have about $2500 in outstanding credit card balances right now that I'm chipping away at so I figure I'll get that down and then ask.
Congrats on your CLI!
Congrats!

Thank you for this info. I got one in ealy Jan and was wondering whether 90 or 120 made sense to hit it again.

I would probably wait 120. 3 months seems kind of rare for Amazon but if you're okay with denial letters in your box, it doesn't really hurt anything.

The only thing I do know, is that if you close a Synchrony card. You cannot get it until one year later. And not any earlier!
Ask Me how I know
I think that next 2k will be doable. 10k here we come.
Congrats! That thing has grown beautifully.
