Hey everyone... my 3rd statement just cut with the Synchrony Amazon Store Card, so I requested the CLI on the website and got $10k instant approval!! Super exciting!
Here are some data points if they're helpful for others: Starting limit was $2,500. My current TU score is 754.
When I tried the CLI button on the website last month, I got denied with the "not enough experience at current credit limit" letter.
Maybe I should have asked for more? I'm wondering how high this limit can go.
Interestingly, I also have the PayPal 2% card with Synchrony and I've had 3 statements cut with that card as well, and every time I ask for a CLI, I get the same denial. I'll try that one after the 4th statement cuts next week.

Congrats on the CLI! My DW has the same card and I had her put in 50K, and they countered on that. I would suggest doing the same next time.
What did they counter with?
I actually would prefer to get a higher limit on the PayPal 2% cash back card because I can use that one outside of Amazon. I tried CLI after last statement (3rd) and got the "not enough experience..." denial so I'm going to try again after the 4th statement next week.
Congrats! CB24 & thank you for the DPs.
I've been told that different co-brands have different UW criteria -- for approval and for CLI -- which might help explain why my Synchrony JC Penny's has a 10K CL and my Lowes has a 35 K CL. Both opened about the same time with similar SL and both luv bottons worn down to a nub, but with quite different results.

I believe they countered with a 4k bump, from 8K to 12K.
fantastic CLI! Congrats!

You are the "Boss"! Wow!!!!! awesome
Congrats on your Synch Amazon CLI! Sweet $10k!
Congrats on the CLI!
As for the PayPal, Sync seems to like 5-6 months before they’ll give any luv from the DPs I’ve seen.
Congratulations on your approval!
