No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I am so excited i don't even know where to start from.
Got my amazon and walmart card i guess end of jluy with $800 SCL for Amazon and only $150 SCL for Walmart.
Since then i have been trying to increase my limits on both as i use my amazon card heavily, from household items to business. Walmart did not get much use as the limit is very low.
This morning, i applied for Barclay's credit card and after an instant denial, caqlled recon line and got it approved for $1000 SCL after just a few simple questions with no sweat.
Thought i should give synchrony a shot again for the CLI i have been trying.
First tried Amazon thru chat and asked for $2K and got an instant approval. I could have asked for more but the rep gave me wrong information on counter offers. When i asked him if i dont get approved for what i ask for, if they may come with a counter offer, and he said no. So i asked for $2K and got an instant approval.
An hour later decided to give my walmart a try, thru chat and asked for $1K hoping to get maybe $500, and BOOM, instant approval for the $1K i asked for.
Went out to take care of a few things, but kept wondering if i left any money on the table with walmart, since my amazon went up to $2K.
Then i thought $800 to $2K is only 2.5x CLI vs $150 to $1K is almost 7 x CLI. So i thought i got the best i can for walmart, especially considering it has not even been 2 months i got it, andlet it go.
Came home an hour later and decided to give it another try thinking i am pushing it, especially on the same day.
This time tried walmart first, thru chat again, and asked for $2500 and guess what....? Instant approval for the full amount i asked for.
Then at this point there is no stopping me, jumped right back at amazon chat and asked for $5K and got approved for $3500
So today has been a great day so far,
Walmart CLI from $150 to $1000 to $2500 to $3500 same day, 3 chat requests
Amazon CLI from $800 to $2000 to $3500 same day, 2 chat requests.
What i think made this happen is 2 secured cards with $1000 limit was just increased to $2500 each and this alone caused my equifax fico to jump from right at 600 to 655 over night. My first statement with walmart was about $38, and the second month i only used it for $116 one time and paid it off.
My advise if you are considering a CLI with synchrony, now seems to be a good time, and shoot high and they will come bak with their best offer. So you don't leave any money on the table.
That's Great , Congrats!

Another CLI from Walmart thru chat, same day!
Final status :

Can't help but Love Synchrony Bank ![]()
and as a side note, i just got denied for CLI on my $250 Buckle card with comenity. i can't believe it.
Just did, and asked for $5K and got $3.5K with walmart.
I feel embarassed asking, but you should see the grin on my face before the chat rep came back with the result, but i already saw it in my account summary ![]()
Wow! congrats again , Synchrony is the best , the only one who believes in me
, i will try soon with mayor cards.
Awesome! Congrats
Definitely go with Barclays. Easier to get! and i consider it a real credit card will take an unsecured $1K SCL with them over a $2500 secured capital one anyday. With your score you can even do better, but i am very happy to have my first unsecured real credit card, that i do not have to go to a specific store to use ![]()

Thanks, to everyone,
this forum has helped me a lot. Since April 23rd, to be exact, the day i got my car loan, officially started working on my credit, i have been reading, from around 10 pm to sometimes till around 5/6am, and go to work with no sleep. It is just good to know that all those hours i spent is paying off, that's what makes me happier than anything else. So thanks to everyone who reads this for sharing your experience with others. It really does help a lot.
