Synchrony is so weird

I have 2 cards with Synchrony :

 

CareCredit $4900.00

Paypal Essentials $700

 

I called the Robo Call for CareCredit for a CLI and it transfered me to a rep immediatly.  Got a CLI increase to $12000, decided to try my luck with Paypal since its only $700 was given the 7-10 day dreaded letter. I tried to Recon, and I explained to the reps the analysis doesn't add up.  She said she would check and put me on hold.  She came back on the line and stated she couldn't overide the decision and just to wait for the letter.

Re: Synchrony is so weird

Synchrony is a different kind of beast when it comes to credit but congrats on that major CLI.

 

Before you know it they'll grant you a CLI on that other account as well. Smiley Wink

Re: Synchrony is so weird

They are indeed weird. I got 5 cards from them after my BK. All with pitiful SL’s. I did CLI all all 5 and received a total of $17,400 in increases across the board. They’re weird but very forgiving lol

Wish you better success as time goes on.

 

They can be all over the place with different card customers and sometimes it just boils down to letting time run it's course before they warm all the way up to you.

 

Congrats! on the Care Credit approval.

Re: Synchrony is so weird

Congratulations and don't be discouraged. I had to wait literally years to get a decent CL for Care Credit. I took numerous HP's until I finally waited almost a year and tried again and finally got a really good CL of 18k. But, as I said, it certainly did not happen overnight.
