Synovus Cash Rewards $20,000!!!

So I just went on a mini-spree and locked down a Schwab Amex ($10k), PNC Cash Rewards VS ($10k), USB Altitude Reserve VI ($25k) and BofA Biz Cash Rewards WMC ($3.5k). I had my eye on one more nugget, thanks to @CreditCuriosity post from 2018, and it looked favorable.

 

Synovus Bank:

  • If you're not an existing customer you have to apply in branch
  • You don't have to have a checking and/or savings product to apply for it; the CC can be your only product with them
  • SE Regional Bank (AL, FL, GA, SC, TN) - unclear how firm they are about geo-restriction apps
  • Not inquiry sensitive; Not new account sensitive 
  • EQ HP for new accounts, banker shared 680+ lends itself to approvals (but YMMV)

Applied for Synovus Cash Rewards Visa card (not sure if it comes in a Visa Signature variety)

  • 3% Dining (no caps)
  • 3% Quarterly Dynamic Category (you pick a category from Gas, Grocery, Retail, Maintenance, Healthcare, Business Services, Travel or Entertainment) < $3,000 cap per quarter (highest I've seen for any quarterly option)
  • 1% Everything Else
  • Includes PRIMARY CDW for car rentals (this was a surprise perk and have it in writing in the T&Cs)
  • $0 Annual Fee
  • Strong profiles = generous starting lines
  • EQ puller

Applied with the banker and and got an instant approval

  • $20,000 Starting Limit
  • 11.49% APR (pretty competitive for card with rewards like this)
  • EQ HP 764
  • No prior relationship with Synovus, ever

New Accounts: 17/24mo, 6/12mo, 0/6mo

Inquiries: 19/24mo, 8/12mo, 3/6mo

Total Credit: $400k across 20 cards so they don't play the "You have sufficient available credit" game

 

OK, this makes 5 for 5 so I'm quitting while I'm ahead (unlike my gambling habits) and heading to the garden! Smiley Happy Feeling Solid!

**UPDATE**

 

Take note in case you're looking to apply for this card and dont have any other products with Synovus. You can get this card exclusively without having to open a checking/savings account, BUT

 

Synovus has 2 online platforms. 

  • One for customers who have the card + checking and/or savings
  • One for customer who only have the card

The platform designed for cardholders only does not have an app, which I learned after trying to register and getting failed errors repeatedly. They have a "card alerts" app to manage alerts, but that's all it does. If you want to check balances or anything like that you'll have to log in on a PC. I'm driven by apps so if you're looking to get this card (alone) keep that in mind. Synovus recently launched an app refresh, but you need to have a checking and/or savings to be able to access it Smiley Mad

Thanks Joe! The APR is definetly a good one. The stats overall felt very Navy-ish (no relationship, big lines and good APR options) lol

Took me a second to figure out what you were referring to. Didn't even realize I was approaching $450,000 lol might have to do some research to see how I can snag up the remaining $13k and call it an even $450k!
