Update: SYNCHRONY IS CRAZY!!!

So I started with 500$ limit on my Amazon store card in November 2018 and got a CLI to 1000$ last month.
I read somewhere online that after 6 or so months of getting a Synchrony card you should call them at (877) 379 - 8173 and ask for a CLI to 25k (worst case they'll counter with an offer).


I just called and asked for 10k and they said we're sorry and gave me 5k instead (5xCL)!!!!!!
I'm really happy especially that I actually use this card a lot.

I'll try later this month with my GAP and AEO cards (waiting for my Schwab card to report!)

Update:
I went ahead and applied for a CLI on both my GAP and AEO cards. Asked for an increase from 1900 to 5000 and was approved instantly on both(2.5xCL)!!!!!
The total CLI across the 3 cards is 10,200$!!!!
Synchrony is going to spoil me Smiley Happy

I agree, Synchrony is crazy. My  350/5000 service line  has been chased to 0/150.

(To be fair, not entirely undeserved but the swings in both directions were similarly irrational.)

Re: Update: SYNCHRONY IS CRAZY!!!

That really sucks. I heard that they're score driven, meaning you can get CLI if your scores jumped or get chased if your scores went down.

If you don't mind me asking, what happened?
