Most all my cards have $10,000+ limits. My AOD in fall of '21 at $5k was my first 4 digit limit. Then in summer of '22, my Shop your Way was $4k. Now, today, I was preapproved and then applied for the Cap One WalMart card and my limit is $3k. They keep dropping, lol. Oh well, it's really only for 5% CB on WalMart+ groceries and the occasional order on walmart.com.

Congratulations on your Walmart card!!
A few weeks ago I was approved for a Bank of the West Mastercard but with a starting limit of $3,000. I received two CLIs today that were more. I'm okay with it though. I like BOTW too.
It may be a little easier to throw some Ideas out if we had a bit more info on your profile, scores, aggregate utilization at the time of applying, open dates of your cards... Not too familiar with AOD, however if you've been too actively opening cards, especially with a short history, I've heard that Sync can be a bit stingy. Of course in today's banking environment, I aint surprised by anything.
I'll tag a few of my MyFico spirit animals who can probably help you sort it out. @SouthJamaica @M_Smart007 @FinStar @longtimelurker @GApeachy

Thanks 805. I guess I am not really asking for any feedback. The "WTH?" was rhetorical, lol. I already think I know what it is. I have excellent credit..... except...... one baddy - a $3k medical collections from 2021. I have no intentions of paying it so it is what it is. Credit otherwise flawless. $150,000/yr with $2,000 mortgage. I think only 3 new cards in 12mo and maybe 5 in 24mo. When I check my credit scores, they range from mid/high 700s to low 800s. Not sure what my utilization is but my $320k mortgage and $35k auto are the only recurring loan payments. All cards PIF each month, no other debt.

Could be the economy.
But could be an indication that you should cool your heels on applying for new cards for a while.
With the way times are right now. Higher prime rate and so on. You can blame that possibly. I believe @M_Smart007 posted a CC debt on the rise graph. Or somebody else. All the banks will get stingier as time goes on I believe. Congrats though!!!!!!!!!!
