What is going on with Lowe’s/Synchrony

I got a Lowe’s card in December and it was only 2k. I tried to increase the limit but they turned me down at activation. About 6 weeks ago I logged on and requested increase to 10k. Immediate increase no HP.

Tonight I wanted to see if I could get more. Asked For 25k approved immediate.

I meant to put in 35k but hit 25 so I hit the back button and put in 35k. Approved.

Mistake? Will the CLI stick?

Thoughts.

Usually anything over 25k requires POI.

Congrats, OP! I am sure the CLI will stick. Synchrony most likely soft-pulled your credit report to increase your credit line. Besides, the Lowes department at Synchrony Bank probably understands that most consumers need a large limit to finance large projects. Smiley Wink

Well I am very happy with the 35k. I just have never had 2 CLI within minutes of each other. They must have a max you are eligible for and subsequent CLI requests don’t count.

I tried my amazon account and was denied so I still sit at 6k there.

Yeah, if you had left anything on table you can often hit the button again. Dont worry about Amazon, that's a different beastSmiley Wink. A little harder to grow than Lowes.

My Lowe’s is also $35k. Amazon stuck at $12k. No POI ever needed.

Congrats on the killer CLI! Pulled a 2k to 10k to 25k to 35k! That’s a 17x increase! *faints*
