Account closed due to Inactivity-Synchrony

If Synchrony just closed(early this month) an account due to inactivity, will they reopen if you call and plead?

I have no clue, but would be interested in the responses to your post.

No, they won't.  You will have to re-apply.

Good to know. I wonder how long does your account have to be inactive for this to happen? Several months? More?

A year.  But to prevent closure, use it once every 3 months.

Closed after a year of no use at all. Never even activated. My mom meant to use it and was looking for the card a couple of weeks ago. Then BAM---closure.

Im not sure if this applies to only cards that are closed to user instead of cards closed by issuer, but if I close a synch card they wont let me reapply for it until 12 months have passed. you might want to find that out before you waste a hard pull on it. because they will definitely pull your credit even though they wont even consider approving you for it.

Sorry OP...

But Synch will not reopen. Plus, they have a hard fast rule of that you can't reapply for that same card for 12 months after closing it. whether you did, or they did. I closed 3 store cards of theirs last year, and each time I received a letter stating the 12 month rule. I even posted a pic of it in a thread.

Thanks! It is my Care Credit card that I plan on using soon, but have not used in a couple of months.
