Score range 300 to 620 from Synchrony bank. WTH?

I applied and was denied for amazon store card. They indicated "average number of months all credit accounts have been opened" as well as too many enqeries as a reason for denial. Interestengly they indicated that my score stands at 451. But range used is 300-620.. Im not feeling bad about decline, thay can go f themselves with this toy card. Id rather wait for a year any apply for premium cards.. Anyone has an idea what scoring model tgey used? How many months of history do they want to see? Just cirious

Unless it specifically states a FICO score, it's based on their internal scoring system.

They typically pull TU so I'm not sure about that range.  It's possible it's a misprint. I understand your disappointment but if it's a toy card why did you apply for it in the first place?  Focus on getting your credit file in order and apply for cards then.  What is your AAoA?  

 

Edit - I read one of your other posts where you state that your credit file is only 5 months old.  You need to let it age and stop applying for cards until it does.  Otherwise you will be digging yourself a deep hole.

I'd wait the six months and let those inquiries age.  I'm not sure what your scores are but they should raise if you let the cards age that long and show responsible use.  I understand your disappointment and desire to get more cards.  You just need to be patient for awhile.  If you do that you'll get to a point that when you apply for a card you will know that you'll be approved.  Hang in there.
