Ok thanks Borimer, I just got my first statement, I'll give it a shot! 


Let me re-iterate. I've never been approved for a cli from Synchrony by hitting the button. I believe my particular situation is a-typical. I was denied 3 times and the day after the third denial I came home to an auto increase on both Amazon and Walmart. It was shortly after my 2nd statement generated on both cards. I haven't yet had 4 statements on any Synchrony card I have. I only shared my experience in the short time I've been with them. Not trying to suggest that anybody else should follow my lead and expect to get similar results. It's always a YMMV with any CCC and any situation.

Re: Sync/GE CLI Question

I don't think I have actually gotten an increase from the luv button online, but I have gotten increases from the phone system or from talking to a rep.  Once I even got an increase from talking to credit solutions. 

 

With my PayPal MC with them, they have always been pretty good about giving me increases automatically.  The first one came after about three months of having the card.  I don't think I have actually ever gotten a CLI with the Walmart card automatically.  I think I always had to ask for that.  I did get the offer to upgrade it to the Discover version, which I declined knowing it would be a new account with a new starting date, not a conversion to the Discover version.  I didn't really need it at that time anyway because there rewards on the card are not good for me in comparison to other cards.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Always follow these rules: Only take a HP for a new account. Always use the best rewards card for that reward category. Don't close a card unless you know you really should. Never use more than 35% of a credit limit. Recon as much and as best you can. Use the introductory period to the best advantage. Get the signup bonus. Whenever possible PIF or balance transfer so you pay less in interest. Never give an excellent rating when it is actually the norm. Always look for a discount as more is always better.
Always accept candy from strangers because they have the best candy or from people you know have good candy.

Re: Sync/GE CLI Question

In case anyone is curious...I reached my official 4 month anniversary over the weekend.  I just hit the Luv button online and instant approval for $8k increase.

 

So in my case at least, it was not the 4th statement, but rather the 4th month anniversary of the account.

 

YMMV

Discover It - $25.5k | Sam's Club MasterCard - $25k | Chase Sapphire Reserve $23.8k | Amex EveryDay - $23k | Barclays JetBlue - $23k | Citi TYP - $7.1k | Cap1 Quicksilver WMC - $7k | Marriott Rewards Premier Visa Signature - $6.5k | Chase Freedom - $3.2k | Amex Gold - NPSL |
TU 08 FICO - 812 | EQ 08 FICO - 799 | EX 08 FICO - 793 |

Re: Sync/GE CLI Question

Thank you for letting us know, I was wondering about the 4th statement/4 months as well. I just had my 4th statement cut on walmart and was getting same msg when hit luv button. My 4 months isn't up until the 28th of this month. Will wait and see what happens, then hit luv button again if not auto cli.
