Whereas Discover has monkeys manning the keyboards for clis, Synchrony has dingbats
Sorry this happened to you Red.
This is why I want to close my Amazon Prime card. I like my Ebates card too much to have it close and this is why I won't just sock drawer it like is recommended. It's like preemptive
credit protection.
A month or so ago Barclays CLD me for having (I can't remember exactly) like 4-6 inqs in the LAST YEAR!!!! I closed my card as well. It isn't worth the stress or wonder that occurs when you have a Synch, Comenity, or Barclays card.
For some reason it is these 3 that this is lot just a "we do this to people who abuse credit" but a "we do this to anyone and everyone for no reason whenever we want just because we can" and that sucks!
Again-sorry this happened but IMHO you did the right thing

I just a poster on another thread mentioning a decreade from 25,000k to like 1500. I hope the poster finds this thread so we can see if there is anything we can suggest or if there are any pertinent details we can learn from. I think the thread is on decreasing limits with Synchrony if anyone would like to see.

Hey Red, did you do that all in one day? Perhaps they thought it was too desparit( needy, sorry cant spell that word for the average in me 
). If you did this within a certain time frame perhaps it kicked off an alarm with their computers saying this person looking for lots of credit within short timeframe. I dont know just a guess.
Ccpat, the good thing is if the card is something you really dont want or use anymore, just think of that as a backup. Close the one you want and if it affects the other, ah well, you were gonna close it anyway. I maintain in the back of my head should i ever run into problems with them, ill just be proactive and close all my accounts. This is also why im trying not to maintain huge balances so if that day ever came, my utilization would not be destroyed lol.

When I was approved for the card, I did it the same day. Then I called in the next morning to a service agent and I escalated to a Supervisor when I declined.
