Tough question to answer. Just call credit solutions and ask for CLI or do the chat option online. Either way it wont cost you nothing but a soft pull which is free.

Plenty of anecdotal evidence in the forums already - no need to wait for someone to tell you what you want to hear. 

 

 Call up credit solutions, tell them your initial credit limit is too low. Ask for them to raise it to $25,000. Not joking. They'll counter offer with their highest amount. Accept it.

     I would think you just gonna have to wait out the 3 months. Its worth a try I guess and you won't know for sure til you call.

Last few times I tried for a CLI with them they didn't counter at all, just a straight "we could not approve you for the increase" speach. It may be because I always try before my 6 months has passed also.

I've had the same experience with my Amazon.com card. I didn't get an auto-cli after 4 statements, so I called up credit solutions. They said I wasn't eligible. Finally got a CLI last weekend.

 

Sounds like OP hasn't called them yet, so they have nothing to lose.

Called, asked for a $20,000 limit and was told that she was unable to approve the CLI. Wasn't even countered with a smaller amount. Should i call back and talk to another rep or just wait it out till i get my auto one?

Have you tried chat? If not, give it a shot. I went from 600 to 4K after having the card for only a couple of days. I asked for 5k and they countered with 4k. I did the same thing with my Amazon card the same day.

Sounds like the same problem I had. Synchrony is very love/hate. For people like me, they'll open accounts, then never increase the credit limits. It took 8 months to get a CLI for my Amazon card. 

 

At this point, you're probably going to have to wait until after the 4th statement has cut.
